Living Whole Food Plant Based

Living Whole Food Plant Based Went WFPBNO 2/2016 & we never looked back. We’ve lost over 200lbs & are off all our meds. Let me tell you what... IT WORKED!! We didn't track anything.

We are a family of 3, living in Montana, changing our lives and our health for the better by learning to live Whole Foods Plant-based. This page is a collection of information we have found as we journey along our WFPB lifestyle along with bits and pieces of our own personal journey. We started our WFPB journey in February of 2016 after watching Forks Over Knives to see if we could get the Hubster

off his blood pressure and cholesterol medicines, not even thinking about the weight loss really but of course we both needed to drop some serious weight also. Most of all we wanted to see if we could change my Husbands chronic illness direction. So far we have lost together over 200 lbs and a bunch of medicines (we are both off ALL our medicines in fact) in the process. Mom and Dad are the ones doing the losing and the teenage son is along for the ride, happily maintaining, enjoying the yummy food and all the benefits he gets along with us. He now has a very bright health future ahead of him. We didn't count anything. We didn't portion anything. Simply put we eat as whole a plant food as we can. We don't drink our meals. We learned the difference between good carbs and bad carbs. Embraced the potato. Dropped the oil and of course any animal products of any kind. Lastly we keep the processed food to a minimum and became obsessive label readers lol. Learn what your ingredients actually are. If you cant pronounce it or you do not know what it is, it put it back. Learn to cook. It's now going to be a part of your life. You can fight it and fail or embrace it and succeed. The choice is yours =0]

We are so excited for our future and to see where this lifestyle is going to take us. So far, besides all the health benefits, we this lifestyle has seen to get us naturally into gardening and who knows whats next! LOL

Journey along with us as we life better lives feeling better, doing better and living better by living Whole Foods Plant-Based.

We are finally wrapping up the kitchen!! Here is my "Stove Side"... Guess I have no excuse to not get to cooking now lol

I would note only one thing in the before photo (top). The 2 cabinets you see in the dark stain actually were not stained before we started on the kitchen. We had started staining cabinets when I remembered to take a before photo. So pretend those are still raw unfinished wood.

The only thing I would add to the after photo ( bottom ) is that the dark cabinet on the left still has to be replaced and then moved as its just kind of sitting in there weird but that will be this weekend. It will look the same color though so still same idea. Oh and the new butcher block counter that goes under the rice cooker in the right is here we just have to cut it and install it but again thats this weekend. So pretend the oak one you see there is the new acacia butcher block there instead. 😜

So I think it’s safe to say it looks a wee bit better now. At least I think so. Finished? No we still have to live in it a while to get all the “what goes where’s” handled but the basics are done and thats enough for now.

We had a big bowl green salad for lunch today and tried this salad dressing. It was so good! Highly recommend. If you are looking for an "Italian" type dressing thats not "pucker your face off" but still with lots of flavor give this one a try.

Fat-free, oil-free dressing full of zesty Italian flavor! You'll love this low-calorie dressing on salads, veggies, pasta salad & more.

New kitchen counters are in! They look so pretty!

Months shouldn't start on a Friday lol After a couple of days of trying to find my feet again I full got back on eating right on Monday. Its always amazing how fast WFPB works. I already feel so much better and have lost 9lbs of the weight I packed back on over the last couple years. Cant say I am not still hurting but in fairness I also started working out a little bit and I am pretty sure thats what is hurting more than the normal aches and pains lol Honestly just feel better mentally to be back to doing what I know I need to do. Plus OMG the food this past week has been wonderful. "falling off" had never been about the taste, it had always been about the lack of connivence. What I wouldn't have given over the past 2 ish years for a WFPB food truck or restaurant. Anyways just glad when I needed it to be there WFPB was and is still there and still doing what it promised to do.

With that here is next weeks menu plan -ish. I say -ish because we have some from the previous week I still need to finish making and then we will move into this list of meals. I never plan to make all the ones I find but this gives me the ingredients in the house and options to choose from to narrow things down. Though I know for sure that Cajun Cabbage and Rice is happening because its one of my favorite recipes.

