46/365 Vegan Pizza

People are always curious when they first find out that my husband and I are vegans; they always want to know why we eat this way, what types of things we eat, and whether it's hard cook this way.  In answer to the first question, we became vegan about four or five months ago because of health reasons.  Regarding the second question, we eat all sorts of things, just like anyone else.  The only difference is that everything is plant-based.  The short answer is that our diet consists of all sorts of whole grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, seeds, nut milks and nut butters.  It may sound limiting at first, but the possibilities really are endless.  It does take some getting used to, but no, it's not hard to eat like this.  We had to make the transition rather suddenly but my favourite vegan cookbook, One Thousand Vegan Recipes, made the change a lot easier.  A good cookbook is definitely a big help.  A lot of our old favourites can be altered to easily fit into our new diet, like the vegan pizza we had for dinner today.
