First 3 days of being Vegan..oh wait, I had cupcakes...

So, why have we decided to go Vegan? Well, our doctor asked us to. Both of us, despite all the juice we are drinking have high cholesterol.  Too much cheese, I think. Neither one of us would like to take medication, so we are conducting an experiment. We are going (mostly) Vegan for at least 3 months. Saturdays will still be "Eat what ever the fuck you want to" days.

We recently discovered roasting vegetables. I saw a recipe on Pinterest for the "best broccoli you will ever have in your life". It's true. It is really good broccoli!

Take your fresh broccoli and toss it with olive oil, salt and pepper. Then, pop it in the oven on 350 for 15 minutes. Then broil it on high for another 5 minutes. = AWESOME.

Now we do all the veggies that way. With corn, we use  frozen. Toss it with the olive oil, salt and pepper and then put it in the oven for the 5 minutes of broil with the other veggies.

This is yesterday's dinner. All the veggies were cooked in the same fashion and the whole thing took about 20 minutes to make. Corn, cauliflower, broccoli, and surprise, surprise: brussel sprouts. Until this dish, I had never ever had any brussel sprouts that tasted good. 

Tonight, we had a similar dinner, but with no corn. Chris made some really delicious potato slices. Chris has been 100% vegan for these first 3 days. I had some cupcakes that were not vegan today, but otherwise I'm doing good too. We even found a dessert that isn't made with eggs or butter or milk: Biscoff cookies. Yum!
