    (This post contains affiliate links. I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you if you purchase a product from a link on this page.

I didn’t end up posting one last week. Life was just busy and I didn’t get around to it. Claire went to a VBS at the church we’ve been attending last week, so our evenings were pretty busy. In other news, Peter has almost completed his training as a mail carrier. He has on…

    Monday Menu Planning – Week 8

    Happy Monday, friends! Can you even say happy and Monday in the same sentence? My husband isn’t working today, so that it makes it a happy Monday for us! Those of you who know us well or are regular readers know that he is currently in training to be a mail carrier. The hours are a bit weird during training. We’re happy to have extra time with him, but it will be nice to finally get into a “normal” (what is normal, anyway?) routine when he is out of training. Last week, I actually cooked almost every night, so I don’t have any rollover recipes from last week. I’m so proud…

    Monday Menu Planning – Week 5

    It’s been almost a month since I have posted a menu! Honestly, I have not been doing a great job of sticking to (or even planning) menus lately. While we were moving, I had some leftover meals in the freezer and those were absolute God sends. I highly recommend prepping some frozen meals before moving gets too crazy, so you can still eat healthy, delicious meals. It will help you to feel your best (because, let’s face it, fast food every night makes you feel icky) and will save your wallet as well! Other than that, we just had salads, frozen veggie burgers from Aldi and easy to grab things…

    Monday Menu Planning – Week 4

    I’m posting two days in a row? Who even am I? Another Monday means another menu! I love sharing all the yummy plant based recipes we enjoy. I hope you find something tasty and nutritious to enjoy. Curious as to why we eat plant based in our home? Check out this article. If you’d like to check out previous Monday Menu plans, you can find them here, here and here. Here’s what’s cooking in our home this week … Creamy Potato Kale Soup (from Pinch of Yum) – This soup is definitely not completely plant based, but it’s easy to make recipe adjustments to do so. Speaking of which, would anyone be interested in a post…

    Monday Menu Planning – Week 1

    If you’re anything like me, you’re always searching for new recipes. I found this to be especially true when I started a plant based diet (read more about that here). So I thought it would be helpful (and fun!) to share my weekly plant based menu with you! Small disclaimer, we really love different ethnic foods. I am the kind of person who can’t eat the same things over and over again. My idea of repeating meals is at least a month in between the times I make it. I am constantly looking up new recipes and trying new things. As a result, we try (and end up loving!) a lot…

    Why I Made the Switch to Plant Based Eating

    Hey, all! Today I’ll be sharing some of my very personal (and probably semi-lengthy!) journey to health with you. This is a subject that I’m still a little hesitant to write about, both because I feel like there can be a lot of judgment surrounding the way we eat and I have only recently found my footing and become more comfortable sharing. Let me preface this post with two statements. First of all, the choices I’ve made have been for my own personal health. The benefits I have found may not be true in your experience and that’s okay – no judgment from me whatsoever! I’m sharing what worked for…
