Day 3: A slow start

Today I had my first vegan day of the week, after three ‘false starts’ this week due to 1) pancake day and 2) realising I had a lot of eggs that needed using up in the fridge . 

As a vegetarian, I was expecting switching to vegan to be a relatively simple change of simply omitting dairy products from my weekly shop, however there is dairy in SO MANY things you don’t expect! So that’s tripped me up a bit so far.

In order to make the challenge more enjoyable, and therefore easier to stick to, I’ve decided to try and spend a bit more time than usual cooking during the week and make some extra special meals. I kicked things off today by making coconut dahl, which I had with rice, lime pickle and fresh coriander. It was delicious!
