6 months today, hooray!
Today is my 6 month plant-strong anniversary and I forgot . . .
Guess where I went to eat?
My family called and invited me to go and eat at Brazilian grill. You know . . . a steady stream of speared meat, peeled away with tongs and devoured—antelope and a variety of beef to wild hog and chicken hearts . . . you can even get meat wrapped in meat—a veritable plant strong nightmare. I went with the salad bar and was given a forest green placemat to alert meat bearers that I was not allowed in on the carnivorous fun.
If kids love it, you know you've got a hit .
Yummy yum yum!
This is such an easy meal that it will please even the toughest plant-strong critics.
Bonus—it uses leftover chili as one of the ingredients. Just make yummy chili Monday and on Thursday turn it into chili casserole, makes a week’s dinner easy-peasy.
First I have to introduce you to my new and improved cornbread recipe.
Cornbread—sweet version
Shown here are the Cornbread Muffins, but you use the same cornbread batter to make the (Chili Pie).

A Happy and Healthy Anniversary
It was six months ago today that I began my journey of a one-hundred percent plant-based diet . . . and I have never looked back. Down 20+ pounds and feeling great, I eat better and eat more food than ever before. Back then, I knew I wasn’t eating right, but like so many people, I couldn’t really pin down what it meant to “eat right.” More salad, maybe? But there is more to it than that, as I have since learned. It’s like trying to navigate across country without a map, but once you have a map of the territory, you know where you are, where you are going and how to get there. The plant-based diet is the road map. You know what to eat, what to avoid and, most importantly, why. And while implementation can be a challenge for some people, the concepts are so incredibly simple: choose from the four food groups, period.
