I’m Erin, I am a mom to one energetic little boy and a wife to a very hungry husband! I love cooking and feeding people healthy nourishing meals. I like to practice yoga at least a few times a week attempting to keep my mind and body in check, which I feel really helps keep me grounded in this sometimes crazy world. I have been eating a vegan diet for around 8 years and it all started because I had acne. My doctor decided it was a good idea to put me on prescription meds for it and after taking them for over a year I decided there had to be another answer and that curiousity opened a whole new world for me. I really had never put too much thought into what I ate. I tried not to eat junk food and worked out but I thought a can of tuna was a healthy lunch. Everything in a grocery store must be “food” right?
After switching to a vegan diet I had some highs and lows, eating really well at times and also eating junk but since becoming pregnant with my first little babe it really inspired me to dedicate and learn exactly what our bodies need and how to start this little guy off on the right track in life. After reading every plant based/vegan book out there (I may be a book hoarder) I decided to take the Plant Based Nutrition Course at ecornell to really help my understanding and received a certificate in Plant based nutrition for it.
For many of you that also follow Dr Colin T Campbell you will know he recommends to avoid oil, which we try to do as much as possible but have yet to really master that one. All of my recipes will be free of meat, dairy and eggs with an attempt to go gluten free and sugar free when I have the option. I know that may seem a little insane for those of you that are just starting out but I promise you, it IS possible to make delicious nourishing meals without sacrificing any flavour.
Our family travels for my husbands job which is currently playing hockey so I will fill you in on following a vegan lifestyle where ever we may be.
I also have a slight obsession with photography and LOVE a good sunset pic. Can you tell ?? Ever since I took a workshop on using my DSLR I am hooked!! I use a Canon T2i with a 50mm lens which I am currently very happy with. Now I just have to get better with actually printing them out and doing something with all of thees pictures afterwards.Thanks for stopping by! Would love to hear from you if you have any questions!
