Notable Quotes:
- “When I made the switch to more whole foods, I was worried, because here we are traveling. We don’t always have access to your big grocery stores, but I actually found it easier to eat whole food plant based when we travel to small towns because they have the foods that are as close to nature intended.” – Kathy Davis
- “Your meal plan doesn’t have to be, I need to cook seven different meals every single night of the week in order to create, like, this amazing meal plan. It can literally be, I’m double batching the rice on Monday so I can make fried rice on Tuesday.” – Kathy Davis
- “You want to start with planning the things that already feel difficult in your day, and you want to approach this with an open mind that’s like, okay, I can try this for a day.” – Kathy Davis
