Remember the old days, you seasoned cooks, when the Wednesday following Labor Day was the first one after school started? Alas, no more, but now fall is in full swing, with a broad-reaching request from Terence F.

He began, “In the last 24 hours I have heard from two different people about the benefits of a plant-based diet for treating a variety of medical conditions, as well as to lose weight. Is this news accurate, and if so, how do you do that and where do you begin? I would like to begin by having a menu and recipes for a breakfast meal, a lunch meal on the go and a dinner meal. Also, what foods are absolute no-nos?”
