How do I stay Plant Based when my family still eats meat?

I know a lot of you are wondering how in the world do I do it and what keeps me motivated to stay on the Plant Based journey when my family still eats meat?

Well, it’s easy for me because I got to a place where my taste buds started to change and I didn’t want meat anymore so one day I just stopped!

I was a Pescatarian at first, meaning that I still ate fish but then one day, I didn’t want that anymore either so I completely went all Plant Based and I have NEVER went back!

My husband eats Plant Based with me sometimes but my two sons are not there yet, they still eat meat and that’s their preference just like it’s anyone else’s but I just choose to be Plant Based and I have no regrets!

I cook for them all the time and they often ask, how do I get my seasonings just right on meat when I don’t eat it?

Well, I just eyeball it and remember how I use to season food when I did eat meat years ago.

I still enjoy amazing food just like meat eaters do!

I just cook two separate meals and sometimes I cook my family Plant Based foods and they can’t even tell the difference!

For example, when I cook spaghetti, instead of using ground beef, I use Pecan meat and it taste so good and like I said before, they can’t even tell, it’s just a mental thing!

If I want to grill burgers, I just make me a delicious veggie or Black Bean Burger!

If I want pizza, I just choose a cauliflower crust with lots of veggies on top and I make my own Butternut Cheese Sauce to go on top so these are just a few examples but the possibilities are endless!

Plant based just means that I don’t eat any animal products or animal byproducts I use substitutions instead.

The food is still cooked the same way, you just change up the ingredients!

I feel that it’s more healthier for me being Plant Based because the ingredients are coming from the earth so being Plant Based allows you to take advantage of God’s natural provision!

Would it be easier if everyone in my house hold was on this Plant Based journey too?

Yes, of course but I have a made up mind about it so that's how I can stay Plant Based even though, I may have to cook some chicken 🐔 for them.

We must remember that being Plant Based was God’s original eating plan for us in the garden (Genesis 1:29)

and then He gave permission to eat clean animals after the flood with Noahs Ark (Genesis 9:3) but I have just decided to go with God’s original plan for us and again I have no regrets!

And now my Plant Based lifestyle has gone over to my hair and body products!

I said, if I am going to eat Plant Based, my beauty products that I make and use should also be Plant Based.

I know that this lifestyle is not one that everyone is going to follow but it's the way that I live my life, it's the ministry that I have been given and those that are supposed to be here with me, will be with me and those who are not will go on and find out what works for them.

I think it’s just a mind thing for people but I promise you, you are not missing out on anything when you decide to go Plant Based!

I made my mind up years ago that this was the route that was best for me and I can cook meat all day but my decision is still the same and nothing or no one can change that!
