Be inspired and explore a plant-based diet

  • Why bother?

    It has been a few bad months health wise. Fatigue and fever have plagued my year. I think I felt normal for about 10 days so far this year. I wanted to blame something or someone. So Veganism was an easy target, if only I ate some meat I would feel better. I knew better…

  • Cheesy Cheese

    Super bowl weekend is rolling around again and the pizza will roll right along with it. I’m not going to quote numbers of pizzas but it’s truly astronomical.

  • Taking Pictures

    I am new to this but, I knew I would eventually make this blog. I have been making photographs of my kitchen project for some time now. My phone spit out 468 results when I asked it to search my photos for Food. That’s when I realized I am going to be working differently in…
