I’ve never really taken seriously the tradition of making new year’s resolutions. However, I have a friend who is serious about her Resolutions. And this year she called me, all excited, to tell me about her idea:
After reading my post, Help for Omnivores interested in Veganism, she decided that one day a week, she’s going to be a vegan. Obviously, her news made me super-happy. But it also got me thinking…
Vegan Thursdays
You can make this challenge whatever you want.
It doesn’t mean you have to have a whole vegan day. It could mean trying just one vegan meal or snack that day. Or maybe not even a whole meal; maybe you just want to try a new vegan recipe or main dish. It doesn’t even need to be gourmet; pasta with tomato sauce is vegan, as are bean burritos, fruit salads… and you can find lots more Vegan Recipe Ideas..
For someone like me, maybe Vegan Thursdays can mean trying out a new vegan recipe (as opposed to something in our usual repertoire) or a new food. Maybe you’re a vegan who’s always been afraid to try seitan, for example.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it…
I’m going to start this coming Thursday. Anyone want to join me? You don’t have to participate every Thursday. Like I said, you can make this challenge what you want it to be. 🙂
Sounds fun Katie – it will be fun to see all the new and yummy recipes! 🙂
This idea sounds wonderful! I’d try to convince my family to do it with me (since we eat dinner together), but they’re stern omnivores. Like, total anti-vegetarian, and my mom yells at me if I don’t eat meat. 🙁 I’ll try to be vegan up until lunch, though! 🙂
I’m going to try it! I get very excited when I think back about a meal I’ve eaten and realized Oh, that was all vegan!! I’m sure I can be more intentional about that. 🙂
Awesome idea Katie!! Since I’m vegan too, I’ll try your idea of doing a new vegan food..hum…got to get thinking ’bout that!
Oooh I’m in, I’m in. I did raw wednesday for while, and now I’m looking forward toto vegan thursdays, hooray!
24/7 Vegan over here so yeah, I’m in hon 🙂
I love ideas like that. I do things similar just to give myself little goals. I like to do raw before dinner days too. Thanks for another great idea to incorporate!
xo,
Abby
I’m totally in!!
I am in! I’ve found that since I’m making less money now, I’ve been eating vegan more frequently 🙂
I’m going to be an overachiever and eat vegan everyday 😉
great idea! I will TRY my best to do this 🙂
I’m up for some vegan love every Thursday. 🙂
Great idea! I already make two of my three meals vegan every day, so maybe on Thursdays I’ll go for all three!
I definitely want to join! Ive been toying with the idea of vegan for a while, Im already a veggie, but giving up my fage & all yogurt actually is just so hard, everything else I dont find a problem with tho.
Should be fun!
This is a great idea! Since I already eat my FAIR SHARE of veggies and raw food, stay away from dairy and whatnot.. I think what I’ll do is try and make a vegan recipe! Like an actual sit down, follow a recipe, type of recipe. 🙂 hehe
What a great idea! I’m all up for expanding one’s culinary horizons, and I am sure lots of foodies will join your Vegan Thursdays challenge. Three thumbs up! Hey! Whose thumb was that?!
There is a sort of challenge brewing up at my blog too, though it’s not all sorted out yet. Oooh mysterious! 😛
