VEEEEEGAN
*shudder*
I wanted no part of it. So, I set off on a quest to create my own version of the gluten-free dairy-free diet. In doing so however, I realized something... Something profound.
Someone ELSE had already done this ground work for me. In fact, many someone elses had. There were countless gluten-free and vegan cooking blogs with hundreds of recipes. And you know something else? Nowhere in those recipes did I find a food item that I didn't already eat.
Newsflash people.
Vegetables are Vegan.
Potatoes are Vegan.
Fruit is Vegan.
Peanut Butter is Vegan.
Fruity Pebbles are Vegan.
Even your water is Vegan!
I know... came as a shock to me as well but I have to say I was fairly relieved to learn that there were no animal by-products in my Smart Water.
Being Vegan is a lifestyle choice for some, but for others like me, its an opportunity to learn how to spice up my veggies and non-gluten grain dishes. And you know something, by default a lot of what I'm finding is actually healthier for me.
So here's what I say to all of the naysayers out there. I don't care if you refuse to try my vegan chocolate chip peanut butter cookies.
Cause you know what? That just leaves more for me.
You can find this recipe at Elana's Pantry. Added Trader Joes semi-sweet chocolate chips. Dairy-free of course. :)
