FAQ
Why don't you include sodium content in your nutrition estimates?
I completely understand people's concern with sodium, which is why I purposely omit stating the estimated numbers on my site. I feel it’s not nearly an accurate enough calculation. Many recipes simply say “salt to taste” to let people cater directly to their own needs. Even with the recipes that state an amount of salt, I still omit the sodium content as it can vary significantly with other factors. (For example, differing sodium content between brands, or using no-salt vs. salt-added canned tomatoes, etc.) So I encourage you to calculate your own to achieve a much more precise reading based on your exact ingredients, brands, and amounts.
Can I use The Garden Grazer recipes on my website or newsletter?
I kindly ask that you don't republish my recipes in their entirety. If you're a blogger or media outlet that wishes to share a recipe from The Garden Grazer, please feel free to feature one image from my site along with clear credit and a link back to the original recipe on thegardengrazer.com. I do not allow republishing of full recipes in any form. Thank you for your understanding!
Do you allow guest posts or articles?
I don't accept any guest posts at this time.
Can I send you my product in return for a review or sponsored post?
Thank you, but there are no sponsored posts on The Garden Grazer; a decision I made shortly after starting the blog 9+ years ago. I strive to give readers complete peace of mind that I'm not being paid to promote or say things, and that all content is genuine and authentic. If I truly enjoy a product and it's something I use often, I may mention it on the website or Instagram - simply just to share.

Hi Kaitlin. I really love your site and your recipes. Beautiful!
I was wondering if you could tell me what you do about vitamin B12. I read from multiple sources that it is the one thing vegans must make sure they get enough of as it is not found in plants (it is found in animal products only because animals eat unwashed plants which still contain the vitamin B12 bacteria). Do you take supplements or choose non-dairy milks fortified with vitamin B12? Or perhaps something else?
I look forward to learning from you.
Thanks a lot and happy holidays!
Kaitlin | The Garden Grazer
Hi again! 🙂 Thanks so much for your kind words. As far as B12, I try to do both a supplement (a couple days a week, generally) and also work in non-dairy milk, nutritional yeast, cereal, etc. (There's actually quite a few B12 fortified foods now!) Though a disclaimer: I'm definitely not a medical professional and this is just what I personally do 🙂 I hope that helps a little! Wishing you a very happy, peaceful holiday as well!

I found one of your recipes on Pinterest, and I became entranced with your website and blog. And special thanks for introducing me to matcha! I wondered what it was, but couldn't try any of the bottled matcha drinks in the stores, because none of them were kosher. (I'm a kosher vegan.) I have already ordered a whisk, scoop, and organic matcha from encha.com. I also signed up for your blog and am looking forward to further exploring your website and pinterest boards. Thanks for everything! Devora K
Kaitlin | The Garden Grazer
Aww, hi Devora! Thanks so much for the sweet message and sharing 🙂 So excited you ordered matcha! Let me know if you have any questions. And hope you enjoy any recipes you try! Wishing you a lovely week.

I came across your site a few months ago in my quest to find more Vegan friendly meals for kids! I would have to say it has been a huge blessing to me in my life! Thanks for sharing your talents! I LOVE everything you have on here!
Kaitlin | The Garden Grazer
That's so wonderful! Thanks for your kind words and taking the time to comment 🙂 Glad you're finding recipes for your family to enjoy. Wishing you all a wonderful week!

Hi, I love this site. Garden Grazer, Kaitlin, you have the best, most colorful and healthy recipes I have seen on Pinterest. Thanks for all your hard work, but it seems like you love it too!! Thank you!! 🙂
Lori
Kaitlin | The Garden Grazer
Aww, what a sweet comment - thanks so much! And yes, I do love it! It's a joy to share these recipes 🙂 Thrilled to hear you're enjoying the site, Lori! Take good care.

Thanks for responding to my comment! As a matter of fact I did try a couple of your colorful salads for relatives and they loved them! I prefer cold food in the summer since its plenty hot in Georgia! My first experience with cooking quinoa, and loved your recipe for the super salad! But then, you can't go wrong with avocados either! I did learn to fold them in last or they won't stay cubed.
I have also been "spiralizing" my cucumbers and zucchini with my new Veggeti Pro (basically a fancy apple slicer). It makes thin spaghetti type noodles (and has other ribbon blades, etc.) that dress up a plate and you can eat raw or sauté. HOW FUN - and you were my inspiration!
Also, I recently discovered dehydrated OKRA and want to try this with green beans, squash and zuchs (most were at 130 degrees for 6-8 hours). Maybe this could be another segment of your website?
Kaitlin | The Garden Grazer
So glad you and your relatives have been enjoying the salads! I agree - they're so refreshing in the summer (especially down in that southern heat!) That Veggeti Pro sounds awesome! I've yet to try spiralizing but it's becoming so popular now, and I know I'd love it. Will definitely try it out soon, thanks for the inspiration! Loved reading all your thoughts - thanks for taking the time to write! Have a lovely week and stay cool down there! 🙂

I found your website on Pinterest last week and LOVE IT! It is very well done and easy to maneuver. I especially like that the salad recipes are printable to one page, and your photos show the ingredients before they are mixed together. I can see how really simple they are after all, and no need to fret about cooking.
I always wanted to be a great cook, but I just didn't get that gene. I have no kitchen imagination (and we have no kids), so my Husband does most of the cooking and I am "cleanup detail". I figure - if he will eat it, then that's the trick anyway, right? I sure hope he'll like garbanzos and black beans!
I'm also excited to try Matcha, and learned everything from your website. Thank you for (finally) some really useful information.
Kaitlin | The Garden Grazer
Thanks so much for taking the time to write! Thrilled to hear you're enjoying the site, and appreciate your kind & thoughtful feedback 🙂 Sounds like you and your husband have a good routine down! Hope you enjoy and recipes you try. (And so fun to hear you're giving matcha a try too!)

Hello Kaitlin
I have just found your blog and I am over the moon! I love veggies, but they often go bad in my refrigerator because I lack vision for them. Thank you for your beautiful, yet simple recipes.

The cilantro dressing was absolutely delicious! I added a couple of Tablespoons of nonfat yogurt and 3/4 of an avocado. Thanks for this fabulous recipe!

For the last two weeks you're my go-to site for vegan meals. I've tried three AMAZING meals and have a long line of meals waiting to be made as I work my way down my list lol. Your website is now bookmarked. THANK YOU! The only problem is that your dishes are SO good that I want to keep making the ones I've already made, but then I won't be able to make new ones ... do you see the conundrum you've put me into?!?!?! Sigh ... 😉
Kaitlin | The Garden Grazer
Hi Patricia! Haha, what a great problem to have 😉 Thank you so much for your sweet comment. Thrilled you're finding recipes here you like. Hope you continue to enjoy any other ones you try!
