In the seven months that I’ve been vegan, I’ve cooked more meals from scratch than I have in the 21 years I’ve been alive and I’m so proud damn it lol. The transition for me is so crazy since before I’d probably cook my own meals twice a month a now I do literally every other day… but sometimes it fuckin sucks man. I’ll spend a third of my paycheck at the Farmers’ Market just to waste half of it experimenting and making up for the failed experiment with ONE BABY ASS MEAL. Then sometimes I wouldn’t even eat at all because I just completely fucked up. I’ve cried so many times because of it. Just today, I came so close to crying again. It really gets that frustrating. I never imagined going through all of what I have by switching my diet, but honestly every last bit of it is so worth it. It’s been so affective on a personal level, in aspects I couldn’t have even predicted like self forgiveness, patience, determination, will power and so much more. There would be times where I’d give into temptation and I’d have so much trouble dealing with the guilt that it was really difficult forgiving myself just because I felt like a failure to myself, a failure to the animals I was choosing this lifestyle for, or that I simply wasn’t being true to whom I say I am. But at some point I realized I’m more than my mistakes and I can simply try again and harder next time because I believe in something bigger and I had to keep fighting to make that difference and change in my life and those animals who don’t get a say in theirs. Anyways, I didn’t expect this to go that deep lol it was just supposed to be four pics of some homemade vegan meals and maybe I’d give the recipes if I felt like typing it up, then I’d say how tasty they are but I just had to get extra and passionate and shit per usual lmao. but okay, these are probably the best four things I’ve made,

Top Left: Veggie Pizza (best of all 4) ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️ made with pita bread. I puréed some tomatoes and added garlic, onions, herbs, and some random seasonings to make a sauce then I topped it with yellow, red and green peppers, mushrooms, brown and red onions, then sprinkled some Oregano, basil, parsley flakes and red peppers and heated it.

Top Right: Veggie Burger made with wheat bread, veggie patty with pumpkin seeds, dairy free cheese (not that great) grilled onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and homemade In-n-out spread.

Bottom Left: Veggie Pasta made with garlic and olive oil, red and yellow peppers, zucchini, broccoli, mushrooms, and red onions. blended and seasoned half an avocado to use as a creamy sauce
