The Vegan Adventure Part 1
We have decided to commit to one month of being vegan, and February is the lucky month. We have been starting to slowly take out eggs, butter and milk, to prep ourselves. The hardest thing to cut out will be cheese, no more twice baked potatoes, grilled cheese sandwiches, or tacos with cheese. The hunt is now on for good vegan recipes, and restaurants that are vegan friendly, so if you have suggestions let us know!
