About

Welcome to my kitchen! My lifelong love for food and cooking led me to become a master in the kitchen. I love to share my passion with others by creating delicious, plant-based meals for friends and family. After spending years as an educator and self-trained chef, I started the blog and podcast, The Plant-Powered Pantry – a place where small changes in our pantry can make a big difference in our health. The response to my cooking, writing, and podcast was so positive, I found myself wanting to bring it to more people. My faith and work in various ministries coupled with my love for plant-based cooking, led me to write Faith & Fasting: Scripture & Plant-Based Recipes to Nourish Your Body & Soul.

My work has been featured on Table Talk: A Place to Gather, Guide & Go and Faithfully Fit Friday with Bayside Chapel. When I am not creating recipes or podcasting, I can be found running, reading, enjoying a cup of coffee with girlfriends, or shopping for the perfect avocado. My husband, Eric and I live in Stafford Township, New Jersey.
