Intro

Welcome to my blog. My name is Debbie, aka the veggie monster. I am a mother to 4 young rambunctious children. (2 boys, 2 girls) I have a great husband and a great circle of friends. I have a passion for working out and eating healthy. My whole life I have wanted to be a vegetarian but it has always been so hard since it is not the social norm. Then I became a wife and a mother and my goal of becoming a vegetarian seemed even further away. Steve, my husband, loves meat and so do my kids. Just talking about vegetables makes them wrinkle up their noses. So I made everyone happy by providing them with food they liked. Well, along the way I have been learning more about health and the benefits of eating a plant-based diet along with real food (non-processed food). Along the way I have taken baby-steps in changing the way my family ate. Through this blog I hope to show others how they also can start eating and feeling healthier. I now eat a 90% vegan diet but still provide my family with dairy and eggs. They are still transitioning to this new lifestyle. Follow along with me on this wonderful journey to better health.
