Welcome! I'm so glad you're here! I'm Sylvia and this is my site. I make plant-based and vegetarian recipes, often with variations for meat-eaters, so it's easy for groups with mixed diets to eat together.
If you eat meat and dairy but are just looking for different ways to reduce your consumption, you'll find lots of good suggestions here.
