31. Plant-based diet and meal prep tips for the curious beginner

“What’s for dinner???”  Does that question make you want to run and hide???  For a non-cook like me, the answer is an emphatic “YES!!!” It’s too easy to go to a nearby drive-thru, which I’ve done more times than I like to admit.  But what if it was possible to prepare healthy meals quickly and efficiently?   In this episode, I had a great conversation with Faith VanderMolen, whose simple yet tasty recipes give me so much hope!  Also, if you are curious about what it takes to incorporate plant-based foods into your diet or maybe even transition into a plant-based diet, this episode is for you!       Faith has a growing YouTube channel, Conscientious Eating with Faith where she has value-packed and simple how-to videos featuring her delicious and healthy vegan meals.  She also has a recipe book available for purchase on Amazon called Plant Biased: 90+ Easy Recipes and Essential Guide for the Plant-Based Beginner.   What I appreciated most about Faith is how she encouraged me that it is possible to prepare healthy meals quickly and efficiently even if you work 40 plus hours a week.    I hope you enjoy this conversation with Faith.    More about Faith: Faith is first and foremost a wife and mother. For the past six years, she and her husband have lived as ex-pats in various countries throughout Southeast Asia. The challenges associated with living overseas forced her to become creative with her cooking, and thus The Conscientious Eater was born, a place where she shares her passion for healthy, plant-based recipes and food photography. Now with two young kids, her focus has shifted to creating a holistic approach to not only her own diet but that of her entire family.   Click here to view her blog:  www.theconscientiouseater.com Connect with Faith on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconscientiouseater/ Purchase her cookbook here:  https://theconscientiouseater.com/plant-biased-ebook/                *also available on Amazon Check out her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFs0wClrCdHcAFOfD7yQFKw   Connect with Grace on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/organizewithgrace/  Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/organizewithgracefb My website is:  www.organizewithgrace.com   

Om Podcasten

If you feel overwhelmed by the amount of stuff you own, this podcast is for you. Like you, many people face the challenge of what to do with their accumulated possessions. Then thoughts about someday moving into a smaller place, simplifying our lifestyle, or simply creating more space and order in our environment dance through their minds. But procrastination and indecision keep them feeling paralyzed and frozen. Sound familiar? Take heart, you are not alone. Grace Rehman wants to come alongside you to provide you with bite-sized tips, emotional and mental support, encouragement, and laughter in between the messy middle as you declutter, downsize, and move. Even if you’re not thinking about moving just yet, these episodes will help you gain momentum to decide what to keep and let go. Decluttering and downsizing (she would rather say ”rightsizing”) can feel impossible, but it doesn’t have to be. As your Home Organizer, Grace can help you get started and make the process simpler and more enjoyable.
