Processed Food Heaven!

I'm one of those people that can't stand to be told what to do. Even if I'm doing the telling. So the day after Raw Day always becomes a naughty food day. I mean, not that naughty. Just a few processed foods and such, like in this Waffle, Sausage, and Cheese Panini from The Kind Diet:

Alicia Silverstone's The Kind Diet is mostly filled with ultra-healthy, macrobiotic-friendly meals, but she also includes a few recipes for people transitioning into a vegan diet. Those dishes often include faux meats and vegan cheeses.

Now this certainly isn't my first vegan rodeo (is that an oxymoron?), but I still love fake meat. I'm pretty sure I always will. I've never understood why some vegans would desire to move beyond the need for fakin' bacon, soy sausage, and faux chicken. That stuff tastes awesome!

This panini was made from Van's frozen vegan waffles, Tofurky Kielbasa, Daiya cheese, and a spread made from Vegenaise, apricot jam, and herbs. It was absolutely yummy and perfect for re-toxing from my uber-healthy day yesterday. To add a little balance, I ate the panini with my leftover raw slaw.
