Tip of the Week: "Nutrients do not behave the same in whole foods as when isolated. The healthful properties of fatty plant foods like nuts, seeds, and avocados cannot be obtained by consuming only their extracted and highly concentrated oils. When we eat the oil, we strip away much of the good stuff." ~ Center for Nutrition Studies

My Plant-Based Life

A Word About This Blog
My family and I eat a plant-based diet. That means we eat only fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and a small amount of nuts and seeds. We do this because we believe it is the diet that contributes the most to good health and helps us avoid disease. So that said, you will not find any recipes here that include meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs or overly processed foods. What we eat comes directly from the earth. What follows are my thoughts, ideas, research, recipes and photos as I create beautiful, nutrient-dense meals and strive to live in a healthy way. I hope you find inspiration and enjoy the tales of My Plant-Based Life.
