I'm so glad you found us! I can only hope that you have stumbled across our blog in hopes to find harmony with the ones you love, that was my mission when I met my Caveman.
Seeeee.... I have been vegetarian since I was 10 years old. My school sent us on a "fantastic" (insert a sighing 10 year old) field trip to educate city kids about the country life. I recieved a very different experience. My buddy-check and I went to a beautiful S T U D Farm where we learned, closed our eyes and plugged our ears and ended the day with a piled high burgers and meatloaf. I came home from that weekend very hungry and very changed. At our next family meal I proclaimed at the dinner table "I will NOT eat animals any more!!" My parents thought it was cute and allowed me to activate for animals in our home, I don't think anyone thought that would be the last time I touched meat. 21 years later and I enjoy dabbling and exploring the raw food movement, upholding a vegan lifestyle (as much as possible without betting myself up, cheese is my kryptonite) and just getting back to basics.
But then, marching to the overplayed beat of every Hollywood rom-com, I met the man of my dreams. Complete with butterflies, giggles, and irrational spontaneity (I'm sure he will think I am so charming if I stomp through that fountain with these unreasonably expensive heels on), I found myself being swept off my feet. This must be what Julia Stiles felt like when Heath Ledger sang "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" in front of the whole school.
With all these butterflies and giggles there was little focus on what I was eating for dinner on our dates until the moment we cooked our first meal together. Not incorporating meat in a meal was a new concept for him and a struggle we both had to overcome. With patience and flexibility we both learned that we cannot change those around us but, be the change. I so enjoy creating beautiful meals together that we equally can enjoy and secretly sway him to the HERBIVORE side and he secretly convert me to a CAVEMAN.
Simply preparing a meal that your loved one can enjoy with you and to ensure that the chef doesn't have to cook separate meals and dirty every pot and pan in the kitchen, is our goal. That is what we are going to share with you, the answer to TOTAL FOODIE EQUALITY FOR ALL! This is a safe place and I hope you enjoy the journey.
