About

Greetings and welcome to Midwest Vegetarian!  Here my passions for organic gardening, vegetarian cuisine, photography and green living are gathered to share with you.

Born and raised in Indiana, my parents and grandparents taught me the principles of organic growing and cooking with many styles, as well as canning goods to preserve for the winter months.

I am a first generation vegetarian, and love creating new and exciting dishes for my family and friends to enjoy!  My husband and I bought a house in urban Indianapolis, IN and have been gardening here for two seasons.  We have learned plenty while gardening on our own, while my parents and grandmother have been a huge support.  This season we began composting and have already reduced our waste by 50%.

Midwest Vegetarian will document the growth of our garden, as well as feature vegetarian recipes made with fresh, local, and in-season ingredients from our garden! Recipes including items grown by family members and local farmers will also be featured.

Thank you for visiting Midwest Vegetarian. I hope you will savor each recipe as much as I delight in creating them!
