So What Can You Eat?

I've been getting this question a lot lately. Telling people about our diet change has spurred a lot of funny looks, and a lot of "Good Luck" and "You're Crazy" comments, but mostly the question of "So what can you eat?"

Our goal this trimester was to be vegan (not for political reasons, mind you - we've gotten that comment, too) and it hasn't been too bad. I have a freezer full of meat that I can't use, but I feel pretty good. We have also been (mostly) gluten free because my son has to be, and we've set aside Friday afternoon as the only day we eat any sugar, and not much even then. Reading over that, I guess I would ask the same question: What can you eat? Salad. :)

It has only been a week, and I had a few easily-modifiable vegetarian recipes, so we haven't had to be too adventurous yet. Actually, I have a friend who is doing this as well, but she's been at it for almost a month now. She's keeping a blog of the meals (and recipes) she eats, so I'm kind of going to let her do the grunt work for me and use the stuff from her blog that sounds good. I'll keep you posted.
