Shared a really good vegetarian meal with some "hard-core" carnivore family members. Was careful not to over promote the "vegetarian aspect" rather to promote how delicious can also equal healthy!

I am enjoying the process of finding new and delicious ways to prepare meals w/o meat. Got a spiralizer to up my prep game and add interest to presentation.

I have found that implementing small actions into my daily life has been so easy and rewarding. Mindfully planning my day to include bus, bike or walk options, meal prep, just a lot of being aware how much one person can do to make and impact.
