As I prepare for my 60 day vegan journey these are a few ideas I came up with to keep me interested and on the right path.

When there is no challenge or any excitement when approaching anything, it is hard for one to stay focused. I like to challenge myself weekly to try something different in hopes of finding alternatives that will keep me devoted to what’s ahead of me. I am aware that becoming a vegan is a challenge, people will have their doubts and question your decisions but when it’s all said and done….you have to ask yourself who are you living life for? When is the last time you've done something for yourself? When is the last time you've done something worth being proud of? While others may think I’m crazy, I just can’t shake the feeling of gravitation!

Here's a few recipes that have become my favorites thus far, Enjoy!
