about me

Hello and welcome to my corner of the universe! Thank you for your interest in learning more about me.

My name is Nicolette.

I live near San Francisco with my husband in a tiny studio apartment. I studied English at the University of San Francisco and currently work full time at a law firm.

On this blog, I’ll be sharing my love for being in the kitchen. I hope to convince you plant-based meals can be simple, indulgent, and much more than a boring salad. Honestly, almost never a salad if it’s up to me.

I went plant-based overnight in 2016 after learning the impact a standard American diet has on animals, the planet and our health. Before then, I did not have much cooking experience or a desire to be in the kitchen. Discovering the world of plant-based eating really inspired me to try new things and learn how to cook.

If I’m not here blogging about food, you’ll probably find me somewhere reading about personal finance (any other budgeting nerd out there?), drinking coffee, watching Gilmore Girls (team Logan) or liking photos of Goldendoodles on Instagram.

Thanks for hanging out with me! I am so happy to have you around.
