Eating plant-based is a dietary choice to feel great about. Every day, three times a day, you have an opportunity to align your actions with your values and eat in a way that remedies many of the ills that afflict humanity and our planet.
Concerned about climate change? You can be part of the solution. Eating plant-based is one of the single most impactful things we as individuals can do to protect the environment.
Motivated to minimize your risk for chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, certain forms of cancer, and obesity? Plant-based dishes can be an important component of a healthy lifestyle – a way to eat for optimal wellness. Plant-based foods tend to be nutrient dense, low in saturated fat, and high in fiber and antioxidants. They’re also devoid of cholesterol. These nutritional qualities are consistent with minimizing disease risk.
My goal is to share culinary shortcuts and information about the benefits of plant-based eating for your health, the planet, and all its inhabitants. I’m thrilled to help you and the people you cook for experience the scrumptious food and sense of well-being this lifestyle can offer.
