WHO WE ARE
Hello there! Allow us to introduce ourselves. My name is Joan and along with my husband Carlos, we are the creators of Vegan Food Crazy. We have been married for over 20 years and we have been vegan since 2017. In January 2017, my husband made a life changing decision to become a vegan.
He had many reasons for doing so including health reasons and an absolute intolerance for the unethical treatment of animals. At the time, I decided to support my husband’s choice by becoming a vegetarian. I was convinced that I could not live without dairy. For 5 months I was mostly vegetarian. On June 4, 2018, my husband asked me to watch a documentary with him called “What the Health”. I had no idea that this documentary was going to change my life. After watching this show, I immediately adopted a plant based lifestyle.
We were clueless where to start, so we turned to Instagram and created VeganFoodCrazy. We started creating and sharing recipes and learned so very much along the way. We had no idea when we started in 2017, what our next meal would look like, but we were open to new ideas.
This blog grew out of an idea to share what we have learned in our everyday lives from being vegan. It will include our experiences with food shopping, cooking, eating out, traveling, holidays and dealing with friends and family. We also recognize that while long complicated recipes may taste delicious, we really don’t have the time or the interest in them.
Our style of cooking is using a few ingredients combining it with a a little cooking time, adding a lot of love and flavor.
We hope you will enjoy all that we have to share!
We also would love to hear from each and every one of you about your own journey and of course your feedback on the blog and the recipes!
