Amazing, Delicious VEGAN Pancakes!

The title says it all. This morning after getting my older two kids off to their first day of school (5th & 2nd grades) and taking my younger boy to the doctor for his  Kindergarten physical, I decided to try my hand at making totally vegan pancakes. They came out AMAZING thanks to VegWeb and user staciejaye‘s recipe, Best Tasting Pancakes Ever! Vegan or Otherwise.

While I did cut all of the ingredients in half (original recipe below) to make a batch small enough for one person, it still came out DELICIOUS! My pancakes tasted BETTER than any store bought, straight out of the box mix. The pancakes came out super fluffy, moist and smelled GREAT! I’ll now indulge myself with a pancake breakfast once a week. 🙂

Now what to eat the other 6 days of the week? LOL 😉

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.
