Yesterday, I decided to make BBQ sandwiches for dinner. My kids have only had pulled pork for their sandwiches. But I was using…Jackfruit instead. After removing the seeds and husk (hard parts of the fruit), I rinsed and cooked out the water in a skillet before seasoning with vegetable stock, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper and…

I am only eat food that is alive. No, I did not start a new zombie diet. Apples, green beans, and soursop and other plant-based foods are frozen at the height of their livelihood and stored until I can bring it home. The most nutritious foods are alive when you eat them. All the other…

So how long are you going to be a plant-based? When I tell people my diet changed they assume it’s temporary. Only changing for the weight loss. The weight loss is a side effect of eating food my body needs and feeding my microbiome (gut health). Why would I ever go back to a diet…

Consistently dirty dishes in the sync. Cooking 2 to 3 meals a day adds up. Frequent potty breaks (fiber definitely works). Higher volume of groceries for recipes and staple items. Smug sense of superiority. Just kidding, mostly. Other than that it’s a lot of upside for a small amount of downside.

Most of us want to lose weight. So we set these goals. We are going to stop eating this or that until we hit goal. The we forget about it. Yes, the very reason why you stopped eating chocolate cookies is now back on the menu on you hit your target. Kick starting your rise…
