I'm Maria Rose, the founder of Damn Tasty Vegan - No meat. No dairy. No eggs. NO PROBLEM!
I’m a pole dancing, foul-mouthed, downward-dog-loving, imperfect human who believes in progress not perfection.
I'm a food blogger by day, professional musician by night and cat mom for life (meow!)
I hope to show you that being vegan is about reducing animal suffering as much as is practical and possible and isn't about perfectionism, purity or weight loss.
My journey to veganism was not a straight line.
I flip flopped between being vegetarian and vegan for years!
I fell off the wagon so many times, I have permanent bruises on my metaphorical ass.
I finally got it to stick after spending more time educating myself, connecting with the ethics of veganism and finding a vegan online community so I didn’t feel like an outsider.
I’ve now been a satisfied and healthy vegetarian since 2004 and vegan since 2015 and hope to help you learn from my mistakes.
