A new endeavor

So I have a new "thing". I've decided to become vegan (for the most part - not going to go crazy if the small piece of bread I have has eggs, but will choose to buy eggless/milkless bread when shopping). I've been doing pretty well. I feel better (minus work beating me up, crazy deadlines). It's been interesting in exploring all sorts of new foods. My favorite so far - sloppy joes made with barbeque sauce and tempeh. Yummy! I've also decided to start trying to write down my dinners. Key word there is trying. Some nights I'm just too hungry to write it down. So I've altered that concept into taking pictures. Hooray for food porn! Yes, that's the correct term. Just do a search in Flickr for "food porn" and you'll start drooling all over the keyboard and your stomach will be screaming FEED ME FEED ME! WHY DO YOU TAUNT ME?! So here's a picture of the dinner that I cooked the other night of what Thomas and I had in what I think was a very well rounded meal.


- Veggie burger on whole wheat bun with romaine lettuce and mustard. Could have used some tomato, but I was out.
- French style green beans - not too bad from a can.
- Hi-Pro-Tatoes. A recipe I got from "101 Things to Do with Tofu". Interesting. It's a version of garlic mashed potatoes, but without the milk or butter. Use canola oil and some extra firm tofu (and the garlic) mixed in a food processor until smooth, then mix it in with the potatoes. Yummy.

Any other ideas? I'll be sure to post more pics seeing it keeps me accountable too.

Oh, and Sadie is now 9 months old, crawling all over the place, has 4.5 teeth (half because one is almost all the way out), is tall according to the doctor's stats from today (75-90% percentiles), we're under contract for building our new house, and we currently are debating between the two offers that we received just today for people to buy our house. Phew. And ... and ... and... ... ... you get the point. More later... and more pics!
