Ain’t that the truth? After a month of eating a vegetarian diet (at least) and mostly a plant-based, or vegan, diet, I have learned that it gets easier. My husband, though, having just recently watched Forks over Knives with me, has decided to commit to a much-more plant-focused diet. He has always been a hearty eater, someone who is high energy and burns calories quickly, it’s been difficult for him to “fill up” on this type of meal during the first week.

Knowing that it is possible to eat this kind of diet and eat filling meals I went in search of some supporting evidence and found this awesome blog post on sproutnewroots! Many of these snack ideas I’ve read before and several I’ve tried.  We were fortunate to move into a health-conscious neighborhood of Louisville with a GREAT health section of the grocery.  I frequently crank out my…

Do we order in? Do we…

Oh. My. Gosh.

As many of you know, last night was the BCS championship football game (shout out to my bro-in-law’s team FSU for the big V) so Michael and I were looking for something we could eat for the game.  He researched a few vegan pizza recipes, but to be honest, after our Mellow Mushroom Vegan Pizza disaster, we were a little hesitant. We ended up scrounging up leftovers for the evening… but the recipes he found did get me thinking.

I figured, if there was an easy vegan pizza dough out there, I could probably make this work!  I had tons of veggies in the fridge (thanks to the snowpocalypse scare in Louisville this weekend… no snow but the temps were below 0!) I opened the fridge to find lots of…
