MEMBER FOCUS: Liz Thomson⁠

IT STARTED with a challenge: Go vegan for six months to lower her cholesterol and blog about the experience. ⁠

WITH NO Impossible Burger back in 2010, Liz rolled up her sleeves and learned to cook, not realizing that after six months she had whipped up a new career.⁠

LIZ IS the creator of I Heart Vegetables, the author of The Truly Healthy Vegetarian Cookbook, and founder of Virginia Bloggers. Liz inspires the lay chef to experiment in the kitchen, wellness bloggers to find community, and fussy eaters to discover the joys of broccoli. ⁠

ACCESSIBILITY is her food philosophy. Healthy eating, she says, doesn’t have to look like a $5 oat milk latte. It can be taking a 99 cent can of chickpeas to make a simple, delicious dish. ⁠

RECENTLY, she and her husband were approved to be foster parents; they can’t wait to pull up a new chair to their kitchen table for many meals, memories, and adventures to come!⁠
