Why Here? Why Now?

First of all, let me explain my reasons for starting this blog. I have been considering blogging for a LONG time now but just couldn't figure out where to start and exactly what I am trying to accomplish. Let me start by saying I am not trying to convert everyone to veganism (if that's a word)...just trying to show that vegan meals can be just as delicious or even more so than the standard dishes people are so used to eating.
Our Journey started about a year ago when we all went to eating most meals without meat. We would rarely but occasionally eat natural or organic chicken or seafood so we couldn't really claim to be vegetarians. For those of you that know me, you know I was a vegetarian once for about 5 years anyway. This way of eating was no big deal for me at all! Vegan, on the other hand, I never really thought I could do that but so much has changed now. We have recently made the decision to go completely vegan (well the kids do occassionally have some dairy products)! So far I am loving it! Although, it is still somewhat new, it is amazing how much better you feel when you fill your body with amazing plant-based foods!

I will try to get some of our favorite recipes posted soon!
