Hi! I'm Marielle.

As the first person in my family with a serious food allergy, I had to navigate a steep learning curve, figuring out what was safe to eat in a world where soy is everywhere. From hidden ingredients in processed foods to adjusting my favorite meals, it’s been a journey of learning, adapting, and finding joy in the process.

Food allergies are often misunderstood, and I want to change that. Living with a food allergy isn’t just about avoiding certain foods—it impacts everyday life, from dining out to traveling to social gatherings. I also define my allergy as a disability, something that isn’t always recognized or taken seriously.Through Not Soy Sweet, I share what it’s like to live soy-free—my personal experiences, favorite recipes, beauty finds, travel adventures, and creative projects.

These days, there are more soy-free options than ever, and I’m always on the lookout for new ways to enjoy food and life without soy. Whether it’s experimenting in the kitchen, discovering the best soy-free products, or finding ways to make life with allergies feel a little more joyful, I’m excited to share it all with you.

So, welcome! Let’s navigate this soy-free life together—one meal, adventure, and creative moment at a time.
