A Little Bit About Me

When I adopted this lifestyle, I lost 45 pounds, got rid of some chronic pain and found that I wasn't getting sick very often. So many benefits! But it took a lot of time and effort.

There was so much to learn about and for awhile I felt that just when I was finding something that worked, I'd read something new and learn that maybe my first choice wasn't so healthy. Let's face it - there is an enormous amount of information and research about vegan lifestyles out there, and it can get pretty overwhelmng!

With the help of my fabulous hubby, I began to find shortcuts, quick recipes, easier lifestyle solutions, and reliable vendors that helped me to stay on track with my lifestyle choice, be available to help with homework, and get to work on time!

I created this site so I could share these solutions and save you some valuable time!
