Who is Sarah and what's the plantry?

A plant based diet meets a foodie.  Who would have known that there are endless opportunities out there to create a delicious and balanced plant based meal?

I for one was a believer from the start of this vegan journey.  I have been a vegetarian since age 11.  After 20 years, vegan transformation was not all too difficult.  "But what about cheese??"  Ok, fine- that part really does suck.  Adios to all those delicious cheese plates accompanied by an equally delicious bottle of wine.

What was the hardest part, you ask?...  My husband diving in head first into veganism.  Oh no- turning vegan wasn't hard for HIM per say.  It was hard for ME having him no longer eat meat, fish, dairy, etc.

I may be a long time vegetarian, but am a true foodie at heart and love to be in the kitchen creating new, involved recipes.  I would basically make over the top, indulgent dishes that took literally all day to make, just to watch him eat it in minutes and listen to the lip smacking "hmmmmms".  Or, it would bring me pleasure to go out to eat and choose something that sounded fantastic on the menu, even though I wouldn't eat it.

When I heard that he wished to start a plant based diet, and eliminate all preservatives and animal based products, I must admit, I was saddened for my own selfish reasons of not being able to cook those glutenous, oooey-goooey meals for him anymore.

And well, that brings me here.  For all of those that love to cook and are plant based, I have compiled some recipes and tips that are equally (if not more) as enjoyable and won't actually hurt your body!!
Some are more involved, some are quite simple.  Some are elegant, some are just home-style cooking.  Love the earth and what comes from it!  Celebrate it with these delicious recipes!
