A vegan but not.

This is the link to the show that changed my life over the last threeish weeks. I fell asleep crying that night. I guess at this point nothing has drastically changed, but we are purchasing our dairy, eggs, and meat from Hansen Dairy OUtlet in Cedar FAlls, and I am in constant search of vegan pre-packaged food that will satisfy my need for junk food. Why vegan for the pre-packaged you ask? WEll, I am basically trying to boycott factory farming. If I don't know where the diary and meat came from, I try not to buy it. Unfotunately, a lot of the food I currently eat contains some type of animal by-product. I am currently eating what we have in the house now that is still non-vegan, and will replace with vegan munchies.

I am also having all my "lasts" of favorite foods. I just had OP breadsticks and ranch. I had high hopes that I would be able to make my own ranch and bring it in to the restaurant. I had researched several breadstick recipes finding them to be vegan. I was sure if I asked for no Parm on my OP breadsticks, I would be safe. Unfortunately, I have found they make their dough with eggs AND milk. DRAT! So, wednesday was my last meal of breadsticks at the OP:( Most who know me, know that is all I ever get at the OP. I even recently ate at TX Roadhouse without eating the rolls and cinn. butter. Can you believe it? ugh.

Ah well, other than eating out, all is going pretty well. I'm excited to go grocery shopping again now that I have found my accidentally vegan list of food. Google that phrase. It's pretty cool if you are a junk food junkie!

They have vegan cinnamon rolls that are to die for. Way better than The Roadhouse. ;)
