Vegan (sort of) - Week 3

Week 3 appears to be our test of wills.

We started off ordering chicken wings and salads from Marco's.

Monday we found ourselves in the Wendy's drive thru.

Today was a bit better - tofurkey italian sausage, grits (unfortunately but deliciously with Kerrygold), toast with olive oil and jelly...but we also had shrimp on top of the grits and eggs.

I have to admit this week I've been much less motivated to cook than the last two weeks.  I'm just tired.  I had the plan to do teriyaki quinoa bowls (this will be tomorrow), we have a fridge full of carrots, celery, miso paste, seitan, watermelon, and I have some potatoes to cook...

But I don't want to prepare anything.  I'm not craving meat - in fact, I was very disappointed with the Wendy's (I'll admit the chicken wings were good but I was done after 6).  I keep thinking maybe we should try some of those prepared meals through a service - there are several around town plus there are a few that are advertising on Facebook.  Considering our food budget it may actually be worth the effort to not think about food and regroup.
