Veggie Spaghetti
My mother was visiting over the weekend and when I have company I want to provide good meals but I don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen. That’s no fun for me or my company, so I’m always on the lookout for plant-based (vegan) dishes that are company friendly. Not only do they

Plant-based Shepherd’s Pie
Shepherd’s Pie. One of the ultimate comfort foods in my book. We used to eat it with a bunch of meat in it, so when I came to the realization that one of my favorite dinner-time meals could be made into a plant-based meal, and easily, I was ecstatic! How do you plant-base-erize (new word

Pregnancy and a Plant-Based/Vegan Diet
We are happy to announce that we will have another addition to our family of 3! This will be our second child and we couldn’t be happier! With our first we weren’t following anything close to a plant-based diet. We basically followed the average American diet, but perhaps even a little better than the average.
