Hello, World! ☺️ I'm Craig!
Transitioning to a plant-based diet is a journey for me. As Mark Twain once quipped about quitting smoking, "I've done it a thousand times!" Trying to adopt a fully plant-based lifestyle has felt like that at times.
I started this account to share my love of cooking as well as some of my own experiences as I move towards a fully plant-based lifestyle. What began as a rollercoaster ride over the years has led me to a wonderful community here on Instagram.
I've connected with such genuine, like-minded people who share interests in plant-based eating, nutrition, wellness, and enjoying life. Even if it's just exchanging a few words some days (my social battery runs low!), it brings me joy. It also saves my family from hearing my rando thoughts on things like why I think all pancakes should have cooked, whole grain wheat berries mixed in the batter (my child will never forgive me for making them this way, but it makes so much sense!!!).
I'm carrying my mantra from last year into this one: "It's better to be enthusiastic in the right direction than frustrated with perfection." This simple phrase has *significantly* improved the amount of time I spend spiraling and overthinking my food choices.
Thank you for joining me! I appreciate you all for sharing your food, thoughts, and passions. Here's to a happy, healthy 2024!
Wishing you well! 🙏
Craig
