Hello! I love that plant-based eating benefits our health, our planet, and animals. Plus, it's not as hard (or bland, or expensive!) as we assume, and it's a great way to try new foods. For me, one of those foods has been beans. Sooo many beans :) Hummus on toast in the morning, chickpeas in my smoothie for lunch, lentils in a stir-fry for dinner... I'm creating Wellwith to make it easier to enjoy plant-based eating and other healthy actions with people and brands you care about. Thanks for being here!

Rich Red Curry with Roasted Vegetables | Minimalist Baker Recipes

In this part of the world, we're right smack-dab in the middle of winter and oh my is it cold. Chilly temps leave me wanting nothing but hot drinks, long baths, fireside chats (yes, that's a thing), and hearty comfort food. Enter this rich red curry.

Don't let puritanical veganism put you off a plant-based diet

or about three years I flittered chaotically between vegetarianism and veganism. Adopting a draconian approach to my diet, I decided to forgo all animal products, then would chastise myself any time I slipped and ordered a meal at a restaurant that wasn't 100 per cent vegan, or if I succumbed to a 2-for-1 pizza deal with friends.

Don't let puritanical veganism put you off a plant-based diet

Puritanical veganism is not for everyone – don’t let it put you off a plant-based diet From Mike: Plant-based advocates shoot themselves in the foot far too often. This piece is an encouraging call for pragmatism over "perfection."
