A New Life Choice

It seems the more information We learn and ponder on requires us to make some kind of life choice. Do we ignore the information?.....find more research to document the information?...ignore it all together after all we are very busy people and do not have time to dwell on it......Or make a life choice that brings about change. Either way a choice is made, to do something or nothing and all choices have consequences.
After watching "Forks Over Knives", each of our family units have decided to make a change toward eating more plant based foods. This is a huge change and mind shift for some of us so we are working together to encourage and support each other.
In our next several posts we will be sharing new recipes and cookbooks, more information on documented studies, and our struggles and triumphs. Our combined households include ages 22 months to 83, a grand total of 19 life forces. This will definitely be an adventure.

What to eat out?

We seem to have difficulty finding a place to eat out that actually has more than one plant based choice you can eat, not counting salad bars. As we researching menus and make list of possibilities many of our past favorite restaurants have been eliminated or greatly restricted.  But today we have found a delightful surprise at Chef Lin's to Go.
On their menu we found a "special diet" section. #1 was Steamed Vegetable Delight. The dishes are prepared steamed with out using any oil. Of course the steamed white rice is not exactly "whole" but the plate full of a variety of steamed vegetables was delightful. Then we could choose a sauce, white, brown, hunan, or garlic which was served on the side. We ordered one with white and one with garlic, and yes i checked both sauces were plant based and yummy. So we considered it a win. Definitely an option we will be choosing again.

What restaurants have you found that are "plant based" friendly or at least have manageable eating ideas?

  1. Mexican like at places like Freebirds, Chipotle, or Qdoba. All very similar in menu, but you can get the veggies, beans and grains all in one. Very tasty and similar to what we used to eat. Yes, there may still be a bit of what we don't want in there because I am not 100% sure of what they cook everything in but tasty just the same.

Raising up the Next Generation of Faithfulness

Being blessed with six boys and three girls born into our family has given us a wonderful opportunity to raise more men and women of God. Our continual vigilance in the task of raising them to be godly sons, brothers, husbands. fathers and daughters, sisters, wives. and mothers is paramount. Through God's grace they will all be His. So let us stand strongly united together, encouraging one another to remain faithful to the task. So their hearts will always be moldable in His hands.
