One Year.

I am happy to announce that I have been vegan for a year. Last year I went vegan the last week of school before finals. Which currently, I just finished the week before finals.


I did not do anything special for my anniversary other than make a batch of chocolate-chip muffins, using a recipe I found on VegWeb. It was a good recipe for me to use as I got rid of a lot of ingredients that have to go before I leave for India (flour, chocolate chips, apple sauce, vegan margarine...). They took less than 10 minutes to prepare and get into the oven, and barely any clean up. So that is what I call a happy celebration.

I cannot wait to have more anniversaries and know that my choice to become fully vegan after being vegetarian for almost half my life was necessary and has helped me feel a lot more complete and empowered. I have found myself wanting to work harder for the cause of animal rights and bond further with like-minded folks.

Happy Veganism!

Congrats for being vegan for a year. I am also working at being vegan. It can be hard to catch everything but its worth it :)

Ooh, they sure look tasty!
Thank you for the food recommendations in Chicago! I was thinking about checking out Amitabul! Mmm, Kimchi.
I tend to have a "no falafel" rule when I only have a few days in a city, but I'll consider it!

Congrats sweetie :) I have a blog here: now weetzie.net if you want to read it... I'm trying to be a vegan still. Everything's good it's just hard to cook because I always only have 30 min to cook it. I had some macaroni and "chreese" today but I didn't cook it right and it was gross ;(

I'm hogging your comments I should just write an entry :p
