Hey, I'm Regina...
...but feel free to shout out "Reg" or "Regi" – I'll pretty much spin around to anything that sounds remotely like "veg" or "veggie." I'm the head nut and chief twig behind Nuts & Twigs.
I'm a multitasking wife, mom, and former teacher trying to elevate plants from sidekick status to the main event on your family's dinner plate. I want greens to get their time in the spotlight in your home and maybe, just maybe, convince your family that kale can taste good.
From crafting and researching recipes to capturing them with mouthwatering photography, I strive to bring them to life for you. Armed with a cursor, cutting board, and camera, I want you to love vegan recipes and keep trying new ones. With tantalizing visuals and mediocre videos - working on that - I aim to share delicious vegan meals that I know will delight you.
Hi, I'm Rob!
Chief Coffee Consumer and Resident Office Clown.
And then there's Rob, the wizard behind the curtain at Nuts & Twigs. I call him my husband, but you can call him Rob or "Hey, computer guy," he'll likely respond with a knowing nod and a big smile.
He's the tech maestro and digital landscaper, ensuring everything runs smoothly in our online veggie patch.
While I'm out front championing the greens, he's in the back, juggling code, analytics, and all things Google to keep our plant-based ship sailing on the digital seas. I like to think of him as the root system of my leafy endeavors – essential, underground, and incredibly powerful. With Rob handling the digital wizardry, we ensure that Nuts & Twigs is not just a feast for your stomach but a seamless experience for your screen too.
Why Nuts & Twigs?
'Nuts and Twigs' is a cheeky jab at the old belief that vegan food is, you know, only nuts and twigs. But I'm here to change those outdated "rabbit food" notions with tons of recipes that are anything but bland or boring.
With almost 30 years of living plant-based, raising three kids on this lifestyle, and even converting my meat-loving husband to the greener side of life, I've gathered a ton of experience, expertise, and passion, not to mention recipes. Dare I say - I make nuts and twigs delicious.
With the journey I've been on, I've got all the insider tips and tricks to make you fall in love with this way of eating. So embrace the meals on the site, put on your apron, and let's break bread over dishes that promise to be deliciously nourishing or naughty (or a bit of both!).
What You'll Find On Nuts & Twigs
At Nuts & Twigs, we're committed to averting hunger strikes in your homes and mine at the mere mention of the word "vegan." My mission is to make both comforting and delicious dishes, using plants to replicate familiar flavors while introducing exciting new fare. I want to establish vegan meals as the new norm for regular families where even the pickiest eaters can't resist.
While we are primarily a recipe site, I also have articles offering tips on what I have learned about plant-based and vegan living through the years.
It has certainly been a marathon, not a sprint. Raising a crew on greens and beans has been a wild roller coaster ride, filled with late-night reading sessions and earning multiple nutrition certifications to ensure my family's health.
My journey turned into a full-blown love affair and obsession with crafting meals that leave everyone at the table happy and healthy, and I want to share everything I've learned with you.
