Family Adventures in Plant-Based Living

I’m Kerri and welcome to my little area where I can share my story, my interests and my life with you all!

I have always been a writer and I love journaling and documenting the day to day, the adventures with my kids, the small but life changing habits, and the magical moments that make life so wonderful.

So, grab your coffee, or whatever cozy drink you like and I’ll tell you a little about me and what I plan to share here.

• I live in New York with my husband and 3 kids. We live in a little beach town (yes NY has beaches! and really great ones too).
• I’ve been vegetarian since college but eat primary plant-based. I truly believe that nutrition is one of the most underutilized tools in medicine.
• I career changed from a therapist to a Registered Nurse as a mom with two kids and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made.
• I love being active with my family; walks in the neighborhood, skiing in the winter, swimming, running or surfing in the summer.

Any of these you may be more interested in feel free to ask and I would love to share what I can!

The name ‘When we eat plants’ has popped out at me as a name for …. something, I just couldn’t pinpoint what that something was yet. This has been in my mind for a while now and I feel like this blog is the perfect home for it. I have big plans for this name, which I hope you will follow it’s growth over time.

This name pretty much sums up the shift that changed my life and that I attribute with not only my physical health, but with a healthy mindset, food freedom, satisfaction in my career, feeling connected with the Earth and with something even greater. Maybe someday I’ll tell you the whole story, but for right now, just know that the simple focus of making plants and a plant-based way of living the center of my lifestyle is what started a feeling of peace that is hard to explain unless you experience it.

With this blog, I want to share the meal preps and plans for each week that keep me on track. I want to take you along on staycations or vacations and show that with a little planning or restaurant tweeking, it is not hard to live your best plant-based lifestyle out-and-about. I want to be that non-judgemental voice inviting you to take small steps in changing your nutrition and ask questions as well!

So if you are interested, I am pumped to connect with you!

We’ll talk soon,

Kerri 🙂
