Lauryn Higgins is a freelance journalist based in Lincoln, Neb. When she’s not writing stories for national news and magazine outlets, she loves spending time in the kitchen making plant-based dishes.

We talk about Lauryn's experiences as a vegetarian in the Beef State, how gardening inspires her cooking and developing vegetarian versions of her favorite Southern comfort foods. She also dishes out hot takes on food in a lightning round segment!
