Welcome! I’m Olive, and I started this recipe blog to share nutritious, family-friendly, allergy-friendly, plant-based foods.
Hey there! I’m Olive, and welcome to my little corner of the internet where food is all about nourishment, joy, and bringing people together.
As a Master Certified Health Education Specialist, I’ve turned my personal journey with food allergies into a mission: creating delicious, wholesome recipes that everyone can enjoy. My blog isn’t about perfection—it’s about making healthy eating feel totally doable.
On Eating by Olive you’ll find easy recipes, healthy eating resources, and meal inspiration to effortlessly incorporate whole foods into your day. My recipes use fresh, whole ingredients and stay away from all things artificial. I also avoid the eight most common food allergens and refined sugars in the majority of my recipes and will offer substitutions wherever possible. I want to make healthy eating approachable, simple, and enjoyable so you can lead a balanced life!
My Nutrition Story & Philosophy
Growing up in a family with multiple food sensitivities, I know how challenging meal planning can be. Trust me, I’ve been there! Those countless nights of experimenting in the kitchen? They’ve led me right here, ready to share recipes that are not just nutritious, but seriously yummy.
My food philosophy is simple: healthy eating shouldn’t feel like a chore. It’s not about restrictive diets or complicated meal plans. It’s about finding those small, sustainable swaps that make you feel amazing. Want to add more veggies to your diet? I’ve got you. Need allergen-friendly alternatives? I’ve got recipes that’ll make everyone at the table happy.
Most of my recipes dodge the eight most common food allergens and skip refined sugars. But here’s the real magic—they don’t sacrifice an ounce of flavor. My goal is to prove that nutritious food can be the most delicious food.
My Core Cooking Beliefs
Here’s the truth: I’m all about showing people that healthy eating isn’t about restriction—it’s about celebration. Every single food has a place at the table, and I’m on a mission to prove that nutritious meals can be the most mouth-watering experiences of your day.
My passion is always eating to THRIVE and loving every. single. bite.
Things I love: throwing dinner parties, attending dinner parties, game nights, camping, being outside, exercise of almost any kind and of course, food.
