I recently completed a full year of being (mostly) plant-based. Yep. 365 days without meat, dairy (cheese, milk, butter, etc.) with the exception of some baked items, hence the "mostly" disclaimer. I mean I'm all about full disclosure so there go. If you've been following this blog for a while, y'all know I didn't plan …

Merry Fitness
If you go solely by Facebook standards, our family is only one that hasn't already decked the halls for Christmas. I mean it's not even DECEMBER and I'm starting to feel the pressure. Speaking of pressure - see how easy it is to pivot- I know the holiday hustle and bustle are the Numero Uno …

A Simple Swap
Our family loves Mexican food so Taco Tuesday happens a few times a week.

(Insert fancy music). Garbanzo beans (also called chickpeas) …

Power to the Plants
A plant-based diet is one based on fruits, vegetables, tubers, whole grains, and legumes; and it excludes or minimizes meat (including chicken and fish), dairy products, and eggs, as well as highly refined foods like bleached flour, refined sugar, and oil. Yesterday marked the end of a 30-Day Challenge. I committed to eating a *mostly* plant-based …
