These were both adapted form Skinny Bitch cookbook, which has become one of my all-time favorites. I would say my favorite, since i haven’t come across a book that has deserved THAT title, but definately in the top 10…..and I have gone through a ton of cookbooks. The Chef LOVED the soup. The sloppy joes….not so much. They served their purpose though, and were actually pretty decent.
And with the vegan month coming to an end, I can honestly say that I really don’t miss meat. I miss eggs, butter, and milk as ingredients. They are simply easier to find and use. I don’t think I will be going back to milk. And I used butter sparingly anyways. As for the egg, that’s a keeper. Sorry, to all my new vegan friends.

I'm going to make that soup this weekend. The hubs loves Thai coconut soup and tofu. How lucky did I get, that my partner in crime is open to veggie cooking? Side note: How did you decide to go vegan for a month?
I decided to go vegan just because of my husbands job and my love for food. There are so many people who eat vegan (we did raw too), and I wanted to know their experiences. I like trying new things. Keeps it fun.
Plus I was hoping i would lose that last 5 pounds…I lost 1.5, my husband lost about 10x that amount.
