Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my blog. My name is Amy, I am a Professional Dog Trainer & Behavior specialist, a Wife, and a mother to a baby girl. Hobbies include; Spending time with Hubby, Daughter, dogs, training, camping, rafting, snowboarding, wakeboarding, hiking, biking, walking, reading, computer, blogging, writing, making websites, programing, swimming, boating, having fun, and much more!

My Hubby & I recently watched 'Forks over Knives' on Netflix. It was very informative and eye opening on what animal meat is doing to our bodies and had some amazing studies. If you haven't watched it, check it out! So we decided to give a Vegan diet a try. We both love meat, dairy, and all the non-vegan foods, so this could be easier said than done!

I am just getting serious about this today, so I figured I'd start a blog to take you all through our Journey of going Vegan. My goal is to try it for a month and see if we will continue or not at the end of the month. Actually, I'll probably do 2 months since I'll get a new cookbook called Vegan on the Cheap: Great Recipes and Simple Strategies that Save You Time and Money. It said it would arrive between the 18th and August 2nd. So we'll need plenty of time to try out all of their recipes!

I found two helpful blogs, Well Vegan & I Eat Trees to help me out through the process. On the 'Well Vegan' blog I found 5 recipes to give a try next week. We will try grocery shopping this weekend and start out Vegan eating on Monday.

I am excited to try this, though I know I'll still have cravings and such for my normal eating habits, but if I do cave, I'll jump right back on track. A little here and there shouldn't do too much damage.

I've made a special 'Vegan' bookmark folder to bookmark blogs, recipes, and any other helpful advise I find on the internet. This way I can find it nice and quick!

Next week's recipes include;

Wish us luck!
