Vegetarian turning Vegan?

I’ve been a vegetarian for many years, and finally have decided to take the next step into vegan-hood. I’m making the change by the end of this month. (I’m not going to beat myself up over any “slips” in the process.)

I would love to hear about any tips or pointers, any easy/economical/tasty vegan recipes (particularly if you know a great cheese substitute!), or just the general transition you went through.

Thanks!:)
