Going Vegan? Get Started Here

Are you considering adopting a vegan lifestyle? Are you wondering about the health reasons for going vegan, the environmental reasons for eating a plant-based diet or how to cook and enjoy vegan food?

Learn How to Cook Amazing Vegan Meals

When I first began transitioning a plant-based diet (read more about my journey on my About Me page) I was overwhelmed. I didn’t know the difference between having a vegan diet versus a plant-based diet. Many vegan-friendly ingredients were new to me. Most important, I didn’t even fully understand why I wanted to switch to a vegan diet.

In retrospect, I realize that I expected too much too soon and that I put too high of a price on perfection. Going vegan is a major lifestyle change and, frankly, the vegan culture can be very daunting. As I learned more about a vegan diet, the benefits (both physical and environmental) of adopting a plant-based lifestyle and how to cook vegan food, I was better able to answer my all-important question: why should I go vegan. Or, perhaps better put, why should I strive everyday to go vegan?
