About

Who are we?  And what kind of grammar is "Made from BEAN"?

We are two normal, suburban mums, with full-time jobs outside the home, families and the usual repertoire of excuses/explanations for our formerly terrible food and exercise habits.  Learning that not being vegan and being more or less totally sedentary was probably going to interfere with our plans to live forever has inspired us to make big changes.  Hopefully our non-perfect lives, our being works-in-progress in all ways, and our being extremely time-poor will cause us to have quite a few helpful tips for making a healthier lifestyle fit your own busy and chaotic life!  If we can do it, seriously, anyone can.

The story of Made from BEAN:

Yum Cha, Boxing Day 2008.  Us to the nice waiter at our local Yum Cha: "this tofu is awesome.  How do you get it like that?"  Him: "It's made from BEAN!".   Enough said.
