If you read my post on transitioning into a complete vegan diet you probably know that I've struggled a bit with the how to manage on an everyday basis.
Well, I'm proud to say that, although it's not yet perfection at its best, I'm getting there fairly quickly. I guess it's true what people say, practice makes perfect. and I've been practicing alright - planning balanced menus, trying recipes from about a million vegan and raw cookbooks that I've insanely bought in bulk, reading vegan blogs and baking more than the needed amount of cupcakes, muffins and cookies (well, a girl needs her sugar).
So although the learning process is far from over, I'm at a good place and loving every moment of it, feeling much much better, physically and conscientiously and the best benefit of it all is that I spend much more time cooking, which is one of my long time loves that has been neglected for some time.
The next step for me is to try to have a raw day each week and actually try to act as the photographer that I am and take photos of all the good meals that I make but until this happens you can enjoy a photo (found here) of my lovely, king like, cat, Mishmish.
I'd love to hear how all you vegans out there went through the transition and get some ideas, so let me know.

Congratulations! It really is a difficult transition. I didn't do enough research before plunging into veganism, so I was in and out for a few months consuming dairy products or egg products unknowingly. But with time, I learned the ingredients to avoid. Unfortunately I depended on fake veggie meats like soy burgers, sausages, etc. for too long. It wasn't until a few months ago that I learned how ridiculously unhealthy these are! Cooking is so much more fun anyway. =)
Congratulations again, it's a brave move to make. I wish you the best of luck.
