Vegan!

TRUTH: I am not a real princess. I do not even play one on TV. I do, however, look fabulous in a tiara and wear one while vacuuming.
DARE: I am daring myself to commit to being vegan in order to live out my goals of living with Compassion and Love and Peace.

My path to veganism began with going from pescatarian to vegetarian to flirting with full-blown vegan. I am of average weight and good health but with a family history of heart disease, breast cancer and diabetes. After a solid month of VEGAN! I am feeling empowered and strong and healthy.

It can still be challenging, though, playing detective and flushing out animal products from some favorite family foods. My youngest daughter happily asks if something is vegan while she is eating it, but a few hours later asks for McDonald's. Getting the family on board is easier with some planning and that is what I hope to bring to this blog: realistic family meals that nourish and satisfy but maintain my mantra "Eat Beauty."

Peace, love and veggies! Lor
