About me
Hi, I’m Noha, Plant-Based Recipe Creator • Gluten-Free Baker • Sustainability Advocate
My Story
Five years ago, a doctor handed me a life-changing diagnosis: gluten intolerance. As someone who lived for freshly baked bread and pasta, I panicked. But what felt like a limitation became my biggest inspiration. I started experimenting in my tiny kitchen, determined to prove that gluten-free and vegan eating could be anything but boring.
Turns out, it could be delicious—and deeply nourishing for both people and the planet. That’s how My Green Plates was born: a place where flavor meets compassion, and where “restrictive” diets become a celebration of abundance.

Why My Green Plates?
I believe food should:
🌱 Taste incredible (no cardboard-textured gluten-free bread here!).
🌱 Nourish your body without compromising joy.
🌱 Protect the Earth—every plant-based meal is a vote for a kinder world.
Here, you’ll find:
- Weeknight-friendly recipes (because busy lives deserve good food).
- Family-approved meals (tested by my pickiest critic: my 8-year-old niece!).
- Sustainable kitchen tips (like reducing food waste and seasonal cooking).

Fun Facts About Me
