When I first mention to someone that I eat only plants the first thing I usually hear is, “I could never give up meat!” I’ve started asking them what is it about meat that you would miss. The typical answer is how good it tastes. I agree with them, but point out that what theyContinue reading “Tastes Great/More Filling”

Vegan Dirty Mac & Cheese
OK, now this dish is AMAZING! It is 100% Plant-Based. This may not be the healthiest recipe I’ve ever posted, but I guarantee I’ll be making it again and again. I combined two recipes into one. First I made Classic Baked Vegan Mac and Cheese from Lovingitvegan.com, then I made The Best Vegan “Pulled Pork”Continue reading “Vegan Dirty Mac & Cheese”
Posts on the Science of Plant-Based Nutrition

The American College of Cardiology has an online calculator that you can use to determine your current risk of developing heart disease. Click here to go to their site.

This is one my mother-in-law sent to us. I think it’s based on a recipe fromContinue reading “Touchdown Italian Chili”
Pumpkin Pie
Not everything I eat is super healthy, not even close. My son, Cameron found this recipe and it’s amazing and it’s vegan! You don’t even have to tell them it’s vegan; they won’t know.

So, I’m going to provide a selection of recipes that my family eats routinely and loves. I challenge you to start by adding one to twoContinue reading “DeBoom’s Ironman Cherry Chili”
My Plant-Based Journey
My wife has been an on-again off-again vegetarian/vegan for years, but about 4 years ago she went full vegan and hasn’t looked back. She slowly motivated me to make the same choice. By slow, I mean over 3 years! She chooses the plant based food plan for many reasons. Furry little critters, health, and environmental. Continue reading “My Plant-Based Journey”
