you’ll find a variety of cooking inspiration ON THIS SITE, WITH A STRONG focus on vegan dinner recipes, I also have lots of great soups and stews, quick and easy OPTIONS, and a few sweet treats. I love to share bits of feel-good life inspiration too in my weekend roundup.

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 it.

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

After sitting down, I looked at my plate and saw 100% plant-based everything.

I knew right then that I could eat and live this way forever. It truly felt like something was being communicated to me in that moment, and it changed my life! As I continued, my energy was up and other benefits slowly made their way in. 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. Now, with an annual readership of over 2.5 million, I bring vegan inspiration to life full time.
