Hi, I’m Evie.

I’ve been vegetarian for over a decade, fully vegan for nearly a year now. And here’s the thing nobody tells you about plant-based eating: the food part is easy. The planning part is exhausting.

What’s in my pantry? What should I buy? Is there enough protein in this? Enough variety? Am I actually going to have energy for my workout, or will I crash at 3pm?

The mental load was the hardest part.

So I started building a collection of recipes that solve that problem. Mains and bowls hit 20-40g of protein per serving, satisfying enough that seconds aren’t even a question. And yes, there are snacks and treats too, because what’s the point of eating well if there’s nothing to look forward to? Those run a little lower on protein but still pull their weight, nowhere near empty calories. Because here’s my confession: I really, really like food. Sometimes too much. Portion control? Not my strong suit. Saying no to seconds? Even worse.

Which is exactly why I cook for myself. When I control what goes in the pan, I can build meals that are both indulgent and strategic. Meals that keep me full without the guilt spiral.

Why These Recipes Exist

I’m still a runner (more gym than track these days, but the endurance habit stuck). I travel constantly, there’s no better way to fall in love with a place than through its food. And I’m tired of hearing “vegan food is boring” or “there’s not enough protein in plants.”

This collection is proof that’s nonsense.

Every recipe here is something I genuinely cook and eat, real meals from my own weekly rotation, measured, refined, and built to work. They’re designed for real life: meal prep-friendly, office-safe (no to awful smells), and built for people who need energy, not just Instagram photos.
