Welcome to my cooking blog about eating simply and living well. Over the course of 15 years, I have journaled over 600 easy, delicious and nourishing recipes. My collection of fresh weekly recipes are mostly vegetarian (a lot of them are gluten-free and vegan) with an occasional seafood recipe every now and then. The recipes are family-friendly and are perfect for work lunches, weeknight dinners and weekend gatherings.
