Hi and welcome to my kitchen!
I'm Dana, a mom of 4 magnificent children, a culinary enthusiast and a vegan recipes developer and explorer. Cooking and baking have been a constant joy in my life — a creative outlet, a way to care for my family (of 6!), and a way to connect with others.
I share plant-based recipes here because I believe good food has the power to nourish not just our bodies, but our values too: kindness, creativity, and a deep appreciation for the natural world.
Our family life is busy, a little messy, and full of energy — and so is my kitchen!
Some days it’s a simple meal, other days it’s an ambitious bake, but always made with love and curiosity.
This space is an open door into our everyday life and adventures on the road, and the small, beautiful moments in between.
Whether you're here looking for inspiration, encouragement, or just something new to try, I hope you find a little spark of joy in these pages.
I'm so glad you're here!
On my blog I am sharing a variety of cooking inspirations and how to experience cooking outdoors, as part of our family camping and road trips adventures. I absolutely love developing and exploring vegan desserts, of which you'll find a nice collection of options, alongside great vegan main courses, sides, soups and more.
Why Vegan?
I still remember the moment everything came into focus: I was struck by a simple truth—that caring for animals feels as instinctive as caring for people. I realized that extending kindness beyond my immediate circle was an invitation to live more fully in tune with my own values. It wasn’t a choice born of obligation but of connection.
Around the same time, I began to notice subtle changes in my own well-being. Mornings felt brighter, my energy was more consistent, and meals left me feeling nourished rather than heavy. Discovering the vibrant textures and flavors of plant-centered cooking showed me how deliciously varied—and healthful—a diet can be when it leans into whole foods.
Embracing a vegan lifestyle felt like a natural alignment of two simple desires: to live with compassion and to thrive in health.
