Welcome to Rise Up Pantry. I'm Leah. Mother of two spirited kids, wife to one amazing partner, and lover of all things wild and green. Yes, I love being outdoors, but when I am inside you'll find me in the kitchen exploring new plant-based recipes, and that's why I started this blog. I wanted to share the yummy things we can make when we center our meals around fruits, vegetables and healthy grains. (If you have a sweet tooth, not to worry, I like making treats still too!) Through this journey of being more conscious about food, I've discovered a parallel need to be more aware of what I am feeding my mind. It is possible to increase our capacity for joy, gratitude, and love even in these crazy times! So join me on this quest for a happier, healthier life. After all, we are stronger together, and I am glad you are here.
