I have a little vegan game I like to play- it's called
"show the world how easy it is to avoid animal products." I get a certain sense of pride when friends I have dined with several times don't find out I'm vegan until much later. It helps banish one of the many stereotypes tied to the way I choose to eat.
As a vegan there are only about two places I have trouble getting a good meal: bars full of fried food and little diners who have never heard the word vegan before. Every time I visit my grandparents we visit one of those diners. I usually order an unsatisfying salad and they think I eat that way all the time.
Recently I started getting creative! I ordered a wheat sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, sliced almonds and ketchup. I also got a side of fruit. Feel free to get creative when ordering out!!
I was home visiting family to celebrate my mom's and brother's birthdays. (Happy birthday guys!!) Never one to miss out on dessert, I made sure to pick up Purely Decadent in Mocha Almond Fudge.
Who says vegans are missing out on anything?!
