Commence Countdown to Veganism

 On Monday, August 16th, I began my "Countdown to Veganism"  

I've been welcomed so warmly into the vegan community (even if I'm still a wanna-be vegan!) by my few vegan friends and they have inspired me to join the blogger community and share some of my cooking adventures.

 I decided to call my blog The Hedgehog in the Kitchen because, when I think of cute animals, it will help me avoid temptation and remember why I'm giving up so many "yummy" foods.  I love hedgehogs!  I love all animals.  I want to be good to myself and to nature.  That's why I'm embarking on a journey into veganism.  This is my place to share my trials and triumphs with the recipes I make.
