Can't think of a title
The food thing has been going pretty well the past few days. I'm considering myself right now a lacto-ovo vegetarian with vegan tendencies - I'm not going to beat myself up if I want some cheese on that pizza, but I'm going to actively buy non-animal based products, like almond milk and vegan pasta sauce. So it's working out for now.
For dinner tonight, I made some whole wheat pasta with said vegan pasta sauce and a side of steamed broccoli and cauliflower. The veggies kind of ended up tasting like feet, though - not sure where I went wrong there! I still ate them, but it was strange. Probably should've seasoned them better, or maybe they've just been in the freezer for too long. Bleh.
I'm going to be putting in an order on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week for some vegan cookbooks! YAY! Any recommendations? I think it'll be a lot easier for me to work with my own creations once I have a solid base in vegan cooking beneath me, and there's just something about cookbooks that I love anyways.
Definites on my list: Vegan with a Vengeance; The Peaceful Palate; and The Student's Go Vegan Cookbook. There are a couple of others that I'm eyeballing, too. There are so many good looking vegan cookbooks out there!
So, does anyone know of a coupon code for Amazon right now? ;)

The Student's Go Vegan Cookbook I reccomend, and Vegan with a Vengeance is a definite, but I do reccomend anything by Moosewood Restaurant, although their books tend to be on the expensive side. I also reccomend picking up a raw cookbook, even just a cheap one, even if you think that you'll never use it.

I saw a couple of Moosewood cookbooks at Books-a-Million tonight, although I didn't get a good look at them. I was too busy being saddened by how tiny their vegetarian/vegan section was. I hadn't thought about raw food books, either, but I guess that makes perfect sense!
