About
Hello and welcome!
Hi there! I’m Chloe — welcome to my creative kitchen. Here you'll find colorful, fun, and delicious recipes with a healthy, plant-based twist. My goal is to show you that vegan cooking can be easy, exciting, and spark creativity in your everyday meals.
What You'll Find on Chloe's Creative Kitchen
Here you'll find all-vegan recipes with a focus on whole-food ingredients. Many are high-protein, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free, while being easy, accessible, and budget-friendly. If a recipe uses a specialty ingredient on occasion, I make sure to link to where you can find it.
I'm always excited to add a unique twist to both sweet and savory dishes — especially “dessert for breakfast” recipes! I also enjoy veganizing classic comfort foods and nostalgic favorites using plant-based ingredients, so you can indulge in familiar flavors without any animal products.
Each recipe comes with detailed instructions and helpful tips to make it easy to follow and flexible for different needs.
And while you may assume that eating vegan feels restrictive, it actually opens up a whole new world of ingredient and flavor possibilities!
No matter what type of eater you are, there's something here for you. I hope to inspire you to eat more plants, align your food with your values, and discover that vegan food can be simple, affordable, and absolutely delicious.
The Backstory
In high school, I realized the connection between the food we eat and how we feel. I started focusing on nutrient-dense meals and quickly fell in love with cooking them — it became my creative outlet.
My camera roll was filling up with photos I snapped on my phone of meals I had made. I figured, why keep them to myself when I could share them online and see what happens? In 2021, I started posting on Instagram under the name Bowls by Bean — a nod to the nickname my close family calls me. As my content evolved, so did the name, and Chloe’s Creative Kitchen felt like the perfect fit.
What started as a casual hobby turned into a full-time passion. I bought a camera and dove into food photography, found my love for content creation, and began partnering with brands that were already part of my kitchen. Eventually, I left my grocery store job to focus on recipe development. Little did I know that one day I’d be calling things like French onion pasta and peanut butter cup smoothies my “job” — and I’m so grateful.
Thank you for being here and supporting this dream. Whether you make a recipe or just browse the blog, it truly means the world to me.
When I'm Not in The Kitchen...
When I’m not testing recipes or making a mess in the kitchen, you can find me out for a walk, getting active at the gym, listening to pop music, navigating life in my early 20s, or spending time with my family in Chesapeake, Virginia — where we’ve lived for over half my life. We’re originally from Savannah, Georgia and still visit extended family there a few times a year. We also enjoy traveling to fun spots in the mountains or by the beach. Hiking is my top pick: I love the peace and energy of being in nature!
My Food Philosophy
Between social media trends and diet culture, it can be hard to know what “healthy” really means. But here’s the truth: you get to decide what healthy eating looks like for you. I embrace a balanced, anti-diet approach — focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods most of the time, while leaving room for fun, indulgent foods too. No “good” or “bad” labels here!
Instead of obsessing over calories or macros (been there), I encourage intuitive eating, tuning into what makes your body and soul feel good. Food isn’t just fuel — it’s about connection, creativity, culture, and joy.
I love recreating traditional dishes in a more wholesome way, like protein brownies or healthy Samoa cookies. But not everything needs to be “health-ified.” Sometimes, you just need a good old slice of cake or a classic burger and fries. As I always say: it’s all about moderation.
