31. Plant-based diet and meal prep tips for the curious beginner

“What’s for dinner???”  Does that question make you want to run and hide???  For a non-cook like me, the answer is an emphatic “YES!!!” It’s too easy to go to a nearby drive-thru, which I’ve done more times than I like to admit.  But what if it was possible to prepare healthy meals quickly and efficiently?   In this episode, I had a great conversation with Faith VanderMolen, whose simple yet tasty recipes give me so much hope!  Also, if you are curious about what it takes to incorporate plant-based foods into your diet or maybe even transition into a plant-based diet, this episode is for you!       Faith has a growing YouTube channel, Conscientious Eating with Faith where she has value-packed and simple how-to videos featuring her delicious and healthy vegan meals.  She also has a recipe book available for purchase on Amazon called Plant Biased: 90+ Easy Recipes and Essential Guide for the Plant-Based Beginner.   What I appreciated most about Faith is how she encouraged me that it is possible to prepare healthy meals quickly and efficiently even if you work 40 plus hours a week.    I hope you enjoy this conversation with Faith.    More about Faith: Faith is first and foremost a wife and mother. For the past six years, she and her husband have lived as ex-pats in various countries throughout Southeast Asia. The challenges associated with living overseas forced her to become creative with her cooking, and thus The Conscientious Eater was born, a place where she shares her passion for healthy, plant-based recipes and food photography. Now with two young kids, her focus has shifted to creating a holistic approach to not only her own diet but that of her entire family.   Click here to view her blog:  www.theconscientiouseater.com Connect with Faith on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconscientiouseater/ Purchase her cookbook here:  https://theconscientiouseater.com/plant-biased-ebook/                *also available on Amazon Check out her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFs0wClrCdHcAFOfD7yQFKw   Connect with Grace on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/organizewithgrace/  Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/organizewithgracefb My website is:  www.organizewithgrace.com
