About Me

Hi, I’m Trystan 👋

Plant-Based Recipe Creator | Food Photographer | Mom of Two | Real-Life Home Cook

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Trystan — a plant-based food blogger, cookbook writer in the making, wife of an amazing and supportive husband, and mom of two little ones. I believe healthy eating doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing, and I’m here to help you add more plants to your plate in a way that’s actually doable — even with picky kids, busy schedules, and family members who still love their meat and cheese.

I don’t count calories, track macros, or strive for perfection — and I definitely don’t believe in guilt around food. For me, eating this way has never been about losing weight. It’s about energy, longevity, and knowing what’s actually in the food I’m feeding my family.

On the blog, you’ll find:

  • Wholesome, plant-forward recipes (many are oil-free and refined sugar-free)
  • Simple swaps to make recipes work for your family
  • Kitchen hacks
  • Freezer friendly plant-based meals
  • & more!

You’ll also find:

  • Lifestyle hacks to help make homemaking easier
  • Tips to save time, money & mental load (coming soon)
  • Meaningful ways to help you find purpose in the seemingly mundane day to day (Hello Luke 2:52 challenge!)

Whether you’re fully plant-based, just getting curious, or somewhere in between, you’re welcome here.

Let’s make meals that nourish your family and fit your lifestyle — one delicious bite at a time.
