What can you expect from this blog??

Food with Feeling is all about creating simple, delicious, and approachable meat-free recipes that anyone can enjoy. I have a special love for all things tofu—it’s so versatile, and I’m constantly experimenting with new ways to make it the star of a dish!

While I’m not vegan, many of my recipes are vegan or easily made vegan with a few small adjustments. My focus is on helping you create veggie-forward, wholesome meals that are full of flavor but don’t require hours in the kitchen. And while I love cooking with lots of fresh veggies, you’ll also find a healthy sprinkle of indulgent recipes here because balance is everything, right?

Beyond recipes, I enjoy sharing little snippets of my personal life, especially over on Instagram and Tiktok—whether it’s my personal stories about once being in the convent, my latest Pacific Northwest adventures, or my endless quest for the perfect baked tofu. You’ll always get a mix of practicality, personality, and passion here.

So, whether you’re a longtime vegetarian, dabbling in meatless meals, or just looking for some veggie inspiration, I hope this blog becomes your go-to for recipes that are as fun to make as they are to eat!

The Food with Feeling Cookbook

In late 2024, I published my FIRST COOKBOOK! It’s a collection of over 70+ of my best vegetarian recipes that are loved by many! I’m so proud of how this book turned out and I can’t wait for you to get it :)

You can grab a copy of my new cookbook HERE!

Where the Name “Food with Feeling” Came From

When I was brainstorming a name for my blog, I knew I wanted something that made it clear this space is all about food. But I also wanted a name that felt personal and captured the passion I bring to every recipe.

Growing up, my dad was one of the most passionate people I’ve ever known. He would often say, “Do it with feeling!”—whether it was a chore, a project, or something creative, he believed in putting your heart into everything you do. That phrase stuck with me, and when it came time to name my blog, I knew I wanted it to reflect that same sense of passion and purpose.

Food isn’t just about nourishment—it’s about connection, culture, and how we come together as humans. My hope is that when you make my recipes and share them with your loved ones, they spark joy, comfort, and those feel-good moments that remind us how meaningful food can be. That’s what “Food with Feeling” is all about: creating dishes that bring people together and make life a little more delicious.
