RECIPE EDITS
My definition of a plant-based diet is meatless; it contains vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds with little to no processed foods. Embracing and sticking to it is not always that easy.
Swop out meat with protein-dense plant-based ingredients. This recipe refresh is excellent for meatless Mondays or everyday plant-based eating. When substituting ingredients, consider the differences in taste, texture, moisture content, and the weight required.
Refresh and edit your pantry and recipe box to include plant-based meals that are good for you and that you will want to eat. Whether you follow meatless Mondays or are all in, check back regularly and discover healthy ingredients to build a plant-based pantry, try plant-based recipes, and explore some healthy swops to adopt.
INGREDIENT REFRESH
Explore whole-food plant-based swops rich in fiber and protein to boost your meatless meals. Focus on substituting high protein-packed, nutrient rich and fiber dense ingredients into your meatless meals.

As a professional chef there was very little that I didn't eat. Dairy butter, cream, and cheese dominated most dishes I prepared. Since 2016, through the process of elimination, I have slowly added more plant-based ingredients and removed meat and fish. I must say that I miss cheese the most. Every once in a while, I indulge in sheep's or goat's milk cheeses.
The healthier me continues to explore plant-based ingredient swops and apply traditional cooking techniques. Join me as I create and share delicious, easy to prepare recipes; explore new ingredients and their origin.
