Harpo goes Vegan (for a week)

Over at Get Natured, I learned that Oprah and the rest of the Harpo crew are challenging themselves to go Vegan for a week. There are some interesting and useful resources on the website:

• FAQs about eating vegan – http://www.oprah.com/health/Frequently-Asked-Questions-About-Going-Vegan
• Three weeks of meal ideas – http://www.oprah.com/food/Three-Week-Vegan-Menu-Plan
• and more in the webpage they are calling the “Vegan Starter Kit” – http://www.oprah.com/packages/vegan-starter-kit.html

It’s simple and straightforward, and of course addresses the myths of eating vegan. Plus, I always love getting new meal ideas, which is why I was checking out Get Natured in the first place. Can’t wait to try her recipe for Breakfast Cookies!
