Hi, I’m Crissy.
I share simple, cozy, plant-based recipes and slow living inspiration for real life, not perfection.
Accessible, low-waste plant-based cooking with simple ingredients and a slower approach to everyday life.
After years of doing things the hard way, I’ve found so much peace in keeping things simple. My kitchen is all about nourishing meals made with what I have on hand, minimal stress, and flavors that feel comforting and familiar.
You’ll find:
- Easy plant-based recipes (often one-pot or small kitchen friendly)
- Cozy, seasonal meals
- Gentle inspiration for slow, intentional living
- Real-life cooking without strict rules or hard-to-find ingredients
This space is for anyone who wants to slow down, eat well, and create a life that feels calm and sustainable whether you’re in a tiny kitchen, a busy season of life, or just craving something simpler.
A Little More About Me…
I started this blog out of a deep love for cooking, recipe creation, and holistic health.
I’ve been plant-based for over 10 years, originally going vegan in March 2016. While my values are still deeply rooted in animal welfare, I resonate more with term plant-based these days (focusing on mindful, compassionate choices without the pressure of perfection.)
Over the past decade, I’ve learned so much about food; flavor, texture, and how to creatively adapt almost anything into a nourishing plant-based dish. This is what I love most, bringing a more wholesome and comforting touch to familiar foods.
My lifestyle reflects the same values as my diet. I care deeply about the environment, my health, and animals, and I’ve built a home life centered around slowing down, living intentionally, caring for rescued animals, gardening, and sustainable living.
A few things about me: I love a cinnamon soy latte, homeschooling my son, practicing Buddhism, being in nature, and spending time with animals. These are some of my greatest joys in life.
Thanks so much for being here, I’m really glad you found your way here.
If you’d like more cozy recipes, slow living inspiration, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of this lifestyle, you can also find me on YouTube and Pinterest. (PlantbasedBB on both.)
