Vegan Meal #1

I was at the store last night in need of something for dinner and decided since we were planning to start our Vegan diet on Monday, I might as well start now. So I grabbed some rice, black beans, a sweet potato, some asparagus, parsley, a mixed bag of frozen Broccoli & Cauliflower, and a mixed bag of corn, peas, green beans, lima beans, and carrots.

I cooked the rice, beans, and sweet potato as I normally would. I cut the asparagus, some onion that I had, and a tomato I had on hand. I warmed up the skillet with some Olive Oil in it and a little bit of a Dry White Wine, then threw in the Asparagus stalks. I let them cook for a minute, then I threw in the frozen veggies. Once the frozen veggies were about ready, I threw in the Asparagus tops, onion, & tomato. I cooked it all until it was ready, then I snipped parsley over the top of the veggies and cooked it for about another minute.

You can see in the picture above how I put it on my plate.

I didn't use any seasonings, salt, or butter in or on anything. I thought it taste wonderful! So many flavors and something I'll definitely do again. Only thing I wish I would have added was a bit of minced garlic to the veggies.

I have an extremely sensitive stomach that most food makes me feel sick, and after eating this I felt Great! It was also very colorful and had a bit of every color in it. An excellent first Vegan meal!

Hubby & I have decided to start this way of eating slowly, so we aren't going to take everything out of our way of eating right away. Right now we are getting rid of meat at dinner time, and switching to Soy milk. We'll cut more out as we go.
