A while ago I needed some peanut butter to help my dogs get their pills down. After looking through the labels of countless jars at the store and seeing that most of them were full of added sugars, oil and who knows what else, I decided to try making my own! Continue reading
As you may remember, I made a video 42 days ago on March 15, 2020 “confessing” that I had gotten completely off track with my diet. I’m not even sure if I properly expressed (or… admitted?) in that video just how far off track I was at the time. I had gotten to a point where I was sneaking food and hiding it from Brian. I even hid it from my co-workers, for fear that they would judge me since I’ve tried to set such a good “example” since we started this new lifestyle. Continue reading
About six weeks ago, I recorded a video of my “confession” that I had gotten completely off track with our whole food, plant-based (WFPB) diet. As of that day (March 15, 2020), I am proud to say that I have been completely back “on track” with our WFPB lifestyle! One of the things that cause my downward spiral was definitely CHOCOLATE. So when I decided to get back on track, I had to find a way to not completely eliminate it but also feel good about eating it. Enter… chocolate “nice” cream milk shake! Continue reading

Brian has been getting creative since we are home ALL THE TIME now. He started making these buffalo-style chickpeas using a powdered hot sauce seasoning I had bought a while ago at Aldi. The only problem was, when Brian went to make this recipe, we realized just how much sodium was in the seasoning mix. So I challenged him to create something that tasted similar but cut way back on the sodium. And I have to admit, he succeeded on the first try! Continue reading
We had SO many questions from our audience (and a ton that we wanted to ask ourselves), so Ray and Julieanna graciously agreed to continue the interview into a second part. In this part, we discussed a variety of topics, including that infamous potato diet, ideal body weight, contrast showers and the ever popular protein question. Continue reading
We hope you enjoy this two-part interview as much as we enjoyed filming it. Honestly, I feel Julieanna and Ray’s work is what will shape our entire future following this lifestyle, so I am excited to continue to get to know them better and learn more from them along the way. Continue reading
We recently celebrated our One-Year Anniversary on YouTube and now we have hit another milestone… our 100th Episode! We decided to take a look back at some of our favorite videos from the past year. Check out the video to see us take a trip down memory lane! Continue reading
In the midst of this global pandemic, most of us are currently stuck at home and trying to avoid any unnecessary trips to the grocery store. The good news is, if you are following a whole food plant based diet, there are TONS of shelf-stable pantry products that you can put together in endless combinations to create tasty meals.

When we switched to a whole food plant based diet, the one thing I thought I could never give up was cheese. Little did I know… there are SO many good recipes out there for vegan substitutes that are much healthier AND still taste really good! Continue reading
