Eating Vegan

Been some time since I've updated.  Had a realization last week that it was time to take care of myself and get healthy.  So, I am working with a personal trainer two days a week, working out and/or walking on my own the other days and beginning healthier eating habits.  Yesterday, I started a week-long all vegan diet (no meat, no dairy and very little gluten).  Honestly, it hasn't been that bad and I really haven't been that hungry. The worst part has been the no caffeine (huge headache yesterday) and the no evening glass of wine.

Tonight, I honestly felt like I was cheating.  We had quesadillas for dinner and here's how I made mine...

1 large flour tortilla
2 oz roasted red peppers, cut into strips
8 kalamata olives, sliced in half
2 oz vegan cheese

Was one of the best quesadillas that I've ever had - really!  And, of course, you could substitute the vegan cheese with real cheddar. 

Later this week I'll be making Tomato & Wild Rice Soup and Vegan Mac and Cheese.  If the recipes are worth sharing, you can count on them being here!

CHEERS!
