Hello! I’m Jilly

Mother, animal lover & VEGan foodie

I’m the creator of Sunny + Sentient. I am the proud mother to a beautiful baby boy, an animal rights activist and a lover of delectable vegan cuisine. After being vegetarian for nearly 11 years, my husband and I went vegan in early 2021 after learning about the dairy and egg industries. We are proud to say we have never eaten or felt better and are raising our son the same way.

Released on my 3rd anniversary of going vegan, Sunny + Sentient was born as a passion project, an amalgamation of my love for creating and enjoying delicious vegan food, food photography and inspiring a kinder world by leaving animals off of our plates. As you will find by trying out some of my recipes, eating plant-based is easier and (WAY!) more delicious than one might assume. Not only is this blog a resource for my loved ones, I hope it can also help you on your journey to a plant-based, vegan lifestyle. I hope you love these recipes as much as my family does!
