Welcome

Hi! I’m Jessie and I’m a professional food photographer living in the Chicago Suburbs. You can view my professional portfolio here: http://jessiekaufman.com

The Goal:
I want to inspire you to make healthy, mostly meatless food. As a life choice, I make it a point to not buy anything that comes in a box, unless it's chocolate, butter (I only use real butter), organic broth, or cereal. I feel these days, when we're living in a world of convenience there are so many incentives to just pick something up that's premade and cook it. Cooking good, meatless food doesn't have to be intimidating or bland. Some of it isn't even that healthy. Wait until I share my tostada recipe with you! My hope for you is for you to pick one recipe and incorporate it into your weekly dinner routine and see how you feel. If you like it, try a full day of going meatless. It really can be and is delicious.

What You Can Expect:
3-5 weekly posts, some product reviews, some giveaways, great photos and food photography tips, and LOTS of great recipes.

The Inspiration:
My husband and I had been doing Meatless Mondays for about a year and somewhere in there it turned into meatless-three-days-a week and now, we’ve worked our way up to 5 days a week. We’ll usually eat meat on the weekend, our vice seems to be burgers or any form of lamb, so you’ll likely see some of those recipes on here too. We feel so much better, less edgy, we’re more rested, more energetic, my skin and hair are glowing, and the most interesting thing, we’re not really craving meat.

So, sit back, get excited, bookmark this blog and look forward to the first meatless recipe posting tomorrow. It's one of my favorites.
