Hi, I’m Stacey!
I started this blog in 2015 so I could have a place to keep all of my favorite healthy recipes that I was creating. When I first moved out of my parent’s house, I was lost when it came to cooking.
I had no idea what I was doing.
When I lived at home, my mom cooked all of our meals for us, so, everything food-related was brand new to me. Thankfully, I had accidentally absorbed all of my mom’s healthy cooking tips that she had tried to teach me over the years. Learning to cook was fun for me, it let me be creative in a new way.
Fast forward a few years…
I’m a newlywed food blogger who loves to cook and I want to show people that it’s simple and fun to cook healthy meals at home.
Over the last year, my husband and I have transitioned to a vegan diet. We believe that all life is precious and we want to stand up for the innocent animals that can’t defend or speak for themselves. The best way that we feel we can do this is by eating a vegan diet and sharing the delicious recipes that we create with the world!
Many people think that following a vegan diet means that food will be flavorless, dry, or boring. Or, that you have to eat a salad for every meal.
This is a huge, ginormous, big fat lie!
Eating vegan means eating delicious, flavorful, filling, recipes that have been veganized*.
I love macaroni and cheese and there is no reason to give it up just because I don’t eat dairy anymore.
***Veganized means to take a classic recipe that everyone knows and loves, and turn it vegan! Like, macaroni and cheese, broccoli cheese soup, etc.
I share all types of vegan recipes on my blog– mostly easy dinner recipes, a few dessert recipes, and lots of holiday recipes. I share the recipes that we actually eat. Nothing fancy, but always healthy, easy to prepare, and delicious.
Check out this list to get started –> 115 30-Minute Easy Vegan Dinner Recipes!

- Creamy broccoli cheese soup
- Jackfruit mushroom stroganoff
- Bomb ass buffalo cauliflower tacos,
- Cashew cream spinach artichoke dip

Please follow along with me on our journey of creating new vegan recipes, getting married, going on adventures at Disney World, hopefully having kids one day, and just living a happy life! I’m so glad you’re here!
