Here’s to 2020!

This is the year!

That's what they always say, isn't it?

Well, maybe this year really will be the year.

We have finally decided to clean out the pantry, clean out the fridge, and make the jump to a whole foods, plant-based diet. And by that, I essentially mean vegan. No meat, no fish, no eggs, no dairy. Avoiding processed foods and sticking to things that grow from the ground. It's not really intended to be a New Year's resolution, but the new year always seems to get me thinking about the changes I've been meaning to make but haven't been willing/ able to put in the effort to actually make.

The science is overwhelming, in my opinion, that a plant-based diet is better for our health and better for the earth. We have agreed as a family to make this big change - which is good because it would be all the harder if we had to do it alone. The kids are excited about trying new foods, though I'm sure that excitement will wear off. Fingers crossed that we are all persistent in trying new things so our taste buds (and habits) can adjust.
