Super Yummy Very Berry Salad

After our weekly family bowling outing… I made some Very Berry Salad. My kids only wanted to eat the strawberries. LOL I also had some bing cherries on hand but I didn’t think that their flavor would compliment my berries, so those will have to go into something else OR just be eaten alone.

 

I’m happy that Albertson’s had all of the berries on sale too. So for about 6-8 servings (depends on what size dish used) I paid about $10! Awesome score. 🙂 

Inside the Very Berry Salad:
Blackberries (6oz.)
Blueberries (6oz.)
Raspberries (6oz.)
Strawberries (Not sure… added til I felt I had enough, LOL)
Topped w/ Turbindo Sugar

It was absolutely DELICIOUS! I took it to work with me for my break time snack because where I work they also sell food but isn’t nutritional at all. The girls on my team were  so JEALOUS! LOL

Happy Eating!

Welcome to My Journey!

Let start by saying thanks for stopping by my blog. The title says it all. I am ready to transition from vegetarianism to veganism which I’ll photo document because I LOVE photography as much as I love eating. LOL

I’d been on the semi-vegetarian (no pig or cow but still ate chicken, turkey and fish) path since 2002 but in August of 2008 is when my interests lead to cut out ALL animal flesh but I continue to eat products with eggs and dairy. I did cut out honey and gelatin. I will be celebrating my 2nd year as a full fledged non-animal flesh eater on August 2nd. Yay me!!

As I get ready to enter into my second year of vegetarianism, I’m noticing that I’m beginning to get adverted to things that contain eggs and dairy too. I guess it’s my body’s way of telling me that it’s time for me to go ahead and take the plunge and go VEGAN! I know this road won’t be easy considering I’m the only vegetarian in my house (I’m married with 4 children – 10, 7, 5 and 3) AND at work. They always look like I’m speaking a foreign language whenever I tell people I’m vegetarian and that I don’t eat animal. They automatically either think that I still eat fish/fowl or vegan.

I plan to begin my official journey on August 2nd, 2010… it’ll more than likely happen before then but that will be my official date.

At first thought that I would purchase a vegan cookbook but have since decided to just use my new iPhone app by VegWeb.com, I mean I have 13,000+ recipes at the tips of fingers. This should be REALLY fun not to mention educational to boot. So sit back and enjoy my journey as much as I will.
