I made it one week, yes!!! And I just made killer enchiladas! The best I have ever tasted, not to brag, just happy that when I have a recipe floating around in my mind and it comes out tasting just the way I wanted it to I am a HAPPY girl! I used to make a recipe that my bestie Lisa made and loved them but no ground beef and no cream cheese anymore so when Harry said he wanted Mexican food I immediately thought of these and then my mind turned to how to get them vegan and how to get that cream cheese taste. So I will put the recipe at the bottom and apologize because I didn't count anything so hopefully you can follow it without too many problems if you want to make them. Kind of just snacked around today til dinner. Had a 6" veggie sub again, some fake Tso chicken, some black quinoa slaw, and some club crackers. Oh and a cupcake, they came in a 4 pack so I have to make them last because we won't be going back to Cleveland for a few weeks.
Today is Nate's bday and he didn't want a cake and instead wanted chocolate chip cookies. He's a bit of a health nut and doesn't care for cake but cookies are another thing. So I made some big cookies and luckily I have a chocolate chip cookie left over from the store yesterday so when the craving hits tonight and it will because I see the cookies every time I walk in the kitchen, I will have one to fall back on.
Overall it has been a very successful week full of pleasant surprises. Biggest surprise is that I absolutely love eating this way!! Will I want other things someday, sure, I am positive I will have moments of cravings but I think this is the plan for me.
All the food has been great this week! I'm really not missing the meat etc. I think of this experience as being similar to the experience I had when I quit smoking cigarettes 23 years ago. I wanted to quit and tried to several times before I was finally successful. The difference between success and failure for me was that it finally really just seemed like the right thing to do. That's the way I feel about this decision and it seems easy because of it. It helps when you have a really good vegan cook (chef?) around the house so you don't chomp on celery and carrots all day long (just a couple of times). Keep up the good work honey. The only thing else I can say is viva la vegan!
