The title pretty much says it all. For the month of February, we will be 100% vegan. You’ll be surprised to know that this wasn’t my idea. It was Corey’s. Yes, really. Corey suggested going vegan for a month. I can’t say that I hadn’t thought about this myself, but I never thought Corey would agree to it. Little did I know, he was thinking the same thing! (In regard to going vegan, not in regard to me not agreeing to it. He knew I would agree wholeheartedly!) Honestly, this won’t be such a huge change for either of us. Other than on Shabbat and the occasional cheese or egg added to a weekday dinner, I only eat vegan food. And Corey too, same as me, but he adds fish to his salad at lunch. The only non-vegan thing that Kovi eats (yes, we’re including the kids in this) is yogurt and I’m pretty sure he actually has a mild intolerance because he spits up A LOT after eating it. And Asher has been giving up his cows milk and asking for almond milk. Asher eats yogurt too, but I’ve forgotten to pick up his yogurt before, he asks for it once, I tell him we don’t have any and that’s the end of it. So, I imagine, that will work. So yeah, no more cow’s milk, cheese, yogurt or eggs for a while (and for me, possibly forever…). On a side note, considering blogging a picture of what I’m eating each day in February, but we’ll see if that actually happens.
