Weekday Vegan

I love meat. I love chicken. I am reasonably keen on fish when served with chips. But during the week I am a vegan.

I eat no meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, butter or cheese. I do this to maintain my weight and because I LOVE VEGETABLES and eating lots of them makes me feel great.

My staple week day meals are pumpkin and spinach lasagne, vegetable curry and avocado on toast. I also make a mean burrito and potato & cauliflower soup.

Tom is addicted to my vegan sultana biscuits and I would make them more often for him if only so many of them didn't end up in my little belly.

On the weekends it is more difficult to not eat animal and animal products so I just eat what everyone else is eating. More often than not we eat out on the weekend and go to our families' place for dinner. I don't like to make a big fuss about what I am eating so I just don't usually tell people about the vegan thing.

I do not eat a mostly vegan diet because I am concerned about the treatment of animals. It is not that this does not concern me, it just isn't the reason I chose to eat mostly fruit and vegetables.

The best thing about eating vegan during the week is that I don't have to worry about how much I am eating. I can pretty much eat as much as I feel like. I can eat carbs. I love pasta, rice and all things bread related.

I also eat mostly organic food. It just tastes better.

So there you have it.......my complicated diet explained in one small post...
