Research shows that it makes more and more sense to focus our diets on plant based foods. Although Cook for Your Life is not a strictly vegan or vegetarian site, we focus on plant-based... dishes. Plants bring phytonutrients and antioxidants to our plates, which can lead to healthier outcomes if we eat the recommended 5 servings of fresh fruits and veggies per day. Check out these vegan kitchen basics, and you will be taking a step towards conserving both your health and our planet’s resources.
