Whole grains are a staple of the plant-based diet. There are so many options including brown rice, wild rice, quinoa, barley, steel cut oats and the list goes on. One of the challenges when beginning a plant- based lifestyle is learning to prepare foods that may be new to you. I still have some days when my wild rice is supper mushy 😩, BUT the good news is that it gets better. Be patient with yourself and keep trying 💪🏾. An instapot and rice cooker can be helpful IJS.

The legalization of adult-use cannabis is an enormous shift in public policy. The regulatory framework outlined in the MRTA is currently under development and will require input from communities and stakeholders throughout the state. The Office of Cannabis Management needs to draft and issue regulations to implement the law before adult-use sales can begin. However, while there are currently no stores open to purchase adult-use cannabis, the possession and use of cannabis for adults 21 years of age and older in accordance with the MRTA, is now legal.
