If you've ever clicked on my other blog, you know I'm a Jesus follower. So no, I'm not converting to a different religion or even another denomination. What I'm hoping to convert is my family...and honestly, finish converting myself.
I'm still really struggling with the complete elimination of dairy (mostly butter) and eggs. There are some recipes that just aren't the same...like the pumpkin pie that just came out of my Christmas baking oven. For a while, I've told myself "I'll just make this for the family", "I'll just let them have this (insert bad food or drink item name here)" or even "I'll work on them later, after I've gotten it all down pat". Tonight, I'm just telling myself I can't have any of the pie. But by this time next year, my prayer is to have an entirely Vegan dinner for all of us! I don't really want to fix turkey, ham or even chicken for anyone else. If I don't believe it's good for me, why should I cook it for them??
So here's to getting more creative, positive and determined! I never make New Year's resolutions, because I don't like to knowingly set myself up for failure. But these are changes that will only bring positive results.
The tricky thing is...I just can't announce to them that I'm doing it (unless I want a minor rebellion)...it just has to happen & a few weeks down the road maybe they'll realize that they haven't really missed the butter, eggs and excessive sugar anyway!
