Several years ago Hana came to me expressing her desire to become a vegan. She was rather articulate when presenting her case and we allowed her the opportunity to try it out. She stayed away from the meat, eggs, and dairy, but we were concerned that she was not getting enough of the nutrients a growing girl needs. I am not sure exactly what happened, but one day Hana returned home telling us that she was going to stop being a vegan. Inside I was acutally happy. We affectionately refer to the early period of Hana's veganism as her becoming a "crap"eterian. She needed to branch out and embrace diverse plant based foods. I think maybe a teens idea of branching out is trying french fries from various eateries. Hana retuned to me maybe a month ago requesting to try vegan again. In an attempt to help her navigate this time, I am going Vegan for the month of January. Tuesdays will be my day to talk all things food on the blog. I will leave you with an amazing spaghetti squash lo mein that Angie, from work, suggested I try. Not only was it super simple, it was also incredilby tasty!
