I don’t know if a lot of you know this, but I used to be a vegetarian; a vegan even! 13 years of vegetarianism with 3 years of those being vegan, I learned to love all veggies, fruits, and different types of fake meats (but vegan cheese was not very good at all). It has been a long time since I have been a vegetarian, but I still eat vegan and vegetarian food a lot, and it has gotten increasing better over the years. I have recently discovered a new food box company called Purple Carrot, which is 100%vegan. I decided to give it a try to cook dinners and lunches for myself when the hubby is out of town and the girls are at practice, which is a lot.
The portion is for 2 people, so I get 6 meals instead of just 3. So far, I am really loving it. It can be expensive to buy a lot of vegetarian and vegan food, especially just for myself, and then some of the vegetables and fruit end up going bad. This is so much less wasteful, because they give you just enough for the recipe. I love that it comes with a little recipe book of all the recipes (6 recipes to choose from and you select 3). That way I can always go back and try the other recipes that I did not choose.
