Making the switch

 I hope everyone had a splendid weekend, I know I sure did! It was mostly full of relaxation time, and time spent cozied up in my bed watching movies........ SNUGGLE SESH! This girl right here knows how to snug! :)

     I recently have made a huge change in my life, in regards to my eating habits. I've never been an unhealthy gal, but I have felt I was not only undereducated about what I was putting in my mouth, but extremely naaive as well. While making the change as a "newbie" vegan, it really has been a cinch! While I spend more time in the kitchen preparing meals, I find that I am understanding more and more about the contents of what I am really eating.
     Veganism is a type of vegetarian diet that excludes meat, eggs, dairy products and all other animal-derived ingredients. Many vegans also do not eat foods that are processed using animal products, such as refined white sugar and some wines. Most vegans also avoid the use of all products tested on animals, as well as animal-derived non-food products, such as leather, fur and wool.Vegan refers to either a person who follows this way of eating, or to the diet itself.

   While some might say my switch is looked at as a "fad" or "trend", I don't believe it is for anyone to judge. This decision was based off of nothing more than a personal decision to be an animal activist. My education has also convinced my mama to cut out any animal products too! I am continually receiving text messages or e-mails from her, with recipe ideas or meals she made for the family.

If you're looking for more information on Veganism, or simply wish to give it a try, I've listed a few of my favorite websites below filled with information, and tasty recipe ideas.
