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. 🙂
you’re so prettttyyy! i used to be vegan, and still mostly eat vegan. i’ll definitely give vegan thursdays a spin (if i remember!!) so cool about your friend 🙂
FUN! I will give it a shot, at least for me 🙂
I love this! One of my goals this year is to go at least one full week eating a vegetarian diet. But, this is a great idea too! I am definitely going to join in!
I’m in!
yay for vegan Thursdays! I will be participating…every day. But I’ll try to get my family in on it 🙂
Hey Katie, I love your challenge! I needed to up the ante from “meatless Mondays” so I am already doing HRV…”high raw/vegan” mondays.
and for good measure I thru in Raw Saturdays for this year.
I am super excited and I love that you are encouraging folks to try new things!
I’m on board but mine will just be what I started already! I’m with you in spirit! (just on diff. day)
xo
Happy Tuesday
Vegan Thursdays are a fabulous idea…if I wasn’t intolerant to almost every food on the planet I would most certainly be participating…but unfortunately I think I already eat every food I can tolerate. Hmm, perhaps a mission is in order to find even one which I haven’t. Acorn squash for example…
Thank you so much for your cold weather running post! I’m so sorry I’m so late in thanking you but I’ve been trying to set up a new blog and I’m ridiculously behind on commenting.

I like this! Any reason to try out new foods and new recipes works for me. I’ll have to come up with something good to try this Thursday!
I eat alot of vegetarian/vegan meals. I’ll go vegan for a Thursday!
I’m in for sure. I have been debating the last few weeks on going vegan for a month trial run. My downfall is fish, because I love it. It’s going to be challenging, but I can work in at least one vegan day each week.
