I have loved food with all of my heart since I was a little girl & cooking has been part of me since a very young age. Some of my most cherished memories come from the times I have spent in the kitchen with my mother & grandmother. When I was just three years old my mom used to pull a chair up to the counter & put me in charge of preparing string beans. I would stand on the chair & snap the ends off for her with the biggest smile on my face. It was a simple task, but the beginning of something bigger. My passion for helping others soon evolved into finding a way to spread health & positivity in the least intimidating way. To do this I returned to my roots & thought about what worked for me. From my experience participating in the health food community I have noticed that terms like “plant based” & “vegan” have become controversial & emotionally charged topics for many people. My goal is to neutralize these stigmas & have plant based become synonymous with simply living a healthy life.
