Welcome to Plant-Based Preparations!

I’m an amateur home cook, and I’m vegan. At the time I am starting this blog, I have been vegetarian for 5 years, and vegan for 2.

I love to find new recipes and to cook. I recently started a program that delivers weekly produce from local farms. The effort is for people to eat locally grown produce that is in-season. It is a low-waste option, and requires a lot less carbon emissions for transport than groceries at the local store do.

This produce delivery program has also caused me to be more creative in the kitchen! Instead of picking a recipe and buying the list of ingredients, I am now taking what is in season, local, and fresh and coming up with recipes from there! So, I am posting the successful recipes I come up with, to share with myself and with anyone else who is interested. I’m hoping to accumulate a variety of recipes so that all types of fresh produce will have a recipe. That being said, please always feel free to use liberty with my recipes, and edit ingredients and quantities as you please! That’s one of my favorite parts of cooking.

So without further ado, welcome and enjoy!
