A few weeks ago, I decided to go from mostly vegetarian to mostly vegan (I say "mostly", because when I am at someone else's place, I will eat whatever is served).
I found that I had really no desire to eat animal products anymore. I made the decision for ethical/religious, environmental and health reasons.
(no worries, the cats are still carnivorous)
But now I'm finding it a bit difficult. I don't know what to eat anymore. I know I can find lots of interesting vegan recipes out there, but I don't always have the time or energy to look up a recipe, get the ingredients and prepare the food. I need things I can prepare easily.
I have been eating a lot of bean salad and I think I'm really sick of bean salad now.
It's still too hot for soup.
I bought some veggie burgers, but I would prefer to avoid processed food generally.
I am also having a hard time with snacks. It's too hot to replenish my reserves of baking and aside from toasts with peanut butter, I'm stumped. Luckily I just discovered that the no-name Nutella has no milk products in it.
Maybe I'll make some hummus today. I would also love to make vegan sheppard's pie again (made with lentils. soooo yummy!) but it's too hot for that.
I'm also having a hard time making good tofu.
Any suggestions?
