This is my creation.  I am typing this not while I am cooking so I hope I remember everything!  I’ve made this version three times now but it isn’t so different from the black bean burritos I used to make prior to starting down the path of plant-based.  What I love about this meal is […]

I thought it might be helpful if you knew what the basic foods we have in the cupboards are.

Oh boy these weeks are just slipping by!  I can’t believe we are almost to the end of the 6th week of this adventure.  So many great changes since we started.  I have also been encouraged by how many other people are interested in this information or already trying plant based.  I love how when […]

I am getting later and later on getting these menu posts up and I realized I haven’t made any updates since I posted the last menu.  So this post will be about this week’s menu and the next one will be on the changes we have seen. I am starting to get the hang of […]

The table format for the menu was fun but it was cutting off the end of the week.  So I am just going to list the days and meals below.  Also, for the most part we have left-overs for lunch.  In that case I do not indicate a meal. Tonight, we had the bean wraps […]
