THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!
Whether you are vegan or carnivorous doesn't matter; I believe homemade meals using fresh ingredients (less of the packaged, bottled, salty oily processed junk) is the most important first step towards optimal health, beauty, weight, and overall wellbeing.
Want to try a plant-based diet? Test a few of my recipes; you'll be wanting more, I just know it.
You can also follow along on social as well. In addition to food, I share lots of my mom- life and silly stuff life on instagram and facebook.

HOW I GOT HERE!
I have been obsessed with coffee, baking, and vegetarianism since I was 13 years old [that's when I decided to stop eating meat]. In high school, I was the head pastry chef at a popular coffee shop near my house. I loved baking so much that I used to invite friends over before school started every morning for homemade lattes and scones.
After suffering from autoimmune disease, I changed my diet and completely erased all of my symptoms. Using my experience in baking I began making my own unique healthy cookies and snacks that were free from eggs, gluten, dyes, preservatives, and dairy.
And there began my vegan, gluten-free, organic snack food company, Kookie Karma, in Santa Monica, CA. I simultaneously studied for my Masters in Holistic Nutrition. I ran that business full time for over 11 years.
Kookie Karma products were featured in Whole Foods Markets, Amazon, and select health food stores nationally and internationally.
Now, I’m a happy single mom of 3 kids, living in Southern California with my tribe and cooking up a storm in my little plant-based kitchen.
I have been cooking for clients, consulting for health food start-ups, journalism, photography, and recipe development for other like-minded cool companies. Last year I finished an intensive course in Plant-Based Nutrition through Cornell University online.
