Plant Based Recipe
This site was launched in late 2016, and was a result of discovering a plant-based diet could be as delicious as that consumed by an omnivore. Also, I was newly educated about the impact eating animals has on not just our health, but also our planet. And thus, PlantBasedRecipe.com was launched so I could share what I cook, and also what I learn (as much as possible from trustworthy scientific resources). I will link my sources as much as possible, but as far as the science goes, please use this site only as a compliment to your own research and consultation with professionals.
I came to eat this way after a long journey that included weight loss, and family loss. I lost a lot of weight in a rather unhealthy way initially, and found it difficult to understand why my cholesterol and blood sugar numbers were so hard to get under control. Later on, I saw my father rapidly decline from pancreatic cancer that ultimately took his life. This same disease took his father as well, and other cancers have (of course) affected our family. Not wanting to become another statistic, I have turned to preventative measures. And that is how I became interested in transitioning to a plant based diet.
Then, I watched Vegucated documentary, read Dr. Fuhrman’s Eat To Live, and quit eating animal products altogether. I have since watched numerous other documentaries that have only solidified this perspective.
