Things I've Learned

There's lots of stuff I've learned since becoming vegan.  Like how to bake without eggs, for example. 

One of the cool things I've really enjoyed about becoming vegan is the chance I've had to try lots of new (and retry old!) vegetables.

I've found:
-I really like leeks
-Brussel sprouts are actually pretty awesome
-I still don't like avocados, no matter how much I want to
-Sweet potatoes aren't my favorite, but I can manage to eat them in a few things as long as they're mixed in with other vegetables/sauce
-I still don't like mustard.  At all.
-Beets are growing on me.  I like them, but I can't eat them everyday or anything.  Once a week is probably my limit.
-I still don't like grits.  Never did.  I'm very tempted to put this into the "never will" category.
-I still don't drink glasses of milk
-Speaking of milk, I think unsweetened almond milk is my favorite, although I like the other kinds, too (soy, hemp, rice, coconut, etc).  Of course I'm a fan of the light chocolate soy milk!  :)
-Dates are awesome to bake with!  So delicious!
-Nuts are actually growing on me...I can eat them in stuff now instead of just on their own.  I like them in muffins and SOME cookies now (sorry Ju!), but definitely not in brownies or chocolate chip cookies or things like that.
-I like cabbage
-Carrots are still one of my favorite veggies
-Cauliflower is also a pretty useful veggie in vegan meals

I'm sure you were lying awake at night wondering which veggies I've found I like, so here you go - you're welcome!  :)
