VEGAN MYTH-BUSTER #3.
"If I go vegan I won't be able to make my favorite dishes"
We have learned a little secret; you can make a vegan version of just about anything you used to eat! We convert recipes all the time and it's a fun thing to do. As time goes by you will learn that it is as simple as your old way of thinking and it can be a great taste adventure.
Above is a little peak into our book, with tons of beautiful food images that prove, without question, that Vegans don't miss out on anything! I hope you like it :)
To purchase the e-book Conscious Evolution: Vegan Recipes, Life and Consciousness, click on the image of the book cover in the sidebar. $1 from each book sale goes to one of two organizations I love: Navdanya and Cal-Earth.
VEGAN MYTH-BUSTER #4.
It really can be quite simple and work out to be about the same cost as eating meat and dairy if you make things yourself instead of relying on ready-made products in packages (which tend to be expensive). I think we need to put things in perspective here though. We are what we eat and do in this world. If we love ourselves enough we only want the best food to enter our bodies, and this, in return draws lovely things our way such as health, joy and positive outcomes to situations.
We have found that we actually save quite a bit of money because one of the amazing side effects of going vegan (daunting to some people) is that we almost entirely stop wanting to drink alcohol. I'm not sure why but it always seems to happen to people who choose this lifestyle (my friends anyway). I was raised drinking wine with meals and enjoyed it very much, but now I'd much rather have an awesome smoothie or a glass of almond milk. Alcohol doesn't seem to make me feel very well when I drink now- so I generally don't = more money to spend on better food!

Thanks for such a lovely homage to the vegan lifestyle :) I've started the transition, and also noticed the alcohol aversion! I feared turning into a prude was a side-effect of going vegan, so thanks for the reassurance :)
Looking forward to trying your delicious-looking recipes...
