Becoming Vegan is not as hard as you might think I think some people tend to complicate things.  I am a straight forward kind of person I like to make life as easy as possible.
The best way to eat vegan is simply one day at a time.  Let’s start with Monday it seems the easiest day to start with since “everybody else is doing it” (btw, I don’t always recommend that kind of reasoning)  but here we are. We know it’s a good idea to eat less meat, lower cholesterol if we just do it one day a week..maybe we will like it.  Then maybe we will do  Meatless Monday AND Meatless Friday!
It could happen as a matter of fact it is likely to happen if you really want it to.  The trick is GREAT recipes you need to know you aren’t depriving yourself of good food but that your vegan food can be just as satisfying as the original.
So your Meatless Recipe for the Meatless Monday is….(drum roll please)
