A new year. A new plan.


For 2011, after struggling to come up with a singular New Years Resolution for ourselves, we decided to do break down our ideas and goals and do each of them for a set period of time. We started on January 3rd with "Not Eating Out" for 36.5 days and set out to keep the momentum going over the entire year. What we found throughout that process though, was the easier, less collaborative they got, the harder it was to keep, and the easier they were to let go. We SO enjoyed everyday of our toughest challenges - and this year, having reflected on what worked and what didn't- we've decided to bring back our favorites- push ourselves by doing less longer and keeping each other motivated along the way...


So, for 2012, please join us on our new adventure and wild ride that will be 50 days.

What's the (big) deal with soy?!

There are A LOT of rumors and questions out there about the pros and cons of consuming soy-

How strong of a protein is it? Is it better than meat? Does it raise estrogen levels? How much is too much?

Over the course of becoming vegetarian and then vegan, this is something I researched extensively, and was hoping to post about to share my knowledge and understanding.

However, I came across this recent blog post by Alicia:
http://www.thekindlife.com/post/the-deal-with-soyand-five-soymilk-alternatives
I think this post gives a great approach to incorporating soy into your diet, as well as soy alternatives and choices that she makes in her own diet.

I recommend giving it a read if you are interested in soy, a veg lifestyle or just our of curiosity!
Enjoy!
