Hello there, what's cooking this week?

Worried about nutrition on a plant-based diet?

I'll tell you straight up: if you are eating a diversity of plant foods including

• lots of vegetables,
• a cup or more of beans or bean products every day,
• and mostly whole grains,
• eating enough calories to meet your energy needs,
• plus supplementing B12,

it's unlikely that you are short on anything.

There, I just saved you an hour.

But maybe you still have concerns about plant-based nutrition, and that's totally understandable in our social context.

If you would like to equip yourself with some basic knowledge about protein, iron, and calcium to boost your confidence when it comes to feeding yourself and your loved ones, consider signing up for my upcoming free webinar:

Live webinar
​Plant-Based Meal Planning with Nutrition in Mind: Protein, Iron, and Calcium​

My educational monthly-ish webinars and workshops are intended to support members of my audience in their journey towards eating more plants and cooking at home more often. There isn't always a replay, so I hope you can make it live on Zoom!

Plan, Prep, and Relax is almost here!

After months of preparation, I finally settled on a title (!) and started recording the videos for Plan, Prep, and Relax: Plant-Based Batch Cooking for Busy Beginners. I'm super excited and relieved that the tech aspect is coming together, too.

The course will be a hands-on journey that will get you in the kitchen, batch cooking with me with cook-along videos you can follow at your own pace. When you are through, you'll know how to create your own healthy, stress-free everyday meals without recipes, based on building blocks you cook on the weekend. There'll also be lots of supporting content about meal planning and nutrition. Curious? Learn more and get on the waitlist here!

Attention gardeners!

Is this going to be the season where you start applying veganic principles to your garden? My friend Meg Kelly's course Learn Veganic is open (and I think the early-bird pricing ends today). I'm not an affiliate! Just wishing to spread the love for a cleaner, gentler way to grow food. You can also catch Meg on the Vegan Family Kitchen Podcast, right here.
