Kiersten Frase

Founding Editor

Kiersten Frase is the founder and editor of Oh My Veggies. After earning her master’s degree in Library and Information Studies, she decided to start a blog on a whim while she was between contract jobs and Oh My Veggies was born. A vegetarian since the age of 12, Kiersten taught herself to cook after a few too many years subsisting on frozen veggie burgers, boxed rice mixes, and Doritos. She lives just outside of Chicago with her husband, daughter and their cats.

Editor

Alissa Saenz

Contributor

Alissa Saenz is a vegetarian, intellectual property attorney and food blogger. She’s recently directed the installation and taken creative control of a small vegetable garden in her back yard, just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Alissa’s vegan cooking blog, Connoisseurus Veg, is one creative outlet where she crafts delicious vegan recipes that she hopes everyone can enjoy, vegan, vegetarian or omnivore. When she is not stirring sizzling sweetness in a cast iron skillet, she’ll likely be found around the pottery studio, yoga studio, or knitting studio (sofa). Alissa’s day job is running a one-lady law firm where she spends most of her time patenting sundry gadgets for her clients. A day that includes reading with her two cats, entertaining friends at a dinner party, sampling a new recipe with her fiancé and/or watching a quirky movie is a good one.

She is a recipe developer and photographer who loves to play in the kitchen and create vegetarian meals that will please even her meat-loving husband (and that go over without complaint!). Ashley believes in approachable recipes with real ingredients – eating healthy, with some decadence thrown in here and there. She lives in central North Carolina with her husband and spoiled, ever-hungry, adorable little beagle.

Joanne has a penchant for hyperbole and a (not so) secret love for trashy reality television.

Her blog, Floating Kitchen, is where she shares seasonally inspired recipes made with real ingredients. Equally smitten with kale and chocolate, Liz’s blog contains recipes ranging from healthy salads and main dishes, to indulgent desserts and creative cocktails. When she’s not in her kitchen, Liz can most likely be found walking the beach (with her camera and dog in tow), binge listening to whatever podcast she is currently crushing on.
