It's Monique
I share simple, plant-forward recipes, real talk about money, and the messy middle of starting over. Grab my free guide, Keep Your Flavor...Add More Plants, watch along on YouTube, and I'll show you what's working for me.
Hey, it's Monique!
I've been cooking with plants for over 10 years. You might know me from Brown Vegan, where I grew a cooking channel to about 50,000 subscribers and won Best Vegan Podcast at the 2022 VegNews Veggie Awards.
If that's you, welcome back!
These days, I eat mostly plant-based, which for me means adding more plants to the meals I already love, not giving up flavor. Those years taught me what works, and what happens when food turns into a list of rules.
Just Monique is what I'm doing with all of it now: simpler, more flexible, and a lot more me.
I just turned 45, and this next chapter is about building a life with more options: more money, more freedom, more love. Right now, that means working my full-time job, paying down debt, and rebuilding a business from scratch on nights and weekends.
On YouTube, I share the budget-friendly recipes I actually make, plus honest updates on rebuilding my money and my business after 40, wins and wobbles included.
If you're starting over too, or just want to eat better without the stress, you're in the right place.
Pull up a chair. I'll show you what's working for me.
