About Heather Crosby
About Our Contributors

Hello friends, welcome to YumUniverse. This website is dedicated to helping people make informed choices about the food that they eat—without compromising taste.

Whether you are looking for recipes, nutrition info, unique products, how-to’s or other support—consider YumUniverse your homebase. Some of our contributors include steak-loving chefs, raw food fanatics, vegan dabblers, insatiable athletes, in-demand moms and even imaginative kids. We share a common goal of bringing the yummiest information and experiences from our meat- and dairy-free adventures, to you.

YumUniverse is about making clean food choices work in the real world. For real people. Busy people. People with budgets. People with families. People who are overwhelmed with what is involved with diet changes or diet maintenance. Now, when we say “diet”, we mean what you eat for life—daily nourishment—not a temporary regimen that you will more than likely end up resenting or dumping. YumUniverse is for folks who love food and want to take their health to the next level. And let’s face it, to stick with a healthy lifestyle, it has to be yummy.

Your first move? Make your health a priority. Your second move? Be nice to yourself. If you can only make a few changes a week, or if you fall off the wagon, pat yourself on the shoulder, say “that’s my process” and then get back on the wagon—guilt-free. This is a journey. Each step forward, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction and we hope we can help make that road a bit easier and definitely fun.

We have big plans for YumUniverse. We are currently working on a few cookbooks, more resources to make your life easier and we are also planning food preparation workshops all over this fine country. If you are interested in any of these offerings, please let us know.
