For anyone who hasn’t heard: You should hop on over to happyfoody and sign up for her 30-day Green Smoothie Challenge. It starts today, so you’re not behind! And hey, join the yahoo group while you’re at it 😉
My smoothie today was banana, orange, strawberry, and spinach. It was super yummy, and my dh (who makes faces at my green smoothies) was impressed. He seems to like all of the ones that have strawberry in them, because then they aren’t actually green. It just looks like a regular ol’ smoothie.

Tonight was the Veganize It! Mac and Cheese, and it was really good. My family is not a fan of “fake” meals, so I did not bill it as “Mac and Cheese”. I just said that it was a new pasta dish. My kids, who are not fans of potatoes, carrots, cashews, or onions, ate it up! Its a miracle! LOL. The sauce came out very creamy, and it looks just like cheese made from cow’s milk. It doesn’t really taste too much like cheese, but it tastes good, so who cares? I put a little extra garlic in there. We really like garlic though.
“Steak” Sub
I was browsing around on the Little Turtle Knits blog yesterday, and saw that she was cooking the Marlboro Man Sandwich from Pioneer Woman. It looked so good, but so full of terrible things. I decided to try to make a meat-free version. I did everything the same, but I used a veggie burger that I sliced into pieces. It is so good!
Leaf
My husband knows the way to my heart! He did all sorts of sweet things today, like hiding vegan chocolate around the house, and taking me to a vegetarian restaurant for lunch. He’s so great.
We went to Leaf Restaurant, and it was killer. I ordered the Jamaican Jerk Tempeh, and it was so very good (and beautiful, lol). I had never tried tempeh before, and I had been a little nervous to try preparing it. Now I know what good tempeh tastes like, so I’ll know if the stuff that I make at home sucks. 😉
Here’s my beautiful (vegan) lunch. You can click it for the giant version. We finished it off with a vegan chocolate raspberry cake. Mmmm. Heaven!
