We don't always have access to your big grocery stores, but I actually found it easier to eat whole food plant based when we travel to small towns because they have the foods that are as close to nature intended." - Kathy Davis "Your meal plan doesn't have to be, I need to cook seven different meals every single night of the week in order to create, like, this amazing meal plan. It can literally be, I'm double batching the rice on Monday so I can make fried rice on Tuesday." - Kathy Davis"You want to start with planning the things that already feel difficult in your day, and you want to approach this with an open mind that's like, okay, I can try this for a day." - Kathy DavisResources:Photography by: Dai Ross Photography Podcast Cover Art: Lilly Kate CreativeBlasphemous Nutrition on SubstackWork with AimeeDownload Kathy's Meal Planning TemplateCookbook Kathy mentioned (if you're still thinking about Cajun Hummus Hassleback Potatoes): https://amzn.to/3IU7fFJContact Kathy Davis:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/veginspiredVegInspired Community Facebook Group: https://www.veginspired.com/foodiesFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/veginspiredLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathyallendavis/Website: https://www.veginspired.comCHAT ME UP: let me know what's on your mind by texting here!
