My Story I got my bachelors degree in psychology and worked in the mental health field for nonprofit organizations for about 6 years. I worked with people with severe mental illnesses and complex medical issues. I used cooking and baking as a coping skill, a way to relax, if you will. Then I got some health issues and had to leave the field and take care of myself. During my time off, I ended up catering my moms wedding (which had literally no stove, no refrigerator, no microwave and only a sink in the bathroom, and a teeny space). The creativity and problem solving to feed a large group of people with elegance was such a fun challenge! I realized at that time that perhaps there's something to this life change that I'm missing. Perhaps using my love of cooking and baking was my new career path. I was also still working on my health this past year when I found Veganism. My fiancé, Greg, jumped into the change, as well. Veganism has a negative stigma. Through my recipes and baked goods, I hope to change that. It doesn't have to be gross. It's not all made from soy. You can be healthy and get your taste bud needs satisfied. That's where my etsy shop came from. Slowly, I have been perfecting and adding my baked goods to my store. Now I have shared all of my Secret Recipes from a Vegan Bakery in my ecookbook. I hope you enjoy all the recipes I share here too. These are real recipes that I make and eat. Nothing fancy, nothing expensive, nothing weird. Just delicious home cookin'! Side note: I'm a cat enthusiast.
