Hello you guys! Happy Easter, I hope that you are enjoying this time celebrating the resurrection! It’s a beautiful time to reflect on God’s grace & kindness for sending His son to be the propitiation for our sins. Above all things this precious Gospel message is what brings me the greatest of joys! So enjoy this day meditating and thinking on this wonderful truth : “I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.” 1 Corinthians 15:3-5 This meaning that Jesus is alive forevermore interceding on behalf of those that repent & put their faith & trust in Him.

Hi & welcome to Joy with Plants! My name is Milly & I follow a High Carb - Low Fat, No Oil Plant Based Diet.

I have been Plant Based for over 10 months now but have been Whole Food Plant Based for 5 months. It has been the best decision I have made for my health and my life. I love this way of eating and I want to share how you can love it too. It has restored joy in my life as I had struggled with food for many years. For the first time in my life food is not something I am enslaved to but a blessing to be enjoyed.

I’ve learned to eat delicious food without counting calories or portion control. I am left satisfied and full with more than enough energy to focus on the things I love!

In a month we budget anywhere from $250-$300 for groceries. This is enough for both my husband & I for the entire month. The first Saturday of each month we usually spend around $130 to buy extra bulk items such as canned beans, rice, dry goods & such. Some months less than others depending if we still have some stocked in our pantry.
