Hi! I'm Kate, and this is my dog, Cookie. Welcome to our blog, where I share wholesome recipes that are approachable, nourishing, and delicious.

I started this blog in 2010 as a way to share my favorite vegetarian recipes with friends and family. What began as a simple hobby has grown into a community of food lovers who believe that cooking should be accessible, sustainable, and joyful.

My recipes focus on fresh, whole ingredients and simple techniques that anyone can master. Whether you're a seasoned cook or just starting out, you'll find recipes here that will inspire you to get into the kitchen and create something delicious.

My Approach to Food

I believe in cooking with ingredients that are good for both our bodies and our planet. Most of my recipes are vegetarian, with plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. I focus on seasonal produce, whole grains, and plant-based proteins that satisfy and nourish.

Food should bring people together, and that's what this blog is all about. Whether you're cooking for family, friends, or just yourself, I hope these recipes help you create meaningful moments around the table.

Beyond the Blog

When I'm not in the kitchen, you can find me hiking with Cookie, tending to my garden, or exploring local farmers markets. I'm passionate about sustainable living and supporting local food systems.

Thank you for being part of this community. I'm so grateful to share this journey with you!
