Before I go any further, I'll reveal how I stay
within my food budget.
My priority is to eat high quality plant-based whole foods and limit processed foods to a bare minimum.
Sustainability is important to me and I strive toward zero waste. Consider this. Eco-friendly habits save money and make smart planetary sense. For more about zero food waste read How to Start a Zero Food Waste Lifestyle and Why it Matters.
There are many plant-based food recipes, and it's challenging to pick just a few. The ones I've selected are those I consider some of the best!
