Happy Valentines Day

So, my biggest concern about this whole veggie thing is that everything would taste like soy milk- Kind of bland and card-boardy. And I just don't think that eating raw veggies constantly for each and every meal sounds that appealing (yet).

 So, tonight, for Valentine's Day, and because I was having a really hard time motivating myself to actually cook a veggie meal, my husband made dinner. Now, I already know that he's a great cook. He usually just throws stuff together and its awesome. Tonight, he had to actually follow a recipe cause I told him that's what I wanted him to cook. He made this awesome eggplant parm from http://blog.fatfreevegan.com that was awesome! I would actually make this for non-veggies. Now, its not dripping with melted cheesy goodness, but, it I actually didn't miss it because the "cheese" mixture actually tasted pretty close to the real thing. No soy weirdness or bland monotaste. Who knew nutritional yeast and soy could be so tasty? Plus, I felt healthy and strong afterwards, not greasy and oily. I"m actually starting to think that maybe I don't NEED cheese. All in all, a success.

 Tomorrow, I head back to work- We'll see if I can resist the temptations of the "candy drawer." I"m a sucker for sweetarts and snickers when there's no lunch in sight or things are boring or stressful.
