Eggplant and Lentil “Shepherd’s Pie”…My January Plant-Based Pescatarian Diet Continues
“Make a habit of trying new things”….. That quote really speaks to me right now because one of the things that I love about my January Journey into a more Plant-Based diet is that I have had to make myself try new things for this to work. That is kind of scary for two reasons. …
4 Bean Whole Wheat Chili Mac….My January Plant Based Pescatarian Diet Continues
“Eat better, not less”….That was my plan for January when I started what I called ” My January Journey into a Plant-Based Pescatarian Diet”.

Tofu and Veggie Stir-Fry…..My January Plant-Based Pescatarian Diet Continues
This past weekend, I ate more fish and potatoes than I would have liked, so this week I’m trying to put the focus back on plants. What better way to do that than a Tofu and Veggie Stir-Fry! My challenge? It is keeping my husband satisfied because he is not a huge tofu fan although …

I’ve always loved tofu when it’s prepared well and I thought tempeh would be kind of the same. Nope! It was not a pleasant eating experience and hopefully, the …
January Journey..Day 3 of my Plant-Based Pescatarian Diet
“Let food be thy medicine.” Hippocrates. This was the opening quote of the 2011 documentary called Forks over Knives that I watched last night on Netflix. It is based on not only eating a plant-based diet like me but also a whole food diet. It was, to say the least, an eye-opener. What I loved …
January Journey…Day 14 of my Plant-based Pescatarian Diet
Wow! Today hits the 2 week mark of my adventure and it is going really well! Although, I do have a craving every now and then, especially for chicken, I’m hardly ever hungry and I have a lot of energy. I needed it today because I had an early morning cooking segment in which I …

Yesterday was one of those “get things done” days and food was high on the to-do list! First, I spent time in the kitchen prepping my Healthy Layered Mediterranean Dip that I was going to be making on today’s WBIR/Mornings with Fox 43. Its more involved than just preparing the recipe in that you have …
