Welcome

Welcome to The Purple Carrot!

Welcome to The Purple Carrot, “where the art of real food grows”!

To quickly sum it up, we’re a food blog with a healthy twist.

What will you find at The Purple Carrot?

  • Food.  The Purple Carrot is dedicated to quality, sustainable food both local and organic. That being said, we love food, and we love to eat it. This involves a lot of time and fun in the kitchen at home, as well as dining out.
  • Health.  My basic health motto is “eat close to the ground and move”.
  • Kansas City.  As a Kansas City based  blog, we like to brag about all the good things happening here in KC, both inside the food scene and out.
  • Originally Organic Vending. In January of 2010, my husband Erik and I started Originally Organic Vending, a health food vending company serving in and around Kansas City.

Thanks for reading!

    Way to go lady! This is so encouraging. I am struggling to lose 15 pounds and go to the gym regularly. It's so hard to do it alone!
    I wish my husband were my trainer ;) That's awesome.
    I can't wait for more healthy recipes from you, I'm trying your mahi mahi recipe tonight!
    Have a great day!

    Hi Lesley! Glad I came across your blog. I just recently moved to Lawrence, KS which is about 30 min away from KC. I've already told my fiance' about some of the cool places you've mentioned on your blog that we'll have to visit. I'm really diggin' the First Fridays!

    Randomly found your blog while looking for quinoa/ sweet potato recipes on FindingVegan. I grew up in KC, currently reside in Lawrence. So glad I found this site! Its great to see someone from my hometown reppin' the Vegan lifestyle. Your story and business are very inspiring. I always had the idea to start a local/ organic based/ vegan "fast food" restaurant. Congratulations on your success!
