I'm Accidentally Vegan!

Colleen ranted and raved about this diet so finally I was like, I'll do it with you. It's an all vegan diet minus added oils. So no olive oil, canola oil, vegetable oil etc. so that means no hummus! This has been much easier than you would think. I've been making some amaaazing recipes, including Macaroni and Not Cheese and Gnocchi with Marinara Sauce and Vegetarian Meat Crumbles. I also invented a sandwich with mixed field greens, quinoa, hummus and balsamic vinaigrette. It's a "salad in disguise" as Colleen likes to call it. Also, we have been swimming every night and trying to exercise on a daily basis to prep for our New York Trip 2010! We will be getting on a train at 3:30 ish AM in a couple of weeks and heading to the "big apple." I'm really excited. I love New York. I've also been doing some research and discovered several vegan restaurants that are on our diet that I really want to try. One is called Bonobo and it's primarily focused on the Bonobo's diet I think. Like raw foods, nuts, salads, fruits and lots of veggies; but to make it more people friendly, they also have tofu scrambles for breakfast and meatless sausage. Another restaurant I found is called Blossom. It's all vegan and it looks absolutely incredible. We are trying to stick to this diet for 28 days and that overlaps with our vacation, so we're going to try our best to be good on vacation! On a side note, I have been going to the chiropractor on a weekly basis, apparently I'm all sorts of messed up. My hips look something like this x-ray except it's opposite sides. It's carazzzy. I didn't think anything was that wrong with me. and then this is what my neck looks similar to. My neck is supposed to be curved outward and it's not at all. The Doctors were baffled. Hopefully this will be fixed within a year... yeck...
