When I first started eating a more plant based diet, I was worried about all the “work” it would take. The thought of even putting a ton of effort into finding a snack that was vegan seemed daunting. But once I started looking at labels, I was surprised to find it wasn’t as hard as […]

Plant-based Thanksgiving Gravy
Life is good. Life can get crazy sometimes, but life is good! I have been so busy with projects around the house and projects for the kids and such that posting got put on the back burner. We also had our computer completely poop out on us last week. This was slightly terrifying since the […]
