Whole Food Plant Based

It’s ongoing and getting smoother — I remember years ago we picked up a recipe book touting an anti-cancer diet. I don’t recall why or how long we attempted to use it. It was that long ago. I recall it was heavy on fruits and veggies. It planted the seed, but it would be a while…

I chanced upon this combination due to visitors — We had visitors over the holidays and one of them was allergic to gluten (or at least sensitive to it).
