About

Tiny kitchen, big dreams.

Welcome to Go Eat Green!

Hi, I'm Marinela, the vegan recipe developer, photographer, and writer behind Go Eat Green. For the past seven years, I've been creating simple, nourishing, and delicious plant-based recipes designed for real life and real kitchens. What started in a tiny kitchen has grown into a space visited by thousands of home cooks looking for easy, wholesome vegan food that actually tastes good.

My recipes have been featured on Twinkle, Feedfeed, Foodgawker, and Insanely Good Recipes, and I'm endlessly grateful for the encouraging feedback and support from this amazing community.

Go Eat Green was founded on two deep convictions: faith in God and a love for animals. This blog is more than a recipe collection-it's a calling. Through plant-based cooking, I hope to inspire kinder choices, healthier habits, and a more compassionate way of living.

My journey began as a self-taught cook, driven by curiosity and a desire to nourish my body with whole, real foods. Over time, that passion grew into a lifelong commitment to learning, experimenting, and improving.

I'm also a certified graduate of the Mastering Plant-Based Cooking Course by Forks Over Knives, completed through the Rouxbe Online Culinary School. This comprehensive, science-backed training deepened my understanding of whole-food, plant-based cooking techniques, flavor building, and nutrient-focused meal preparation.

Combined with years of hands-on recipe development and testing, this certification strengthens my commitment to creating reliable, well-balanced, and thoughtfully crafted vegan recipes that you can trust.

My Journey to Plant-Based Living

My faith has deeply shaped how I view food and nourishment. While reading the Bible, the concept of clean eating stood out to me-especially Genesis 1:29:

"See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food."

This verse became a cornerstone of my belief that God intended us to thrive on the abundance of plant foods He provides.

God cares for our whole being-spiritually and physically. Just as He guides our hearts, He also guides us toward choices that support health, vitality, and gratitude.

My transition to veganism wasn't instant or perfect. I wasn't a big meat-eater, but processed foods and sugary treats were my comfort zone. Feeling tired and disconnected, I knew something had to change.

Documentaries like "Forks Over Knives" and "What The Health", along with Dr. Michael Greger's book How Not to Die, opened my eyes to the powerful impact of a plant-based lifestyle.

As I embraced fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, everything shifted-my energy, my creativity, and my relationship with food. Veganism became more than a diet; it became a way to truly nourish myself. And I wanted to share that joy with you.

Living in a place where vegan options are limited (and often expensive), I began recreating my favorite meals at home-healthier, more affordable, and preservative-free. That's how many Go Eat Green recipes were born.

A Peek into My World

• God's words are my daily bread: My mornings start with Bible study, a time of reflection and immense gratitude for His constant presence. He provides for all my needs and inspires me to share my love for food with others.
• Unexpected passion: Turns out, a management background can't compete with the joy of cooking and photography.
• Runner's spark: Some of my best plant-based recipe ideas happen mid-run, sneakers on, music in, and thoughts flowing.
• My camera is my new accessory: It goes everywhere with me, ready to capture the perfect shot of a vibrant dish or a stunning sunset.
• Furry sous chef: Meet Mogre, my cat, a loyal friend (and avocado addict - watch out for surprise guest appearances in recipes!)
• Veganism: For animals, people, and the planet.
• Green obsession: Spinach, broccoli, and parsley are my favorite green veggies, and I'm always looking for new ways to use chickpea flour.
