I’ve always LOVED cooking, hosting fun dinner parties, and creating different recipes (Monica Geller is my spirit animal). I’d take pride in calling myself an animal lover, but felt like a hypocrite while consuming animal dairy/meat at the same time, that’s when we watched Cowspiracy & What the Health on Netflix. My husband and I were heartbroken after learning how animals were treated, but were also shocked to see all the health benefits of a Vegan lifestyle, so we decided to try it ourselves especially since my husband has Ulcerative Colitis and we were desperate for a way to improve his health.

3 years ago, when we made that decision, we never thought how drastically it would change our lives…for the better. Our health improved VASTLY by eliminating dairy, meat, processed foods, overly processed fats, refined sugar, etc. and we were FULL of energy. It was the best decision we had ever made.

I would veganize our favorite recipes and amaze our family and friends by cooking without oil or refined sugars, that’s how The Soulful Cook started. I realized how many people there are who are transitioning to a Plant Based/Vegan lifestyle and wanted to show them how easy it is to still have your favorite foods without feeling like your food is ‘lacking flavor or taste’.
