a few of my favorite things

this page is a work in progress.  i've had quite a few people ask for tips about making the transition  to a plant based diet, so i thought i'd share a few products that have helped me out with the process. i plan to update often as things come to mind and i experiment with new products and ingredients, so check back every once in a while.
