Oh my goodness, where did 2019 go?

We love this tradition of showcasing the best recipes of each year. We started our foodie blog at the beginning of January 2018 and with each wrap-up of the year it is always amazing to see how far we’ve come.

We are starting our third year of blogging – YAY! – and we are so blessed to be able to share our passion of Whole Food Plant Based cooking with you!

We can’t believe all that we’ve accomplished in 2019:

•  162 Recipes
•  315 Instagram Posts
•  928 Facebook Posts
•  51 Weekly Menus

We have had an amazing year of firsts behind the scenes.  Ameera and Michael purchased their first home, as well as, expecting their first baby in the spring of 2020. We are all super excited for our upcoming adventures, and looking forward to sharing it with you!

We love our Whole Food Plant Based Community. We have made tons of friends who are like family.  We enjoy creating healthy recipes and sharing them with you, our readers.  You are the reason we do what we do.  Developing recipes makes us happy and hearing how much you enjoy them fills our hearts! It sounds so “cheesey,” but it is so true! We appreciate you all SO much!

Before we ring in the new year…
