So, day 2. Not quite as easy. I made this "Quick Banana Breakfast to Go" this morning. It was good, but holy crap it was so sweet! Never, even when I ate weekly pieces of sugar-laden vanilla cake with big thick layers of frosting, have I found something so crazy sweet. I got about halfway through and I could barely take it anymore. Here are the ingredients: blueberries, bananas, rolled oats, pomegranite juice, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and currants. In looking at it, I think it's the pom juice that made it so crazy sweet. Maybe I'll just water it down next time. Regardless, after I ate it I got the same yucky going to throw up any second feeling I used to have the first trimester of pregnancy. Great. Then a couple hours later I had the most ridiculous craving for cheese. I seriously could think of nothing else. Might be because of the huge block of cheddar cheese that I bought for Ray yesterday...regardless it was hard morning.
Then lunch did make things a little better. I had a portobello-roasted red pepper pita. Something I honestly would have eaten before trying out this vegan thing. It was delicious. Definitely going to be a favorite. I also looked more closely at the recipes in the book and I found some that aren't quite as shockingly intense. I'm going to stick with the intense ones for the rest of the week because I already have the ingredients, but I think next week I'm going to incorporate some of the less intense ones too.
Baby is awake. More later...
