Veganuary, vegan for the month of January.
Is anyone else participating in Veganuary? Also interested in advice from vegans. Realized I blew it already as I accidentally put cream in my coffee. Putting oat milk on my list. :)

If you're going from an omnivore diet to vegan, that's a big jump.
As one who had more than two decades as a vegetarian and some of that as a vegan, I would recommend cutting out both animal products and most packaged foods (aside from the plant milk, and plant sources of protein).
Heavily processed or packaged foods often have animal products somewhere in the ingredient list or the production process and you don't need to learn all that for one month.
Here are two sources of information to help you along - a list of good vegan websites and recommended vegan cookbooks.
Good luck & enjoy!

Thank you!
First meal went ok. Coffee w oat milk, spiced hot cider. And vegan empanada.
Here are a few of the (older) authors and cookbooks I found gave tasty food based on vegetarian and vegan limits:
Mollie Katzen, Moosewood Cookbook (esp the revised edition which went lower on dairy and fat)
Elizabeth Schneider, books on vegetables
Deborah Madison, Greens (from San Francisco restaurant)
Mark Bittman, How to Cook Everything Vegetarian
Anna Thomas, Vegetarian Epicure II
Laurel Robertson, Laurel's Kitchen.
The list of recommended cookbooks from Food and Wine Magazine has more recent books.
