About
Ohhhh hi there! Nicetameetya!
Welcome to Chef Katelyn, where I blog about not being a chef. Let’s get one thing straight: I love to eat and (occasionally) cook, but this is no food blog. You could say it used to be, which is evidenced by my upwards of one hundred recipes in the Recipe tab above. I still eat them. I just don’t spend all my time making them.
I’m an OrangeWoman with ambition. I go to Syracuse University and am hoping to pursue a dual degree in the iSchool and Newhouse. I’m not sure what I’m doing with the rest of my life, but I know I’m going to be communicating with others and will include social media. Whether it’s at a PR firm or at Vanity Fair, I do not know.
This blog documents everything from yoga to haute couture and everything in-between. You will often see photographs of anything from food, style, my daily shenanigans, college life, nature, and travel. My inspiration will often be documented in the form of deep words, photographs, doodles, and YouTube videos (regardless of whether they are my own or something I am watching over and over again).
This blog is my masterpiece. My brainchild. I love it, and I hope you will too.
xoxo,
Katelyn

You are beautiful! I love the title of your blog – oh how I'd love to be a Chef …well actually, real "chefs" seem super busy and work up to their elbows all day long…I guess I "romanticize" it
Awe thank you!!
Heyy aww I'm soo blessed to see such a young woman of God who isn't silent but is thriving with love and joy! Keep runnin' hard~~
Thanks girl! I will:)
Hey Katelyn! I've been seeing your name in the comments on pretty much all of the same blogs I read, so I decided to check 'ya out! I love that your journey has brought you to being a vegan at 17 – that' s so cool! I wish I knew half as much as you do when I was 17. You rock! Looking forward to reading along
Thank you!!:)
Hi Katelyn! I agree with Erin above me…I commend you for taking on a healthy lifestyle at such a young age. I wish I had your wisdom when I was 17! I love the blog and look forward to reading more.
Woooo thanks girl!!!! I hope you come back soon!
I just discovered your blog and already love it. It's nice to see someone in the blogging community who has my age. I would try going vegan someday and i think that i might find some very good ideas on your blog :)
Can't wait to read more of your blog

I love your story Katelyn! I just found your blog and its absolutely incredible. I actually laughed out loud when I saw that guys are so chill…"I should be one." I'm the exact same way. I live in a sorority house, but I'm so much more comfortable just pal-ing around with my guy friends.
Ahaha I love it. Did you know I\’m rushing next semester? Yup.
I just found your blog… I had no idea you were 17! (You look older in your main pic) I am 19, going to the University of Florida right now. Love your energy and view on life… I found it coincidentally awesome that I went to Colombia last year on a service (not mission) trip and worked with kids aged 11-17 who have the biggest hearts I have ever seen/met. They didn't speak any English either… talk about a crash course in Spanish. I'm trying to start up my blog right now, it's still a major work in progress, but I've been trying to post regularly. If you have time, it would be amazing if you could check it out and let me know what you think!
Allie
I\’m 18 now, but when you read this I was 17! Ahah. You\’re in Florida?! Seriously jeal. I could use some sunshine right about now.
I would love to chat more! Columbia sounds amazing.
Hi Katelyn!
I saw your blog from Hollie’s post! Are you from New York? I’m just curious- I’m not, but my whole family is from Rochester and all grew up there!
Love your blog and recipes- keep it up!
Hi Chuck! I am in Rochacha, but a lot of my family lives on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and in New Jersey. I’m glad you stopped by!:)
Hi Katelyn! Love your blog! All of your nummy foods look so tasty, they've really given me some ideas to jazz up the bland norm I'll definitely be following, looking forward to reading more!
I\’m so glad! Thank you for stoppin by!
Vegan bloggers with a fun personality! I'm bookmarking this one!!
xoxo
Ahah so glad you enjoy it!
Hi!! Just wondering…are you a Christian?
I was raised Christian (Methodist denomination), but recently I\’m kind of ambiguous. I\’m intrigued by all religions.
So we met on Twitter days ago and I think you are the cutest thing ever! I became vegetarian (seriously) this past year so I am enjoying all the funny comments you have the I sooooo completely agree with. You are also super into fitness and if you are ever interested in becoming a beachbody coach PLZ let me know. I think you would be perfect for it! I will keep reading!!
Thank you! Ahah thank you. I know we talked awhile back, but now might be a better time for me to become a beachbody coach. Let\’s chat soon!
love your blog!! you're so stinkin' pretty!
Aweeee girl you made my day!!
just came across your blog and I love it! just recently started one myself. im sure i will be returning regularly to check out (and make) some of your awesome recipes! congrats on ur graduation!
Thank you!!! I hope to see you back soon.

18!
Just thought I'd let you know that I love your blog:) and I am so making that cookie dough bowl for breakfast sometime:)
Ahah yay! I\’m so glad. Look forward to seeing you around more!
Hah. SO i looked my self up on google, (i know, im a nerd), and i came across your blog. It made me smile because my names also Katelyn and i want to be a chef (: I now have to add your website to my favorites list
Haha you\’re kidding! That is literally the funniest thing I\’ve heard all day. What are the chances? Glad to see you around!
Just stumbled across your blog, super. why is it that everyone in the food blog world seems to be inside my brain? Def kindred blog-spirits. Blog on!
Ahah no idea. Thank you for stopping by!
I love your blog! I follow you on twitter and i saw you hosted fitblog and i came to check you out some more! you seem pretty funny so i'll be back!!
Thank you!! Hope to see you back soon.
Stumbled upon your blog via ohsheglows, and immediately recognized the photo in front of skinny dip, in my hometown I do believe! Perhaps it’s a vacation shot, but finding Virginia Beach (unless it is not?) from a lovely Canadian blog was an awesome feeling of small-world-ness
Ah! Yes! That is in VA Beach, but I live in Upstate NY. My grandma and a friend live in Virginia Beach, so I go there once or twice a year.
Hey love your blog! I have a question and it’s not meant to be an attack of any sort—but are you vegan? It’s a little hard to tell because you don’t say you are, and you’ve posted pics of salmon and such, but then in your philosophy you talk about eating animal free products. It doesnt matter either way of course, but i’m vegan and like to keep tabs on places i can find vegan recipes : )
No, I am not vegan, but about 99.5% of my recipes are.
beautiful picture of the family!!
Go orange! Aren’t you loving the 20-0 basketball season?
Seriously, best thing EVER.
Fingers crossed for a 2003 NCAA win repeat… Hopefully we’ll have some GMac luck coming our way. It’s great to read a fellow orangewoman’s blog. Good luck for this semester and enjoy the winter.
I love your blog!!
HEY! I started my blog and it’s refreshing to finally find someone around the same age with a blog. I look forward to following!

I love you blog – especially how honest you are. I also enjoyed reading about your mission trip to Nicaragua! (I found your old blog first.) Your recipes are great as well!
Hi there! I just found your blog and like it already. Just stopping by to say hello from Chicago
Hey Katelyn! I just found your blog and I LOVE it! I am a college student too, so it will be neat to see your eats and such as a busy college student
