I've always been a meat/cheese/bread person regarding sandwiches. When I went to Subway, I'd get cucumbers as veggies, and that's it. My thought was very much along the lines of "if I want lettuce and tomato and onions, I'll order a stinking salad!"

Since I've cut meat and most animal products out of my diet, I haven't been to a Subway, until today. I got a sub with lettuce, tomato, pickle, spinach, and cucumbers, and no meat, and I actually enjoyed it!

It may seem silly, but that's a big deal for me- veggies have never belonged on a sandwich, and now they ARE the sandwich!

Kudos! That's awesome!

YAY! you'll find (IF you're like me) that your tastes change significantly and lots of (healthy) foods you never liked before you now LOVE!

i used to hate blueberries, apples, crunchy purple cabbage, etc. etc. and now those are staples in my diet

whoooooooot good on ya....yeps now i am living on mainly fruit and vege...i have meat about twice a week now...and i enjoy it on those days but i make sure i have my veges too..i have a huge old steamer that i use..i just cut up whatever i like and chuck her in...and wallah a nice plate of veges for tea!!...i sooo love salad too but i find the lettuce goes bad by the time i eat it all!!..lol..lol...cheers liz

Congrats

What do you use purple cabbage in? I like it but need some new ideas

hmmm i think purple cabbage is great in coleslaw if you like it...also steamed with a bit of apple and perhaps some onion???...is good for stir frys too i think!!...cheers liz

cool thanks for sharing I am newly vegan here and this gives me some ideas like I can make myself a veggie sandwich with some good mustard on it :O mm always can use new ideas. I'm doing a b12 supplement once a week right now but I'm wondering if maybe having a piece of fish once a week would be better? Like fish on friday sort of thing what are you all doing? Or maybe do both the supplement and the fish once a week? Just wondering what you all do I'm still kinda wary I'm going to get deficiencies lol.

Oh also I agree your tastes change I used to hate apples and they gave me a stomach ache too but now I love them and no longer get the stomach ache not sure what that was about. But yeah the healthy food just keeps tasting better and better and when I think of the old stuff I was eating its like yuck. Pretty weird how that works.
