Angela,
Just discovered your blog today via a friend. I am so thankful to have found you! I just read a book about becoming vegan over Christmas, and I have been totally convicted about the health benefits. But I need help!!! It's been almost 2 weeks around here without meat. Good 'ole mom needs to come up with some new recipes fast because I think the natives (husband and two little boys) are starting to get restless! Thanks for the ideas!
Jenny,
Thanks for commenting! The beginning is hard--you are changing life-long eating and cooking habits. But hooray for getting to the two week mark!! It gets easier, I promise! Have you ever tried vegetarianism or veganism before? The best advice I could offer is find a vegan cookbook that you connect with--uses ingredients you like and know, feels comfortable and not too foreign. That will be a lifesaver until you feel comfortable branching out on your own. I obsessively love Veganomicon and Vegan with a Vengeance.
I hope you keep reading and let us know your experience!

Just found your blog this morning and wanted to try the muffins. I didn't have apples in the house, but proceeded anyway. They are in the oven as I type. Hope it works...Maple Oatmeal Muffins. What do you think?
Cheers!
