Being vegan is really not that difficult!
Contrary to popular belief, there are so many foods out there that are vegan. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are vegan. Pasta with tomato and basil sauce is vegan. Twizzlers are vegan. Are there really any more important foods out there?!
And you can easily make your favorite foods with a little variation. For example, you can buy vegan chocolate chips at Whole Foods, get an egg replacer, and make any of your favorite baked goods.
One of my favorite, very easy dinners is stir fry. On nights where I don't want to cook anything, I just throw some frozen stir fry veggies into a pan with some canola oil, cut up some extra firm tofu and throw that in too. Then add soy sauce and cook for about 5 minutes. Dish it up with rice or soba noodles and put some peanut sauce on top for some spice, and you've got an extremely easy and healthy dinner that the whole family will love. Even my 7 year-old loves tofu when it tastes like soy sauce.
So if you're afraid to go vegan because you'll be cooking your fingers to the bone every day, take heart! While you'll want to develop a repertoire of favorite recipes for balanced nutrition, many of them can be quick and easy.
Try some stir fry tonight!
