Lil Intro :)

I have decided to start this little blog so that I can easily share my recipes and food wins/woes with all my friends. I live in a small city in Southern Ontario where the idea of Veganism is still a relatively new concept (for most). I get a lot of questions from people wondering about veganism; where to start, how to make delicious meals totally plant-based, where to shop, which restaurants to go to etc. The truth is, I am still just a baby in this fabulous world of Veganism and I am learning more each day. My goal here is to share all of the information I possibly can with the world and continue to learn and grow.

Disclaimer from the blog author: I have been cooking for my entire life but have had no formal training aside from school cooking classes, volunteering, trial and error and good ol’ fashion learning from my Mother, Grandmother and other wonderful people I have come to know! I also credit my partner for showing me a whole world of plant-based eating and has a huge part in my conversion from vegetarian to full-blown vegan. Without him I would be a lost puppy!

More about me!

As a child I was always particularly sensitive towards animals. My mom would always tell me I got my sympathetic side from my Father. I always had pets and loved every animal that I came across, big or small. My affinity for animals at a young age sparked a 5 year bout of Pescatarianism. I was probably around 9 years old when I decided I would no longer eat meat. Being raised in the time that I did, I had a lot of access to information and I utilized the internet to become educated on the plight of factory-farmed animals. Naturally horrified, I swore off meat, which I think is really impressive for someone so young living in a family of all meat-eaters. However I am not perfect and throughout my teen years, I lost sight of my morals.

It took a while before I started a Pescatarian diet again. Entering my twenties, I was becoming painfully aware of the error of my ways, and with the rise of popularity in Veganism, I began to feel terrible for not being more conscious of what I was putting in my body. I decided to gradually eliminate dairy products and then eggs until it I was left with one last thing: Seafood. Fish was always my go to dish for protein and substance. I was raised on seafood and although I loved it, I knew that I had to stop. With a lot of help and Ocean documentaries, I made the leap into full Veganism. 

I have not looked back since! Aside from a couple accidental slip-ups I have been living this vegan lifestyle for over a year now! I am living proof that even the laziest of folks can be vegan if they just commit to education and making better choices. It’s not a competition and it can certainly be a lot of fun. I have gotten a kick out of veganizing some of the most unvegan dishes around and look forward to sharing all that I know with anyone looking to make better choices for themselves, animals and the environment! Happy cooking :)
