When guests come in to town I often take them to at least one of my five favorite local ice cream shops.  Two of them are local dairy farms.  I honestly thought, on the first weekend we started eating plant based, ‘How am I going to give up ICE CREAM!’ and for that matter milkshakes, cheese, pizza, spanikopita, lasagna, whipped cream… oh the list goes on and I think I will miss those things.  Maybe I will indulge in them

So, we are halfway through the week.  I’ve been enjoying the meals I planned but I haven’t had a chance, until no, to post them here.  Many of these I modified, I am getting the hang of things and making this new way of eating our own. We are eating lots of snacks including fresh fruit, raw nuts, energy balls, power balls, hummus, carrot sticks, etc. Sunday      breakfast: Rip’s Big Bowl     dinner: Stir Fry Brocoli w/ Peanut
