Going Vegan....

Dear Kara,

Love the braid secret! Braids looks so fresh and are a great summer go to.

Recently one of my NYC friends has gone Vegan and tonight I went out to dinner with her to a Vegan restaurant, V Note. To start we had pumpkin and squash gnocchi, followed by mushroom risotto and garlic spinach. Everything was honestly delish and by the end I was pleasantly full and not the least bit close to the uncomfortable full. We also drank a great organic pinot. It was really nice to have a meal at a restaurant and know that nothing was cooked with butter.

For a refresher (because I had to ask) vegan is nothing coming from an animal, so no dairy, meat, cheese, etc...

It has now been several weeks since my friend made the switch to vegan and I made her go over the changes she has noticed. She said that although she has worked out less she has still maintained her weight. She has noticed more energy than before.

While I know I can't give up my cheese, fish, or steak it was great to try something new.
