The day it all started...

So many people dont understand why i decided to become a vegan... The basic reason why it all started, it because I love animals!

When i was a little girl, my dad didnt eat much meat, just some fish here and there, so there was never really any meat in the house. I was brought up eating tofu, and soy, and drinking alot of soy milk. Because of this I always liked the taste of all this.

When i was 9 years old i decided it was time to cut out the rest of the meat... and with alot of fuss from my mum, i succeeded in cutting it out. I felt good giving back to the animal community by not eating them...

This wasnt far enough for me though... i wanted to do more for them! I decided to cut out everything... milk, eggs, cheese, yogurt.. no leather, no wool.. noooooothing!!! When i was 14 years old i decided to take the plunge! I am now 19, and still proud to be a vegan!!

It can be difficult to be a vegan, and there are so many amazing recipes to be tried!

I am going to be blogging about the different recipes i have tried, the meals i have tried in restaurants, and the difficulties i come across!

ENJOY :) <3
