Today I made the yummiest chickpea dish ever called Chana Masala. I had a recipe for it in my copy of Yellow Rose Recipes but the ingredients looked too complicated to me. Instead, I went on vegweb to look for a much simpler version. I'm glad I did because it came out so delicious! It was so good that I actually looked forward to eating the leftovers the next day which isn't always the case with everything I make.In other news...
Today marks my one year Veggie-aniversary. On May 6th of last year, I made the switch over to the meat-free lifestyle. I remember walking down to the end of the year AWANA (a children's ministry at church I volunteer at) carnival with my dad and asking him what he'd think if I decided to become a vegetarian. He was like, "Go for it!" which is very unlikely for my dad to say to something like that. I felt so encouraged and happy that the second I got home, I ordered a tank top with the word "Vegetarian" on it. I still have that shirt but I don't wear it that often because I don't want it to get dirty ;)
In August of this year, it'll be my one year Veganiversary so I'm excited!

Congratulations! That is really amazing! I have been veg for almost a week now, and feeling great. I'm actually hoping to go vegan sometime in the near future.
I also have a quick question:What are you favorite veg/vegan cookbooks?? On Saturday I went to borders looking for a veg/vegan cookbook, but the veg/vegan section was a little overwhelming! I decided to get a few opinions first.
Thanks and congrats!
Yay for one year of meat-free living!! DId you get out the tank and wear it today?

Congratulations!! I'm glad your dad encouraged you. I find it so sad to see that many parents don't allow their children to make this decision on their own and practically force them to eat meat =(
Congratulations!
