“God said, ‘see I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of the earth, and every tree with seeds and it’s fruit; you shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.’ and it was so.”
I, Michelle Loyd-Paige, started my vegan journey is 2006. I’ve been vegan or situationally vegetarian ever since. Being plant-based, aka vegan, is a spiritual discipline for me as well as an aspect of my pursuit of healthy living. This way of eating is not for everyone, I get that. However, a change to a more plant-based diet could help many people find relief from physical ailments.
In 2020, my daughter Adrian and I started a plant-based blog and posted recipes and lifestyle tips for about two years. We created some amazing food and had fun in the process. However, after two years, we decided to recalibrate. We are both still plant-based. We still love cooking and creating recipes, but rather that keeping the blog up, we are pivoting to create cookbooks. We are still creating recipes. Well, Adrian is. Me, I’m the taste tester, dishwasher, and vegetable chopper. It’s called passing the torch. The site for recipes is still active. Click the link below to
Oh, and if you are in West Michigan be on the lookout for our new line of bake goods and pop-up dinners. There are more things on the way. It is an exiting time for us.
So what does this have to do with Preach Sista!, glad you asked. Plant Based & Slay has come under the Preach Sista! umbrella as another offering under our building communities commitments. The message of Plant Based & Slay is all about living healthy as individuals so we can become and build healthy communities. In addition, we are working on plant-based cookbooks, cooking classes, and supper-clubs.
