About Guest Contributor, Annie Oliverio

I’m an avid home cook and baker, an on-again off-again artist, a slow but dedicated runner; health nut; aspiring yogini; devourer of crossword puzzles and an earnest but lousy gardener. Enamored of praying mantises, bluebirds, wild turkeys, red sliders, my mutt Ike and other furred, feathered and scaled beasts, I’m a former city-dweller who bagged the concrete for the red dirt of rural Oklahoma. My blog, An Unrefined Vegan is: “unprocessed, unbleached and cruelty-free: low-fat, low-sugar, whole food and plant-based recipes to nurture body, brain and conscience.”
