One Month!

Welp, we've officially reached the one month mark! How's it going? While the rest of the country is gearing up to binge on cheese curds and mini hot dogs today, I'm thinking about the smoothie I'm gonna have here in a minute. I think that's good! Not that I've ever really celebrated the Super Bowl in the first place but I can't deny that it's good excuse to order more pizza than usual.

I made a trip to our local food pantry on Friday to get rid of food that been lying around since August that Joe and I will never touch. While Joe is still eating meat and eggs and whatnot, he's really trying to cut down on sugar/processed food in general. So that meant he wasn't going to eat all the chocolate my dance kids gave me for Christmas. Remember that big bag of cheddar? Donated that. This food pantry is awesome in that they can find a use for everything. I feel like pantries I've dealt with before only take non-perishable foods, which is why I didn't consider donating earlier. They even took my rando stick of butter!

I made hummus this week! I subbed a dab o' PB for tahini because what the hell is tahini (it's ground sesame seeds) and it turned out pretty good! Considering a can of chickpeas is $.69 at Aldi, I think I'll be making it again.

We did our grocery shopping yesterday. It was a little more expensive than usual because I bought some things I don't by every week, like Ezekial bread and a big-ass jar of PB. The stores were really busy in anticipation of the Super Bowl and the snow storm that's happening today. Avocados and carrots were $.49 at Aldi!!! Wooooohooo. Snacks for days. I find it always pays to stop at Aldi first.

Anyway, I'm still really excited about veganism and don't feel burned out at all. I feel like I'm learning something new every day and it's been a lot of fun figuring out new meals to try. Here's to February!
