Most people should know by now I am going back vegan, not for any reason except I feel better not eating red meat.
When I feel the need for more I have chicken.
But I will eat from the sea and lakes.
Today, although I had to cook the beans outside, I made one of my favorite dinners, all vegetables!
Dry beans - baby green Lima beans with salt and earth balance butter
Potatoes - skins on, sliced and fried with garlic, season salt and black pepper.
Turnip Greens - Home canned from my own garden, a drizzle of oil, salt and splenda.
Okra - grown in my own garden and frozen, boiled and seasoned with earth balance butter and salt.
The best meal I have had in a week.
What did you have for dinner?

I could never go without red meat. But hope you can stick to it for as long as you want to.

@andriaperry We have family members here living without animal products for decades! It soon becomes a 'non issue' for most.

If you can stick to it, more power to you. I am not fond of meat either only fish, eggs and chicken.

yesterday we had sauteed sirloin tips, steamed broccoli and baked potato -and we didn't cook or clean it up! I thought vegans don't eat chicken?
If I fed my husband a veggie dinner he would be at the closest McDonalds or Hardees looking for the beef. We eat meat, chicken, turkey, fish and I don't worry about it. We have cut down on the amount of beef we eat, we usually share a steak...meaning he eats 2/3 and I eat 1/3 of decent size steak.

@andriaperry the words going back are not the point. Chicken was. My cousin is a die-hard vegan and one of the most unhealthy looking people I've ever seen.

Good luck on your vegan lifestyle! I think I'll be having steam chicken, some veggies and rice.

Last night I ate at Perkins near Kansas City. I had breakfast for the second time in a day, but it goes well for me. I had sausage links, eggs, and a Belgian Waffle topped with yummy fresh strawberries. Hubby and I will shop sometime today and pick up more veggies to eat because we find we feel best when we eat lots of veggies along with all of our other foods.

@andriaperry No, we had the pulled pork. My daughter also made us cheese sandwiches and she brought out sweet beans, some corn on the cob, and I requested mashed potatoes with gravy.

Tomatoes, avocados, and onions in a mixed green salad, which is one of my favorite meals. As you may recall, we are a vegan/vegetarian household. Love raw foods and things fresh from the ground the most @andriaperry

@andriaperry I do not want to take supplements, so I eat everything I need to have enough proteins and vitamins, but absolutely no meds.
