Hi there! I am so happy you are here! Since you stopped on by this page, I guess I should tell you a little bit about me...My name is Kayla and I have a passion for creating delicious and simple food using whole ingredients. I spent my life eating fast and quick meals that were not super nutritious, fast forward to a few years ago when health issues forced me to make a change in my diet. Since then, I have fallen in love with creating good for you food and finding ways to share my journey with others. I focus on simple ingredients and whole foods but allowing time to find fun in cooking. Plant based eating doesn't have to be boring and I am here to show you that you can still have fun in the kitchen and eat nutritiously.
Some of my favorites are this Vegan Cauliflower Mac and Cheese and this Vegan and Gluten-Free Skillet Lasagna.
When I am not in the kitchen, I love to spend time out in my garden or relaxing with my husband Michael and our two dogs, Gunner and Jax. I grew up in the Central Valley of California. I left to live in Monterey Bay for 8 years which is where Michael and I met. We have been together since 2015, safe to say we like each other at least a little! We have two precious rescue pups who take up most of our time. Gunner is five and is an English Bulldog/German Shepherd mix (How does that happen?!) Jax is four and is a Great Pyrenees/Pit mix. We moved back to the Central Valley in 2019 and have been enjoying our lives here, meeting new people, and discovering new passions.
I love to listen to podcasts so if you have recs, drop them in the comment section below! My current favorite are Crime Junkie and The British History Podcast.
I am an enneagram 3 wing 4 and have an undying love of The Real Housewives franchise. I enjoy reading and finding ways to serve in my community. When I am not sharing recipes, I work full time at a non profit finding ways to help support our community in the Central Valley of California.
Here's some cute pics of my puppies
