Hello Everyone!
I thought that I would give everyone a little history lesson on myself! My name is Wesley and I currently reside in Silver Spring, MD (a suburb of Washington, DC). I am 31 years old and I am a vegan (...in case you had not guessed).
I first became a vegetarian in 2007 and stayed that way until the fall of 2008. Unfortunately, at that time, I decided to eat meat again for a short time. In January of 2009, I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. At that moment, I went right back to vegetarianism. Many studies had showed that eating a plant based diet was very beneficial for diabetics. I have been off meat ever since!
My love of cooking comes from being in the kitchen with a long line of southern women. While none of their cooking was vegan, I was taught from an early age how to cook. I was taught to use recipes as inspiration...but to put my own spin on things. I was taught to experiment with flavors and methods.
I love comfort food. I get my greatest joy turning typically unhealthy dishes into healthy ones!
