About

Welcome to Handful of Raspberries!

My name is Cassie and I’m a graduate student working on my Master’s in Nutrition and the coursework required to become a Registered Dietitian. I’m currently living in Minnesota with my boyfriend, Jarrett, and our cats, Mips and Stella.

I love raspberries (obviously ;)) and trying new vegan recipes and foods (I’ve been vegan for over a year and was a vegetarian for 5 years before that) I love snuggling with my cats, reading, meditation, and traveling/road trips (Jarrett and I once drove from Minnesota to California and back!). I also like to exercise, my favorites being yoga, cross-country skiing, running, and lifting weights.

About Handful of Raspberries

I started this blog in July of 2014 as a way for me to share my vegan recipes and the knowledge I gain throughout my educaton in nutrition. I know what it’s like to be confused with all the health information that’s out there. I hope to clear some of the haze surrounding current diet, health, and fitness trends and make it easier for people to make smart and healthy choices. I also hope to show how easy and delicious a vegan lifestyle can be and inspire others to eat more plant-based foods.

Where to Start

These are some of my favorite recipes:

Breakfast: Chunky Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Granola and Vanilla Doughnuts with Raspberry Glaze

Lunch/Dinner: Vegan Broccoli “Cheese” and Potato Soup, Tofu and Black Bean Tacos, and Chana Saag

Snacks: Oatmeal Raisin Granola Bars and Spicy Chipotle Hummus

Dessert: Mini Raspberry Coconut Pies and Raspberry Apple Crisp
