This challenge is not just a vegan challenge. I actually don't think that the vegan part's going to be... well, challenging. It's more of a natural food challenge.
NO processed sugar. NO processed (packaged) food. NO meat. NO animal products.
I love cake. I love cupcakes. I love chocolate cake, carrot cake, red velvet cake. I love pepperoni Combos and Salt and Vinegar potato chips. By the way, this blog will be a recipe blog and will contain stories and reviews of the food I eat and buy... but it will probably be a complaint blog, with some food porn (in memoriam, really).
I really hope to learn more about veggies and spices and try some new things. Today, although it's officially not the first day of the challenge (as evidenced by the 4 slices of cinnamon raisin bread I ate when I woke up), I will make something new for a party I'm attending this afternoon:
Fennel Salad with Roasted Chickpeas
Recipe will be forthcoming. I've never eaten fennel, but it tastes fun, so I'll try it. It's a real risk to make something completely new for widespread consumption, but hey, what's life without some risk? It could be great.
