Sorry for the lapse in the blog life was busy. So Tara and I are still going strong. We both feel great and cravings are gone, except for the occasional Pepsi yearning.
Tara and I both lost 4 pounds the first week, and we are excited because this diet (lifestyle change) doesn't seem that difficult. Tara is being extremely creative with the dinners and we find ourselves looking at all the ingredients in everything we buy or cook.
OK tried to make vegan mayo for our artichokes, that tasted terrible, we will look for a new recipe.
We found a garlic artichoke sauce for our pizza, loved it.
We went out tonight, Gnocchi with Pesto sauce, we were a little suspicious of the pesto sauce, it was a creamy sauce which make us think there was cheese in it, but we are not sure and we decided not to ask after we already ate it.
So if you have a good vegan mayo recipe, please share.
Vegan and happy! Only 32 days to go!
Brian and Tara:
ReplyDeleteI found this vegan mayo recipe. Sounds strange but vegan sounds strange :? lol
Anyway, maybe it will taste as good as the author of the post says it will. I guess she said it comes close to the texture of real mayo. ???
