EASY RECIPES

We live in fast-paced world and we need to create food that is quick and easy, healthy and delicious and on the budget. 

While I love Raw Vegan Cuisine, I also cover cooked foods and animal proteins that are ethically treated and raised, to address my bio-individuality as well as of her viewers.


It's time to start having fun creating your meals, not slaving away in the kitchen!

​Cook with me through my YouTube Food Channel:

I believe there are two components that make the recipe: the quality of ingredients and the love you put into preparation. While you can take care of the latter, I want to help you make your best choices when it comes to buying produce. This is why I created these simple cards. 

Before you go grocery shopping or out to eat, print out them out and take with you. They are great folded and fit perfectly into a card slot in the wallet.
