Ramen Noodle Taste Of Curry

What you will need:

1 package ram en noodles( as far as I know the noodles are vegan, not the seasoning)

1 teaspoon curry powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

 

 

 

1. Make the noodles how you normally would and add the new seasonings instead of the seasoning packet

It's Alright To Slip

Yeah, believe it or not I am not going to judge you for eating that steak the other night.  It happens, don't beat yourself up over it and don't let it change your idea to become vegan.

Eating meat or dairy once in a while happens. Periodically I slip up too, but I don't let it knock me off track. So keep your chin up, it's not he end of the world.

Look For Sales

Yes, look for sales. Now 'm not telling you to go all out and clip coupons, but I am telling you to shop smart.

 

Couponing is one way to get great deals on things you need, but by paying attention to weekly flyers you can easily save money.

 

Sometimes stores will have pasta for 49 cents before coupons. I know that is awesome. Cooking oils might be on sale the next week. During summer months fruits and vegatables will be on sale.

 

So before you spend money on food make a list and see if anything on you list is on sale.

In The Begining

         So you have decided to become Vegan. That is great. For what ever reason you have decide to become Vegan I am here to help you transition. At first it might be a little overwhelming , but it gets easier.

         When i first became vegan I felt like i was so limited as to what i could have. I kept reminding myself that in the long run i would thank myself for having a better diet. As time went on i started putting the pieces together and it occurred to me that everything i thought i was missing out on was only a matter of changing a few ingredients and i would have the same food i loved.


           With out further a due I will help you begin this journey.
