Did you make New Year resolutions for 2018?

Travis and I did! We plan to…

  • Get up earlier
  • Go on a walk together around the neighborhood every morning
  • Watch less TV
  • Spend more quality time together doing unplugged activities
  • Grow our businesses

I know that losing weight and eating healthier meals is an important resolution for many people, so I thought that putting together a list of low-carb vegan recipes would be really helpful. It’s so convenient to have a list of tried and true vegan recipes when you need dinner inspiration.

However, I don’t get extreme about it. If Travis wants to eat a whole plate of sauteed baby bok choy (his favorite!) that’s totally fine with me!

I work in so many low-carb, cruciferous vegetables into our diet that it really doesn’t concern me at all if we want to have our favorite potato-based broccoli cheese soup as the main course for dinner or if we eat too much creamy mac and cheese when we’re craving comfort food.

On a daily basis, we try to eat as many of the following items as possible…
