(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?)

Beautiful birthday book from my bestie!
Christy Morgan is a graduate of the Culinary School I’m going to in a month (a month OMG!!! That’s so close!!!!) She was even at the open house last weekend and is a very inspiring person!! Her book is awesome!!!!
Meal was - portabella burger fries and broccoli.
Chris took me out to eat tonight.
Hummus and tapenade
It’s official!!!
I’m starting culinary school in July!! I’m so excited!!! I’ll be going to The Natural Epicurean Academy of Culinary Art and will train in the following disciplines:
- Macrobiotic
- Vegetarian
- Vegan
- Ayurvedic
- Raw & Living Foods
This is what I have had up my sleeve and what has kept me so busy lately. Lots of soul searching and trying to decide if this was the right direction. It’s too much $$ to go just for funsies! I went to the open house last weekend and it was wonderful and I was ready to apply right then and there but had to discuss it with Chris first.
July will be here before I know it!!!!
At the open house they discussed career options after graduation and the idea of working with medical professionals to help people who have special diets sounded really fun. I’m going to keep an open mind though because I’m not even sure what all my options are at this moment!!!

Dinner last night. Taquitos and salad with the Wrights of Texas salsa!
13 WW pts
These are currently on sale at WFM!!! I picked up the “chicken” ones today!!! Only 3ww pts per roll for this flavor. So delicious!!!
Dinner was a bunch of leftovers mixed together. Spiced chickpeas, garlic couscous and roasted vegetables.
5ww pts
Beautiful day for a walk. Earned 6 activity points doing it!
My win for the day was resisting the urge to get a soy latte.
Pleasantly of the day - found out the manager at the Starbucks I go to is 3 weeks vegan!! Yeah!!!!
Chris wanted to check out the new Whole Foods at Bee Cave and I picked up some stuff for dinner. Sesame tofu, beet & pecan salad and a couscous apple salad. I added the peas. Delicious !
Not the best choice diet wise but I had a craving. Amy’s non dairy Mac and cheese (14 WW pts. Ahhhhhhh) asparagus and mushrooms
Leftovers lunch - pita hummus tabuleh and falafel
Yes I feasted on homemade hummus. Nice and warm! No regrets!!!
From the new issue of Vegetarian Times. Spicy broccoli raab and gemelli. Delicious!
