(THE OLD NEWS)
It started as a four week trip into the world of a vegan diet as an experiment for hubby's job...
... the trip is now ongoing and we are learning as we go.
Along for the ride is our non vegan offspring who thinks chicken is a major food group.
This blog is about what we ate..what we found.. and what we have learned as we go...as well as a little kid torture (that's what parents are for right?)

Count your sweet potato bean thing with the sweet potatoes as the bad boy of the bunch. Beans have lots of fiber so come off as less with WW points. It looks awesome. I might try to recreate it too, but throw in a little cilantro at the end just to brighten it up.
I ended up counting the beans because a cup came out as 5 and the sweet pot came out as 4. I was thinking the sweet pot would be more as well. Most salads I recreate tend to come out at 5. Cilantro at the end would be awesome, thanks for the suggestion!!! The seasoning was chili powder, cumin and lime vinaigrette and the peppers were roasted. I warmed it up but I bet it would be good cold too and I’m thinking might be good in a tortilla or even a taco shell!!!
