TRMom has decided to embrace veganism. Vegetarian since around 15 years of age, she noticed that as an adult, her diet had deteriorated into convenience and junk. Wanting to make a step towards better health and realizing that structure and strictness were motivating factors for her, the vegan diet seemed an obvious direction.
One of the most difficult aspects of this dietary transition has been figuring out road trip food. We are a family on the go! We usually pack a decent amount of snacks, and occasionally a picnic lunch. But just as often, we like to enjoy lunch out when exploring.
The usual go-to Culvers veggie burger is not vegan. So what sort of choices are out there that would be friendly venues for our entire family? Thanks to the internet, we found two very helpful site links:

http://www.peta.org/living/food/happy-cow/chain-restaurants/
It was very interesting to see how many options exist! Now we can do just a quick bit of research, either before our trips or while on the road. And TRMom can enjoy something other than a sorry little side salad.
This vegan thing just might stick!
