Hi, I’m Tori (she/her) and welcome to my site! I’m the Registered Dietitian behind Easy Chickpeasy. I'm here to show you that adding plant-based, eco-friendly meals to your rotation doesn't have to be difficult.
As a Registered Dietitian, I provide real, evidence-based information about plant-based proteins. I have been plant-based for 5 years and have incorporated plant-based meals in my diet for over a decade.
My goal is to inspire and encourage others to embrace plant-based proteins as a sustainable choice for a healthier future. I'm passionate about chronic disease prevention and environmental footprint reduction through plant-based eating.
With a Master’s Degree in Nutrition Science, years of experience as a dietitian, and hours spent experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, it’s safe to say I really love food! When I’m not doing something food-related, you can find me snuggling my cats, walking my dog, traveling with my spouse, antiquing, or getting a quick run in. I am based Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Education and Experience
I obtained my Bachelors of Science degree in Dietetics from Michigan State University. Then, I went on to complete my 1,200 hours of supervised practice to become a Registered Dietitian through East Carolina University, where I also went on to obtain my Masters of Science in Nutrition Science. I'm a member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the Vegetarian Nutrition Dietetic Practice Group.
After several years of working as a Clinical Dietitian in acute and post-acute care, I became a Certified Nutrition Support Clinician to gain the ability to order enteral and parenteral nutrition (tube feeding and nutrition through a central IV) for high-acuity patients in the ICU, post-surgical, and neonatal units. I have worked with thousands of patients with a variety of acute and chronic conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, malnutrition, gastrointestinal disease, and critical care.
I started Easy Chickpeasy as a hobby blog in 2020 to share my passion for plant-based eating, and went on to found Easy Chickpeasy, LLC in 2022. Since then, I've been featured as an expert in several publications, including Newsweek, VegNews, Forbes Health, and Eat This, Not That!. I also contract with other health professionals to help them gain visibility in the digital publishing space, volunteer my expertise in my local community, and offer nutrition counseling to limited clients.
