On this blog, you’ll find a variety of cooking inspiration. I like to focus on vegan main course recipes, but I also have lots of great soups and stews, quick and easy recipes, and a few sweet treats. I love to share little bits of plant-based and feel-good lifestyle inspiration too.

Why vegan? I had been an off-and-on again vegetarian throughout my teens and twenties. I grew up with my family’s local produce market as the background. Eating seasonally was just the way we did things.

I remember having Thanksgiving dinner at a friend’s house and the person who cooked the meal had just come back from a trip where they witnessed a mother moose and her young in the wild. The experience had moved her to try giving up meat, and the dinner reflected that. There were tons of vibrant vegetables, whole grains, and legumes to choose from.

I looked at my plate and saw 100% plant-based goodness.

I knew that I could eat and live this way forever. It honestly felt like something was being communicated to me in that moment. It changed my life! My energy was up almost immediately. The benefits were becoming more and more clear to me. I graduated from a nutritional culinary program, worked in restaurants, and volunteered at a local community food education centre before starting this blog as a hobby.
