Sometimes when people come to us wanting to shift to Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) meals, they're concerned that they'll miss their "favourite foods". Things like burgers, hot dogs and fries. Ice cream, chocolate mousse or mashed potatoes and gravy.
To their surprise, there are delicious, satisfying WFPB alternates that leave us missing nothing.
Join us to hear more.
When we think of "favourite foods", we usually think about the foods that we enjoy eating the most. Not necessarily the foods that make our bodies healthy and strong, but the foods that give us the experience we want when we eat them.
And we're no different from other people. We like to eat the foods that we grew up with and enjoyed eating, too. So, for over 30 years we've been playing with recipes that bring us back to those fun food times... without the fat, salt, sugar and other aspects that can create health conditions.
Here are a few of what have become our new favourites that you can find here on our website:
Burgers (and Burger Bun)
and for the Holidays
Mashed Potatoes & Gravy
That should get you started. Leave a comment below about what you like most. And if there's a favourite of yours that we don't have a recipe for, let us know and we'll see what we can do for you.
To your Amazing Health,
Connie and Bill
