We’ve heard of mother-daughter blogs, husband and wife blogs and best friends blogs, but it isn’t every day you come across an uncle and niece duo.

Curt has been a vegetarian for close to three decades, and Jessica is a registered dietician, so you’ll collect plenty of healthy recipes and advice every time you visit.
