Welcome to Nourished by Plants, my love letter to veganism!

I started on my vegan path more than a dozen years ago and as with many paths we walk along in life, it has taken twists and turns. Along the way I have learned so many things and continue to evolve. You will find many things on this site including information on health, fitness, recipes, as well as general information that I like to share. I have done a deep dive into so many of the aspects of living a vegan lifestyle and they all are embedded into who I am.

What is true for me now and has been true throughout my vegan journey is that I am an ethical vegan first. I came to this way of living because of a deep empathy that is core to who I am and the belief that I cannot cause harm to another living being. The secondary reason for my choice is for health…I want to live the best life that I can and eating this way has me physically feeling the best I have ever felt. What I have discovered along this path is that I can draw people together and bring joy by cooking delicious meals that are incredibly healthy and truly the most flavorful meals that my family and friends can enjoy. If you join us at our home for a meal, I promise that you won’t feel as if anything is lacking.
