Wow, it’s been over six months since I cleaned up my diet and moved towards a whole foods plant-based plan. And I owe you guys an update! To recap, since the heart attack, I no longer cook with oil of any type, have cut out refined sugars, and focus on whole plant foods. Yes, I […]
Folks with Italian heritage are probably familiar with Pasta e Fagioli. It’s a staple in many Italian homes. Its name means pasta and beans which are the main ingredients.
