A food blogger and recipe developer based in Portland, OR!
The face behind Food with Feeling
I’m Brita! I’m the writer, photographer, videography, cookbook author, and chef around these parts. I started my blog in 2013 thinking that it would be a lifestyle blog (whatever that really means). As it turns out, taking pictures of food was what I seemed to like the most so I went with it. I’ve enjoyed testing and creating new recipes and sharing them with you! If you have a suggestion for a new recipe, please let me know!
I have one simple goal: to help you cook more wholesome, simple and DELICIOUS meat free recipes whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, or a carnivore looking to incorporate more veggie forward recipes into your life!
Originally from Nashville, TN, I now live in Portland, OR and have a passion for everything in the Pacific Northwest! It’s such a beautiful part of the country and I’ve loved exploring everything that the PNW has to offer!
Other random notes worth mentioning: I’m on a mission to bake the perfect vegan cookies. I hate push-ups. I love listening to songs on repeat (it drove my mother crazy growing up). I’m 1/2 Italian and therefore love all things carbs, especially pasta and bread. AND I have an unnatural affinity to Bailey’s Irish Cream :)
