…navigating twentysomething life one meal at a time.
the whole plate is a blog about food. It is a blog about dinner, and drinks, and dessert, and dinner again. It is a blog about eating alone and eating with friends. It is a blog about cooking and a blog about dining.
This is a blog about balance. About eating for health and eating for pleasure. About moving because moving feels good. About admitting our faults and being okay with them.
This is a blog about real food. Food that is whole. It’s about vegetables and fruits, egg yolks and ice cream, avocados and warm bread.
This is a blog about living. About smiling and about frowning. About growing and about changing – because that’s what being a twentysomething is all about.
This is a blog about navigating young life. Food is just my way of doing so.
Thank you for stopping by my little corner of the internet. For more about me, click here.

I work with your Dad and he showed me your website. I sent you another email today from work. I’m a very healthy eater myself so I appreciate your input and I eat many similar foods as yourself. I exercise every day and keep myself disciplined. Just started working out again with a personal trainer which helps me not only staying focused but concentrates on essential exercises for my body type. Lots of luck with your writing, recipes, and this website. I’ll share it with my friends and will continue to read it on a regular basis. You’re a very talented young lady and I know your Mom is an excellent cook, as I have some of her recipes. I love to cook (especially bake) also!! Have a great weekend.

I’m so happy I found your blog- you eat very similarly to me, and I appreciate your outlook on whole, real foods. I will definitely be back for some recipes and ideas.
And chocolate, wine and coffee?? I don’t think food would be nearly as enjoyable or satisfying without those three things. :)
