vegan week

This week I did the whole vegan thing.

I tried my hardest to stay away from meat, dairy, butter, etc etc. 

It's difficult! 

So much stuff has animal parts in it. 

I know I messed up a little bit here and there; 

I ate some cookies that I'm sure had eggs, butter and granulated sugar in them (yes, most sugar is processed with bone char. crazy, isn't it?!) 

I also started working at a coffee shop, and I couldn't refuse taste-testing the drinks. :)

But all in all, I'm pretty happy with myself.

I can't see myself as a hardcore vegan anytime in the future, but a majority of the food I make at home will be vegan. When I'm out & about, I'll try my best, but there are no promises.

For breakfast, I ate cereal with almond milk, toast or no-cook refrigerator oatmeal. This oatmeal is SO good. You make it overnight and eat it cold! :D All it has in it is: 
-1/4 c raw old fashioned oatmeal 
-1/3 c almond milk, 
-1/4 c apple sauce, 
-1/4 c finely chopped apple
-cinnamon 
-------
other things you can add: sweetener, chia seeds, flax seed, different fruit, peanut butter, cocoa powder. The possibilities are basically endless. :)

mixed it all up, and it's ready to be eaten the next morning/day.
*When I make food, I usually eyeball ingredients, so those measurements are kinda guesses. sorry.

and bread for toast!

I made a couple other things, but didn't get pictures of them like a soup and chocolate coffee truffle things. I don't really know what to call them, but they tasted great with or without a name. :)
