For today’s video we present the first-ever Krocks In The Kitchen challenge! Yes, we are going up against each other in a friendly competition. This was actually my mom’s idea… so thank you mom! Continue reading
If you watched our travel vlogs, you might remember that we found a few really good dishes on our recent trip that we wanted to replicate at home. One of the dishes that stuck out in our minds was a delicious Delicata squash and lentil salad we had at Little Eater at North Market in Columbus, Ohio. The list of ingredients seemed simple enough, so we decided to try it out! Continue reading
We just celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary, so I thought it would be a great time to reflect on our relationship and discuss how weight loss has impacted our marriage. Check out the video to hear us discuss this and more! Continue reading
It is no secret that I love chocolate! I’ve never been a coffee drinker, so for me there’s nothing better in the cold months than a nice mug of hot chocolate. Last winter, I tried to make a whole food, plant-based version, but I didn’t really know what I was doing. Now that I have another year of this lifestyle under my belt, I decided to give it another try! Continue reading
There are things we all know we NEED to change or should work on, but sometimes you just aren’t ready. People ask us a lot about the “last straw” that made us decide to start our weight loss journey (well, Brian likes to call it our weight loss “adventure”). In today’s video, we discuss what inspired us to finally start losing weight. Continue reading
Weekly meal prep has been the number one thing to keep us on track with our whole food, plant-based diet. We normally rotate between soups and chili for our weekday lunches, but every once in a while we switch it up with our “Super Power Veggie Tofu Bowl Thingy.” Continue reading

One of the first things we wanted to tackle was a way to roast them without using refined, processed oil. It turns out, tahini makes a great substitute! Continue reading
We were out of town and missed the very first St. Louis VegFest in 2018, so we were super excited to check it out this year! The festival is held at the World’s Fair Pavilion in Forest Park and features everything vegan – from food vendors to products, a speaker series and more. It was a busy day for us, so our time at the festival was limited, but we managed to try a bunch of great food and we thought we’d take you along. Continue reading
Fall is here and that means… spaghetti squash! They were on sale at our local grocery store a few weeks back, so I decided to pick one up. I wasn’t sure what we were going to do with it, but I figured Brian would make something delicious. We roasted it in the oven and before I knew it, Brian was adding a splash of this and a splash of that to the sauce. Continue reading
We have always loved traveling and honestly, when we switched to following a whole food, plant-based diet, I wasn’t sure what travel would look like. Would we have to bring our own food?
