I want to help you cook plant-forward food that’s better for you and the planet.
Hey there! My name is Stephanie McKercher, MS, RDN. (You can call me Steph!)
I work as a registered dietitian nutritionist, recipe developer, blogger, photographer, and media spokesperson for like-minded food and wellness brands. (A mouthful, I know, but I love that no two days are ever quite the same!)
I was born and raised in Wisconsin, but now I live in Colorado with my husband, Dan, and our two dogs, Neil Young and Levon Helm. (Can you guess our taste in music?)
We try to spend as much time as possible outside, and luckily, there’s plenty to explore up here in the mountains.
Our outdoor adventures made me realize how important it is to do what we can to protect the environment, which is heavily influenced by the food we eat (and, unfortunately, the food we waste, too).
Sustainability is the primary reason most of my meals are plant-based, and it’s also a major source of inspiration for the content I create here on Grateful Grazer.
I want to make sustainable living easier and more enjoyable for my readers.
Together we can make a positive impact—one delicious, chickpea-loaded meal at a time.
About Grateful Grazer:

I’ve also had the opportunity to work with some of my favorite food brands and commodity boards, including North American Pulses, Silk, So Delicious and Morton Salt.
Grateful Grazer is recognized as a Top 40 Healthy Food Blog, and my Garlic Tarragon Roasted Beet Sandwiches took the grand prize in a recipe contest sponsored by Sabra.
