21-Day Vegan Kickstart- Would You Like To Join Me?

I recently found this ad on Facebook that I decided to click. It was the "21-Day Vegan Kickstart". Now, I am not a vegan, or vegetarian, but I try to eat several meals a week that would fall under either of these categories. So, I was intrigued when I saw this ad & wanted to check it out. I've been feeling a bit more tired, face breaking out & feeling bloated lately, so something like this might do the trick to get me back to my old self.

I joined this challenge as well as their Facebook group, of the same name. This is what is listed under the info tab on Facebook:

Then there is the comfort food. I can tell you that when the weather is cold & icky here in Iowa, I love nothing more than some kind of comfort food. Mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, a big bowl of some hearty stew.... Mmmm..... So, here's one that will prove that veganism & comfort food CAN go together!
