Midwest USA

I'm from the Midwest....Wisconsin to be exact, (insert cheese joke here_______________) so of course, I visit there ALOT, too much actually. Being a Vegan/Vegetarian it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to eat here! To all restaurants in the area....INVEST IN SOME VEGGIE PATTIES!!! Seriously, I can't be the ONLY person that eats good, or wants to. Call your suppliers and order a box of "Gardenburgers" that little investment will easily pay off! Change a few little things on your menu, and I promise it will pay off, added customers never hurt business....right?

Today is the day

I'm officially done with all dairy and eggs. But I'm not calling myself a 100% Vegan quiet yet. I don't eat ANY meat, poultry, or fish....no dairy or eggs, but does that make me a Vegan? I've become a HUGE label reader, making sure there's no dairy or egg stuff in the ingredients...maybe I'm a bit confused...hehe. I'm ready for this change though. Been asked why the additional change in diet...well, honestly? I felt like a hypocrite when eating eggs and not eating chicken. Plus eggs are unhealthy!
Last night was my last "meal" containing dairy...I went out in style...Taco Bell ( no meat of course!!)

I assure you....MANY more tales to come...................

Eggs.

I think the biggest reason I haven't quite switched over all the way to Vegan is because of the egg. Everybody loves eggs, right? One of my very favorite meals has always been, breakfast burritos. I cook the potatoes, onions, peppers....add in the eggs.....stuff a tortilla, and PRESTO!! Since becoming a Vegetarian 3 years ago, I made sure to eat cage free,organic, blah, blah, blah.......
Well recently I came across a recipe for Tofu scramble, well hell I happen to have, firm tofu in my fridge! So I cut it up into small pieces then break it up with my fingers (as instructed) and while still using my potato concoction, I add the Tofu in place of the eggs. WOW who would have thought that I can have the same favorite breakfast meal I love sooo much, without the chaos of the egg mixture?! Yum.

Needless to say....I've eaten my very last egg....ever.
I will be a full time VEGAN starting Feb 1st.

So yeah....

Like my intro says.....I'm a proud Vegetarian and I'm about to switch over to all Vegan. I'm also a VERY devoted, tattooed Metal head. This blog with contain elements from both worlds.... General entries, recipes, music talk,links to websites I enjoy...etc. I may have issues with properly structuring a sentence at times, but I try hard.

Might not always be pretty, but always honest, and slightly in your face. So PLEASE comment and follow me!

And yes....the Blog title is a direct play on an Iron Maiden song....only the best band ever...right??
