Join In The Journey

So recently, I have felt very convicted to make my diet more healthy.  After seeing the documentary Forks Over Knives and doing a lot more investigating, I would like to try to gradually switch over to a whole foods, plant based diet.

First of all, I strongly recommend everyone see the Forks Over Knives documentary - the information is nicely presented in an easy to understand format - (you can even check with your local library to see if they have the video or would consider getting it in).  There are a number of other documentaries out there in this genera and I encourage you to watch as many as possible and do the research yourself to come to your own conclusion.  These documentaries, along with more of my own research into the subject has really inspired me to try to pick more healthy recipes to share on this blog.

So, in the next few weeks you will begin to see a few more vegan recipes popping up into the meal plan.  I plan to try a gradual transition by starting with 2-3 vegan meals per week.  Don't be afraid, though!  Just give them a try.  I live in a small community and do not have access to a plethora of exotic ingredients, so the recipes that I will be choosing will have ingredients that I got from my local grocery store (Kroger) unless otherwise specified.  I am not a gourmet chef and I have a toddler at home, so the recipes I plan to choose will be on the time conscious and easy to prepare side, if at all possible.

Come and join me in this journey toward a healthy lifestyle!
