Hola, People. So today marks day two of my Vegan journey! All is well, and I am feeling pretty much the same. I'm not really missing meat, but I am missing things made with eggs and milk. Regardless, I am completely content with everything I have eaten today! If I didn't enjoy cooking and food so much, I might not be so happy right now. But all in all - things are going amazingly well! Here's a look at what I ate to today! Enjoy :)
