Hi hi! Welcome to my plant-based corner of the internet. I’m so so so excited you’re here!

I’m Alexa, and I have a deep, passionate love of fruits, veggies, nuts, whole grains, and dessert. Reading about, learning about, eating, enjoying, devouring food is my favorite past-time.

What in the world is a Fooduzzi?

First of all, it’s pronounced Foo-do-zee. Over the 2+ years I’ve been blogging, I’ve heard quite a few guesses, my favorite being that Fooduzzi stood for Food Uzzi…like a food gun. What.

Surprisingly enough, the name “Fooduzzi” does not mean “food gun.” Instead, it’s a play on my last name, Peduzzi (Pe-do-zee). Some of my fondest food memories growing up were spent around the dinner table, in the kitchen with my parents, or traveling and eating. So Fooduzzi is an homage to my food journey, if you will.

Some things you should know about me

• I really love peanut butter. And chocolate. And cookies.
• I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and I love love love it. It’s such a great time to be a Pittsburgher.
• Starting Fooduzzi was the best thing I ever did.
• You can read even more about me here on my About page if you so desire!

Readers’ favorite recipes

I started Fooduzzi in December 2014, so I have quite a few recipes under my belt. Over the past 2+ years, some have really resonated with my readers, including:

Broccoli & Quinoa Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing – The most popular recipe on my blog! It couldn’t be more easy, and it’s delicious warm, cold, or at room temp!

The Easiest Way to Cut a Watermelon – This way of cutting a watermelon as truly changed my life in the summer. So easy, and the pieces are just so cute!

Thai Peanut Hummus – Hummus made with peanut butter, garlic, ginger, and Sriracha. Omg.

Healthy Buffalo Chickpea Dip – A vegetarian (or vegan) buffalo chicken dip! It’s just as creamy and spicy as the original. Pinky promise.

I love each and every recipe on my site in its own special way, but, of course, I have my favorites. Here are the recipes that will always get a gold star in my book:

The Big Vegan Rainbow Bowl – It’s topped with this maple almond butter dressing that I could seriously drink through a straw.

Cheez-it Roasted Chickpeas – Roasted chickpeas…that taste like Cheez-its. Enough said.

Strawberry White Bean Caprese Salad with Honey Black Pepper Granola – Have you ever seen such a beautiful sight?! The honey black pepper granola croutons are so so perfect.
