We’re all about plants this week

It’s raining outside (of course!), so I thought I’d post a picture from last week of the beautiful pink and white flowering trees blooming all over the park. Spring is on its way and I love it. Hope you all stay cozy and warm today. I am trying to psych myself up to go run in the rain. Now that’s dedication.

We’re going vegan this week. Dairy products are so expensive and, while I totally love them, I do think they are meant for fattening up baby animals (cows, sheep, goats) rather than feeding grown people. So we’re having a bit of a change just for a week or two. I’m curious to see if we’ll feel any differently. Last night I made a phenomenal (if I do say so myself) coconut curried vegetable dish. I used fresh spices and they worked so well that we’ve decided to through out those curry pastes in the fridge! Who cares if they save time, obviously they are more processed and they sure don’t taste as good. Anyhow, I have a bunch of cookbooks that I’ve been combing through: vegan ones, Thai ones, vegetarian ones, and I think we’re going to eat really well this week. At least, I hope so!

Please let me know if you have any great vegan recipes and remember we’re also allergic to gluten and tomatoes! (I know, we are so complicated!)
