Veganuary Take 2, Weekend 1

This past weekend was super cold with a bit of snow.  I got on Saturday AM and hit up the track for a workout.  It was snowing and BEAUTIFUL!

so cold, but super fun track workout!


After the workout, I decided to make some vegan cinnamon rolls.  It was a new to me recipe but I went for it.  You guys, it was terrible.  I ate one but it was not at all what I was expecting.  Maybe this time around, I need to focus on baking a bit more.  Last year I didn't bake at all during this challenge so to up my game this time around I think I will go for it.  This first one was a bust though.

Later on that evening I decided to try a frozen vegan burger, Beyond Meat "Beast Burger".  I bought it b/c it was on sale at my local Safeway and had never tried it before.  The directions are to cook it on the stove with a bit of oil on both sides.  It very clearly says not to microwave it.  I found that a bit odd and had I noticed it earlier, probably would not have purchased it.  It would have been nice to have something that I could heat at at work in the microwave.  I start cooking it and....no.  The smell is not good.  I continue on thinking....maybe I just need to get used to it.  I finish cooking it and take a bite, and throw the rest in the trash.  It was so bad.  I ended up eating homemade fries, a tomato cut up with avocado and a piece of bread.

After the disaster that was Saturday's food, Sunday I went with foods I already knew!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!
