The other day, a friend of mine posted this on my facebook page:

Melissa! I have a couple of questions for you. 1) Do you know of any good vegan cookbooks and 2) Do you know of any blogs or other resources? I’m playing with the idea of going vegan but definitely need more resources to help me feel confident in my food choices, etc. Thanks! and how’s life? 

It probably goes without saying that I was giddy with excitement when I saw this message.   I decided to put a little starter kit together for her and for anyone else who might be teetering on the edge of a plant based life style.

Before I dive into some of my favorite resources, let me reassure you–if you eat a variety of plants (fruits, veggies, greens, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds) throughout your day/week, you WILL get enough protein as well as all the other beautiful nutrients your gorgeous bodies needs to thrive!  Have fun!