Ahhhhhhh full happy belly. This was delish! I never used to like to eat seeds and nuts etc in my food. It was fine as a snack but in meals? ew.. but eating WFPB opened a whole new world of food combos that now are just normal and I love that. We decided when we started all those years ago we would try everything once. Rarely have we found something that we didnt like that we thought we would. Anyways long story long this was delish! I added spinach, bell pepper and carrots along with 1 can of chickpeas. We basically doubled everything but the sesame seeds, almonds and sunflower seeds. I used orange juice concentrate instead of orange juice and didn't add any water to turn it into "juice". My house smells like roasted nuts and seeds. Its delightful!

Here is the recipe https://monkeyandmekitchenadventures.com/oil-free-crunchy-cabbage-slaw-with-orange-tahini-dressing/

Hope you ate well today too!

EEEEE I am so tickled with my new oven. I havent had a full sized convection oven before. I do LOVE my Breville but its small and I rarely roasted veggies in it because.. its small LOL so tonight was roasted veggie night and it cooked so fast! I should have timed it but I do know it was a crap done faster than my old oven thats for sure LOL Plus a lot more uniform in its roasting. Anyways just had to share din din tonight. We also had a tahini drizzle that went over it. So good. I cant wait to try bread in it EEEEE so excited!!

So yup that was dinner. What did you have?

I am making Caesar Salad for dinner tonight and the recipe calls for baked tofu. Now the tofu version that comes with the recipe sound delish but but BUT I found this a couple months ago when we were just starting the kitchen reno and saved it because it sounds SO FREAKING GOOD https://avirtualvegan.com/nutritional-yeast-tofu/ I love nutritional yeast. Like could eat it with a spoon love so when I sat this I was ALL OVER MAKING IT ASAP. Which turned out to be um... several months later lol It makes me think of cheesy buttery croutons for the salad lol. Anyways Caesar Salad and Nutritional Yeast Breaded Tofu for dinner tonight.

What are you having?
Felicia ❤️ 🥗

Crispy, golden Nutritional Yeast Tofu! Quick & easy to make in an oven or air fryer. Add to a multitude of dishes or enjoy as a tasty snack!

New oven and stove top work great! OMGosh you guys its a dream to cook on. I am so excited to finish getting the rest of my kitchen put back together so I can get some serious cooking in. Never EVER thought I would say that LOL It took me longer to find all the stuff to cook the meal with than it did to actually cook the meal. I dont know why but I have never cooked my sweet potatoes like this recipe calls for ( you cut them in half and place them face side down on the parchment paper). They cook fast and are so good. Anyways just wanted to let you know this recipe was delish! I had never tried Ras el Hanout spice before but gosh its good. If you can find it get it, if you cant she has a recipe for making your own.

I left the oil out, used our own homemade dairy free yogurt and added mushrooms and a sweet white onion to the chickpea part.

Questions just give a holler.
Later peeps!

Testing out my new oven for the first time ( well second since I had to burn off the new already ) so I thought what better way to do that than TATERS! LOL going to make this for dinner tonight https://www.feastingathome.com/healthy-moroccan-stuffed-sweet-potatoes Well if I can find my sheet pans. Our Kitchen still isnt fully put back together yet hahaha. They are around here some place... Anyways... I will leave out the oil and use our homemade dairy free yogurt. What are you cooking up today?

Have a great one!

A delicious recipe for Moroccan Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with chickpeas, herby & yogurt Sauce. An easy, healthy vegetarian weeknight dinner.

Just gotta have someone come hook it up to the gas and I will finally be back to cooking! LOL Never thought I would be excited about that. Honestly cooking is probably the part I like least about WFPB haha I mean I get it I have to do it but I would really rather be the one that just eats it. This should make the cooking at least a bit nicer. I can fit (3) 7 quart dutch ovens across the front. EEEE I am so excited about that. Not that I actually plan to do that BUT I COULD IF I WANTED TOO! Anyways jsut wanted to show I got it out of the box finally 😜

Hope your having a great day!
