If you aren’t familiar with Prime Day, it is a two-day event every year with a bunch of great deals! New deals are being added all the time. I find that it can be really stressful, so I thought I’d put together a few tips for finding the best deals! Continue reading
When we bought a Vitamix last year, I was really excited to try making my own nut butters at home. Fast forward several months later, and we STILL had not tried it out, so we decided to do it! We usually buy raw, unsalted almonds, so I was hoping to just dump the entire 16oz bag into my Vitamix and blend! However… I started looking up recipes online, and I realized it wasn’t quite THAT simple if you are wanting to use raw almonds. Continue reading
In the final video celebrating the start of our whole food, plant-based lifestyle back in June 2018, we decided to do a… BAKED POTATO THROWDOWN! Since we kicked this new lifestyle off with two weeks of nothing but plain potatoes (inspired by Penn Jillette’s book Presto!), we wanted to go back and test out a variety of plain potatoes to see how they stack up. We are gluttons for punishment! Continue reading
We have been getting a TON of questions, so we decided to start a series of Q&A videos to answer some of them! Since we are still celebrating the one year anniversary of the two weeks of potatoes that kicked off our new lifestyle back in June 2018, this week we are talking all about POTATOES!

If you watched our One Year Potato-A-Versary video, you know we got pretty emotional after trying plain potatoes for the first time since we kicked off our diet with two weeks of potatoes back in June 2018! Our original plan for that video was to finish it off with some delicious loaded version of our favorite potatoes, but we decided to hold off after the emotions kicked in.
We have been thinking about what kind of loaded potatoes we would make for a week or so now, so we wanted to share what we came up with! As you can probably tell, Brian and I have very different preferences, so we each came up with our own tasty creation. Continue reading
We began this journey back in June 2018. As we approached the one year anniversary of our two weeks of potatoes, we started thinking of ideas to celebrate. When Brian came home and said “I’ve got it! Let’s eat plain potatoes again!” … I was not even mildy impressed 😉 Then I thought about it, and you know what? I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate our first year on this journey than with a plain potato. We owe a lot to those potatoes, for better or worse. They kicked off this entire lifestyle change for us, and I honestly don’t think we would be here doing this right now if we hadn’t started with those two weeks of plain potatoes. Continue reading
If you watched our first YouTube video, you know that Brian and I started our “diet” in one of the dumbest ways possible. We took a “mono-diet” approach after reading Penn Jillette’s book Presto! Now we are here to share some of the most important lessons we learned. Continue reading
When Brian came home and told me he wanted to try eating nothing but potatoes for two weeks, I thought he was NUTS! However, we have both struggled with being over weight for the majority of our lives, so I was pretty desperate and ready to try just about anything. Continue reading
