When we're good, we're good

Despite our weekend struggles with meat, dairy, and junk food, we are killing it as work-week vegans.  Last night we made a soup called "Green Goddess", and I'm still worshiping her today.

Even the kids, armed with a standby of mac and cheese (real cheese) ate this soup and loved it. 

It's made from a bag of frozen spinach, bean sprouts, an avocado, onions, garlic, silken tofu, almond milk, vegetable bouillon and a dash of nutmeg.  You cook it and you puree it.  Then you put it in your face and make weird but loving sounds as you eat it.  Then you will want the world to eat it.  It's got a proselytizing effect.

But is it hard during the week?  Do I miss meat?  Do I miss cheese?  Only starting Friday night.  Maybe it's because we cook all of our meals through the week.  Maybe it's because we have gotten into a really good routine of planning our menus in advance, but it's working like a charm.  We're generally happy eating vegan recipes, and we're motivated to get healthier and leaner.
