About / Recipe Index


I'm Nina, the creator of this blog.  Here I like to document my strive to live with intention.  

 I'm a nature lover and I enjoy exploring new places. 
So far I have lived in GERMANY, NEW JERSEY,
WASHINGTON STATE, UTAH, SOUTH CAROLINA and TEXAS.
📍I'm currently traveling the US in my Airstream.  
My husband and I live in the Airstream full time and we ♡ it. 

Please be sure to leave me a comment.  
I love to hear from my readers and fellow travel friends!




 
I struggle with allergic asthma that's triggered by a strong allergy to dogs.  But I also have food allergies to animal protein (meat and dairy) and alliums (garlic, onions, leeks, chives, shallots, scallions, etc).  
These allergies are part of the reason why I follow a whole foods vegan diet that avoids my allergies. 

Allergies limit me in many ways: from visiting public places (many are dog friendly and therefore not Nina friendly) and dining out is rarely possible. For the most part, I prepare and cook everything I eat. This lead me to become passionate about from scratch, whole food cooking. It's empowering that I can whip up nourishing foods that make me feel fueled and well taken care of.  

 I believe one should feel fueled and energized after eating - not needing a long nap or the bathroom.  
I know, what a concept!  
But convenience food or the indulgent meals at restaurants usually don't prioritize this gentle nourishing, feel better afterwards aspect that from scratch cooking can provide.

Other areas of interest -- that might be featured on this blog -- 
are sustainable and zero waste living, minimalism, slow fashion and casual hiking adventures.  I often share about these subject and publish these posts on Sundays.

 In general, I will contribute a new recipe on Mondays.  Not on a schedule, but when I come up with something new.  Recipe development takes several months until I'm happy with the result.  This means new creations aren't published too frequently.  
In the meantime, please feel free to browse the recipe menu below for tried and true favorites.
