Hi! I'm Annie!
I started this website in 2018- the same year that I committed myself to a new kind of lifestyle.
My evolution was a gradual evolution, sparked by a growing awareness of the environmental impact of food choices and a desire to feel my best. Honestly, I have always loved the robust flavors of Mediterranean cooking, the sun-drenched vegetables, the fragrant herbs, the liberal use of olive oil. So, when I decided to embrace a meat and dairy free lifestyle, it felt like a natural transition. If there was a such thing as a mostly vegan Mediterranean diet, I would call myself a follower of that program.
To be honest, I have never felt better!
I am that person who gets in their steps and lives on fruit, vegetables, and getting in my daily steps (20-40k+ when I can!). Yes, I am a believer in healthy living and healthy eating. When I turned a certain age (we all have our own ‘certain age’ right?).
Adopting a Mediterranean Diet Lifestyle is something that makes sense.
The experts tell us that we can live longer and live better when we eat in a healthy way.
From what I have been told, the Mediterranean diet is a great way to go.
My goal is to make vegan, vegetarian, and Mediterranean diet cooking accessible to everyone, from seasoned vegans to curious omnivores. I do have recipes that are purely Mediterranean diet focused and not vegan if that is what you are looking for.
Food, Wine, and Love is really about real food for real people like myself.
My recipes are focusing on simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions.
One of my most popular recipes is Mediterranean Style Chicken Piccata. That chicken piccata is extremely popular and it transforms a basic chicken piccata into something a bit more Mediterranean diet friendly.
My How to Make Fire Roasted Tomatoes is popular with vegan, vegetarian, and Mediterranean diet followers alike. It is a recipe that I enjoy often.
A bit more about me..
I am a mom to two great adults and a few furry tagalongs that keep me on my toes.
In my free time, I help manage a restaurant that I have invested in.
I am an avid nature lover- walking, hiking, and just enjoying. 🙂
Foodwineandlove is a reflection of my passion for food, my commitment to healthy living, and my belief in the power of great food.
My website is an open invitation to my table, a virtual gathering place where everyone was welcome to pull up a chair and enjoy the delicious flavors of good food and perhaps a glass of wine.
Enjoy the journey!
