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 6 years, I've been creating delicious and healthy plant-based recipes that are easy to follow at home. My recipes have been featured on Twinkle, Feedfeed, Foodgawker, Insanely Good Recipes, and I'm so grateful for the positive feedback from my readers!
Driven by faith in God and a love for animals, I created Go Eat Green – a space where tasty vegan food meets positive change. For me, this blog is more than recipes, it's a way to fulfill a calling. Through plant-based cooking, I hope to inspire others to join me on a journey towards kinder eating habits and a more compassionate world.
I'm a completely self-taught cook whose love for creating nutritious vegan meals blossomed after embracing veganism. Since then, it's been a journey of constant learning and experimentation.
Here you'll find comforting classics made vegan, hearty soups to warm your soul, and quick meals for busy days. Craving something satisfying? Explore our flavorful wraps, burgers, and sweet treats. Plus, many recipes are gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and oil-free.
Whether you're looking for a hearty dinner, a satisfying breakfast, or a decadent dessert, Go Eat Green has something for you. Explore the deliciousness on my Recipe Index Page.
My Journey to Plant-Based Living
My faith journey has greatly influenced my approach to food. Reading the Bible opened my eyes to the concept of clean eating, and a particular verse in Genesis resonated deeply with me. In Genesis 1:29, God said, “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 nourish ourselves from the vast bounty of plants he abundantly blesses us with.
Our God cares deeply for us. He wants us to live healthy, fulfilling lives that honor Him. He is the source of our life and sustenance, guiding us to make choices that benefit us spiritually and physically. Just as He provides instructions for our behavior, He also teaches us what foods are best for our well-being.
My path to veganism wasn't always linear. Although I wasn't a huge meat eater, processed foods and sugary treats were my comfort zone. Feeling sluggish and unfulfilled, I knew I had to make a change. Documentaries like "Forks Over Knives" and "What The Health" were a wake-up call, revealing the amazing benefits of a plant-based diet. Moreover, Dr. Michael Greger's book "How Not to Die" further fueled my desire to learn more about plant-based nutrition.
Transitioning to veganism opened my world to new flavors and textures. My energy soared, and I felt transformed, awakened to a whole new way of eating. It wasn't just a diet, it was about fueling my body with goodness. I wanted to share these discoveries with you, along with tips and tricks for creating simple, comforting recipes anyone can make at home.
Embracing a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes became my new normal. That's why I focus on creating delicious and satisfying vegan recipes using only real, whole plant foods.
Since vegan options are hard to find here (and quite pricey), I started making plant-based versions of my favorite meals. Not only are they delicious, but they're also free of preservatives, reduce waste, and save me money!
I believe healthy eating should be accessible and enjoyable, and our recipes are designed to be easy to follow, budget-friendly, and perfect for busy home cooks.
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!
- 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 me is about so much more than just food. It's about showing compassion and making the world a kinder place for all creatures.
- Green Obsession: Spinach, broccoli, and parsley are my favorite green veggies, and I'm always looking for new ways to use chickpea flour.
