Hi, I'm Marlena!
Welcome to my vegan food blog, where I create vegan comfort food recipes and my husband takes all the beautiful photos you see!
We live on the outskirts of Los Angeles, CA, with our daughter and our pet Netherland Dwarf rabbit.
Our vegan adventure began in May of 2013 after I watched a few documentaries that changed how we felt about the food we were eating. From there, we moved to a plant-based lifestyle and have been enjoying the variety of new foods ever since.
In 2015, I started WYGYP to share all of my delicious vegan creations with you!
About Where You Get Your Protein
Here on the blog, you'll discover simple, approachable vegan recipes made with ingredients you can easily find, or probably already have in your pantry. I focus on everyday staples whenever possible because I want my recipes to feel accessible to everyone.
Most of my recipes are built around wholesome, plant-based ingredients and are always full of flavor. Since I cook most of our meals myself, they definitely have to taste delicious!
I'm a big fan of dried seasonings for their reliability and convenience, and chances are you already have them on hand. Recipes like my Spanish Rice, Tofu Crumbles, and Jackfruit Tacos rely on dried spices, saving you time on prep and extra trips to the store.
Comfort food has always been a love of mine, even before going vegan. Where You Get Your Protein is my space to reinvent those nostalgic favorites in plant-based form and share them with you.
You'll also notice that many of my recipes include step-by-step photos and an ingredients image. I'm a visual learner, and I know how helpful it can be to see each stage of the process laid out clearly.
I'm so glad you're here! Stick around, explore, and enjoy some delicious vegan comfort food!
