Hi, I’m Jill, The Wandering Veggie!
When I’m not out exploring, I’m cooking up a plant-based storm in my tiny house tucked into the heart of the Cascade Mountains.
Yep, this is my kitchen: no running water, limited power, a single hot plate, and no oven. It’s far from glamorous but I make it work. And that’s why I love sharing recipes: you don’t need a big, beautiful kitchen to create amazing, healthy meals for you and your loved ones…if I can cook them here, you can cook them anywhere!
Why I Went Plant-Based
After neglecting my body for a couple of decades, I came to realize that, overall, I didn’t feel well. Like, at all. Morning people would irritate me because I was sleeping until 10-11 a.m. if I was able and it took every ounce of energy to get through most days. As someone who has always been extremely active my entire life, this wasn’t working for me and I knew something had to change.
Learning about nutrition completely shifted my world. It suddenly made sense why I felt awful: I was fueling my body with garbage. The loss of energy happened slowly, so I didn’t notice how much I had slipped over time.
Changing what I ate changed everything. My energy came roaring back, and now in my 40s I feel better than I ever did in my 20s. Turns out, I’m actually a morning person… who knew?
