Hello, I’m Kaylie!
I am twenty-two years young and currently living in the sunny state of California. I spend most of my time creating simple + delicious plant-based recipes, and this is my space to share it all with you! You can find both sweet and savory recipes here. My kitchen ranges from tropical smoothie bowls to baked mac-and-cheese & gooey chocolate chip cookies. Whether you’re vegan or not, please take a look around. There’s something here for everyone to enjoy!
My Story
In late 2014, I stumbled across this little thing called veganism. “You mean there are people who willingly give up meat and dairy?” I thought while scrolling through vegan YouTube videos. As someone who consumed a diet rich in chicken, eggs, and yogurt, the idea of ditching meat and dairy was inconceivable to me. Yet, as I continued to research, I became more and more intrigued. “Well, who doesn’t love a challenge?!” I decided I would try out veganism for one week. That one week led to one month, which eventually led to one year, and, well… here I am over four years later.
Along my journey with veganism, I fell in love with plant-based cooking and baking. In 2016, I began sharing my creations on my Instagram page @purelykaylie. Since then, I have garnered over 100,000 followers and created the Purely Vegan recipe eBook. Now, as 2019 begins, I am so excited to expand my online presence through the blogging world.
That’s enough about me, let’s get to you! I want to say thank you for stopping by. I hope you’ll browse my recipes, take a look at my Instagram, or check out my videos on YouTube. And if you have any questions or comments, you can reach me here.
