Hi, I’m Cassidy! I'm the recipe developer and registered dietitian (RD) behind Cozy Peach Kitchen. I started Cozy Peach Kitchen® as a creative outlet while working as a new RD and it quickly evolved into the vegetarian food & nutrition blog that it is today.
I now work full-time on Cozy Peach Kitchen and I recently graduated with my Masters of Science in nutrition from Texas Tech University. As a dietitian turned food blogger I still use the valuable menu planning, recipe development, and nutrition education skills from my last job, but now I get to share them with you!
What you'll find here
Cozy Peach Kitchen is a plant-based food and nutrition blog focusing on easy vegetarian recipes for every occasion. I also share a lot of vegan and dairy-free recipes.
You'll find classic comfort food recipes inspired by my Midwestern roots and home state of Georgia mixed in with balanced meals, decadent desserts and lifestyle and nutrition information.
I aim to make cooking easy and stress-free for you. I know that life is busy and cooking isn't always the priority. I also know that following a plant-based lifestyle can be intimidating.
That's why I share easy, fuss-free meals and meatless versions of comfort food classics. The recipes on Cozy Peach Kitchen contain step-by-step photos, detailed ingredients lists, expert tips and FAQ so that you have the tools you need to cook with confidence.
Fun facts about Cassidy
- I grew up in a Midwestern casserole-loving family and years later found myself in the heart of the south where I learned to love biscuits, fried okra and seasonal cooking.
- As a dietitian, I believe that enjoying your favorite foods is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. That's why there's no shortage of buttery baked goods alongside fiber-packed meals on the blog!
- I haven't had a dishwasher since starting this blog in 2018. I know. It's rough. That's why I share so many one-pot dishes! Update: As of 2022, I now have a dishwasher but I still love sharing one-pot meals.
- I currently live in Georgia with my partner and three sweet but needy cats, Steve, Bustelo, and Mr. Wilson.
- I have many hobbies, including but not limited to trying to antique shopping, painting, gardening, rock climbing, and watching every single Hawks game (I'm a huge fan). Check out my Instagram for glimpses into my day-to-day life!
- If I'm not listening to an audiobook (you can see what I'm currently reading on my Goodreads account) I'm listening to music. I was a DJ at my school's radio station in college and I'm still as in love with music as I was then!
