Going Vegan in Alabama

Posts Tagged ‘Vegan Sightings’

The word "resolution" can be intimidating and can also lead to immediate breakage. You could try something new like the 365 List. 3 things to work on; 6 things you want to accomplish; 5 things to stop doing. Here are a few ideas for the list ...

3 Things to Work On:

1. Spend less. Especially on things you Already have.
2. Be More "Green" -- Not the color, more eco friendly that is.
3. Smile more. Smile when you talk to someone. You would be amazed at how You feel and how you make them feel.

6 Things I Want To Do:

1. Make at least 3 new recipes a week
2. Make my own bread twice a week -- use a bread maker -- you'll save money in the long run.
3. Use Tofu more often for dinner.
4. Read more "good" books.
5. Get out of the house at least once a month -- visit relatives, attend a meeting.
6. Connect with "forgotten" friends -- at least two this year.

5 Things to Stop Doing

1. Stop self doubt and criticism
2. Stop being negative -- when being so, flip it immediately to something positive. Example, having to go yet again to store for Vegan ingredient forgotten, Flip to, I am so grateful, I am able to buy Vegan ingredients I need locally.
3. Stop being critical of others -- I don't walk in their shoes -- so who am I to criticize.
4. Stop making assumptions -- I will stop assuming other people know what I want -- I will tell them outright.
5. Stop making excuses, there is only one person responsible for what is happening in my life.

In the January 12 issue of Woman's World Weekly has a recipe for rosemary carrot muffins that are vegan!

Unfortunately, most muffin recipes and other recipes in magazines are not vegan. Some can be made vegan by chaning ingredients -- yet changing baking recipes can be tricky.

So, it might be a good idea to only use vegan recipes for vegan baking ...

Haven't even done New Years resolutions yet -- may do them soon and write about them.
