Welcome to my blog.  My name is Robin and I’m the plant-based, vegan & sometimes gluten free foodie/blogger, recipe creator behind this website.  I love traveling the world, riding my Peloton and lifting weights.  I’m a former ultra marathoner with a replacement knee along with a few other fun screws here and there. I believe food should fuel your life and your passions while being approachable.   I’m a former carnivore transitioned to vegan for over nine years now.  

I have had the pleasure to be a contributor to the former Lucy Activewear Lucy Let’s Go blog – creating exclusive recipes and sharing my favorite workout wear.  I am a contributor to VegaOne and Honest Cooking.  I work with several companies to create recipes for their products including Maille U.S., Colavita and Bob’s Redmill to name a few. 

My food journey has been an evolution since I started my blog about 12 years ago.  I started to change the way I was eating and migrated over to being a vegetarian.  It wasn’t for any grand reason other than I sat down to dinner and couldn’t put a piece of meat in my mouth. From that point forward it was like a switch was turned off and I never looked back. That was over 9 years ago. Then in January 2014 I was battling many stomach issues.  My husband suggested giving up dairy to see if it would help and it did.  I’ve been vegan ever since.

You will notice a migration of recipes on my blog from full on carnivores/dairy filled to vegan/gluten free.  I wanted to provide some history on the journey and my migration to make more sense of the recipe compilation.  My hope is that everyone can incorporate some vegan/vegetarian dishes into their family’s diet.  I firmly believe food is healing and medicinal.

First Marathon completed.

Then the power of food really impacted my daughter. My oldest was battling cystic acne for about 4 years. It was suggested to remove gluten and dairy from her diet after many harsh topicals and prescriptions failed to work.  Within 10 months her face is clear and acne free.  I also removed gluten from my diet to support her and I’ve felt wonderful.
