A lot of people think it’s hard to go vegan.

It can be. I won’t sugarcoat it. Any change to habits and routine can be a challenge. Add in the emotional connection we have to familiar food and it gets harder.

But going vegan can also be AWESOME! My food choices exploded overnight, and before I knew it was was coming up with my own fantastic and delicious dishes. A lot of comfort foods can be veganized as well.

You never have to feel deprived as a vegan.

One of my favorite things is to share my favorite vegan food with omnivores and watch their faces light up. I can’t tell you how many times my dishes have been requested by friends, family and coworkers for gatherings.

People (me included) are SO FREAKING BUSY these days that making everything from scratch seems impossible…and buying pre-made vegan food is pretty expensive. I plan to post some easy vegan dishes which are inexpensive to make along with tips to lighten your cooking load, and eventually I’d like to create a mailing list with menus and shopping lists for each month. So hold on for that!
