About Me

I am a stay at home mom to a beautiful two year-old daughter, crazy about cooking and passionate about nutrition. I graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from the University of Northern Colorado and have several year’s experience working in food service. When my daughter is a little older I would like to pursue a Masters degree in plant based nutrition, but for now I am having a great deal of fun trying out my crazy ideas and recipes and learning how to blog about them.

Why am I vegan? A few years ago I watched a documentary called Food Matters. Shortly thereafter I became vegan and began working on my nutrition degree. I decided that if, during the course of my studies, I found any convincing argument proving that a plant based diet was unhealthful and that humans need animal products in order to be healthful I would stop being vegan. Well, I graduated and I am as vegan as can be. I also am healthier, thinner and more vibrant than ever before. My meals leave me feeling nourished, light and alert. I love it! There is nothing that I miss because if there were, I would find a way to make it vegan.

I believe that the foods that we choose to eat should nourish our souls as well as our bodies. For this reason, I want to share the way that I eat every day with you. I don’t like the usual clichés that surround plant-based foods (bland, boring, strange and unsatisfying). The foods that I love to prepare are the exact opposite, and I like to call my style of cooking vegan comfort food. The recipes that I share on this blog are my best attempts at creating plant-based cuisine that is not only healthful and guilt free, but also incredibly delicious and soul-deep satisfying.

Most of the recipes I share are fairly simple, week night style foods. I have an adventurous spirit, however, so I will occasionally be sharing some recipes that may take a bit more time and effort. I’ll admit that sometimes I like to do things the hard way, but I have found that cutting corners often means missing out on the best things food has to offer. That said, I will always try to make even my most extravagant very doable.

I love feedback, so please let me know if you like something (and if you don’t). I also enjoy “veganising” foods and recipes and am always looking for new challenges, so ideas in that area are always welcome.

Enjoy!
