The Kosher Diaries - Day 1

'One thing I have learned pretty much immediately is just how little we need to eat.  That said, hunger has been a constant feeling today.  However, it is certainly bearable.' - 3:40 pm

My meals:

Breakfast - Chocolate protein shake, toast w/grape jelly, and Cheerios.

Lunch - Fruit Salad, toast w/peanut butter, chocolate milk 

Dinner - Cheese pizza, chocolate milk ,  banana cream pie snack packs 


That's a Kosher cheese pizza :)


My cheese pizza reveals my one exception to the "no substitute" rule.  Here is something you may not know about me: I love bacon.  So on my cheese pizza I added Bacon Salt to some of it, a Kosher seasoning made by Jews who didn't keep Kosher, but then gave up their non-Kosher ways.  Loving bacon, they desired to make a Kosher seasoning that tastes like it.  I'd say they did a pretty good job.  But I intend to use that seasoning sparingly.  I only have one other recipe planned that uses it.


So, how was my first day going Kosher?  Actually, not that bad.  Did I miss meat?  Oh yes. But I can understand how livable this lifestyle can be.  That said, I am so thankful for not having to eat Kosher (even if I'm currently forgoing that right).

Btw, that fruit salad took over 20 minutes to prepare.  Every individual fruit had to be washed in vegetable wash.  Crazy.
