Vegan for a Week! - Justin

As part of getting to know my food a little better, I thought I'd challenge myself to a new meal plan that would bring me closer to the roots of my vegetable ingredients.  Let me know what you think! This was a real challenge for me, as a proud meat eater, but it was completely worth it in the end.
