It's been a little over half way and I'm not tired of it (surprisingly). The only thing I have really been craving is a milkshake and I got the vegan version of that yesterday. It was pretty steep in price, though. A whopping $8! However, this place puts all of the ingredients on it's menu so I'm sure I can make it at home for much cheaper. Even though the "milkshake," or as the restaurant refers to it "smoothie" was a little pricey, I still HIGHLY recommend Luna's Living Kitchen if you're in the Charlotte area.
Also, after 2.5 weeks of eating vegan, I've lost a little over 6 pounds and I feel great. I absolutely hate being hungry so I love that I can eat any time and anything I want (as long as it's vegan) and I don't have to worry about how I'm going to work it off the next day.
Every few days I try to make a new vegan dish. This week I made vegan cornbread. My husband let me know it was the best cornbread he'd ever had and that he always wanted to eat it that way (I'll post the recipe at the bottom). Eating vegan at home is pretty easy. Making vegan choices when you go out to eat can be a little more difficult. However, I have found a few restaurants that make choosing a little easier: Mexican places and Italian places are probably the easiest I've found.
