Get cozy with (plant-based) comfort meals
It's not all salads and smoothies around here

Let’s cozy up with comforting meals.
I share a lot of salads and quinoa and smoothies around here, but I don’t want you to think that eating plant-based is only about learning to love foods you once thought were weird.
Because let’s be honest, tempeh is weird…tasty, but weird.
Eating plants doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy the cozy, comforting foods and flavors that you love. And in fact, I know if you branch out a bit and try something new, you’ll find an entirely new set of plant-rich comfort foods you’ll learn to love…and crave.
🍝 + 🍲,
Kristina

Psychologists have explored a connection between food and individual memory, theorizing that well-loved comfort food dishes can evoke the same feelings of security or contentment they did when the diner was younger. (source)

GO BACK TO SCHOOL…PLANT-BASED SCHOOL!
It took me YEARS to figure out the secret to transitioning to a plant-based diet: meal planning!

For less than a fancy coffee shop coffee each month, you get my complete plant-based meal planning system, weekly meal plans, and a community of plant eaters who are also cooking up plants each and every day. Come join us!
