The year of living Veganly.... or other bad movie title puns

So, as my readers may know, last year I discovered I had suddenly been "ALLERGIZED" or in other words, developed an allergy to dairy products.
At first this was daunting and really pissed me off.
Now, however, I have to say honestly, it was the BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO ME.
Steve and I both cut all dairy out of our diets. We also cut out meats, since the way BIG FARMS feed cattle is atrocious and it also contains dairy whey or casein which was making me ill.
We were going to continue to eat fish and seafood. I was trying to coin a new term for it (peskavegan) which didn't seem to catch on... grrrr.
BUT now we are COMPLETELY plant based!
No more meat, fish, dairy or processed foods.
We shop the produce section of the grocery store and the frozen veg section and since we drink almond milk, we shop that outter ring. The only things we shop the inner isles of the grocery store for these days are grains, beans, canned tomato and cat food. (ladies monthly products as well, however I didn't think that should be typed without brackets.)
I am 43. Will be 44 in May. I feel like I am 16.
I don't have to stretch my legs before I get out of bed anymore to ward off the pain in my foot.
I can climb stairs quickly and take two at a time if I like.
I can walk up the SUPER big hill by the house to Main Street and can still hold a conversation while doing it.
I weigh 130#!
Yes, 130 pounds! I haven't been this thin since I was 20.
As soon as the weather breaks and it gets warmer up here I should be dropping those last 10 pounds by cycling all over the Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal bike trail. WOOOOOOOOO!
The best thing there is I have maintained the 130# through this winter, with no exercise. Now, I am not advocating no exercise, but just saying that a plant based diet has make it easy for me to stay at this weight when I am not very active. WOOOO!

So, I am going to post a recipe a day for 30 days so that anyone who says, WELL I DON'T HAVE TIME TO COOK will have to eat their words, while eating a lovely plant based dinner!
AWESOME!
LET THE FOODING BEGIN!
