Stephanie A. Meyer

Owner, Project Vibrancy Meals

Stephanie A. Meyer is a Minneapolis-based author, recipe developer, cooking instructor, and health coach. She has written three cookbooks and is the owner of Project Vibrancy Meal Plans and Coaching.

Meyer began writing about food and cooking in 2006 when she created her blog, Fresh Tart. What began as an exploration of healthy indulgence, balance, and moderation, shifted into a blog sharing gluten-free and allergen-friendly recipes in 2010 when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Meyer began conversations with several Twin Cities chefs about healthy cooking, which became a column for Minnesota Monthly Magazine called Cook Like, and eventually expanded into a cookbook called "Twin Cities Chef’s Table", published in 2014.

In 2017, Meyer launched Project Vibrancy Meals, a monthly meal-planning membership with a focus on teaching members to batch cook healthy meals in their homes. Many of the members have food allergies or autoimmune disease, but most just feel better following a nutrient-dense, gluten-free diet. Project Vibrancy Meals are focused on big flavors and cooking with whole, fresh ingredients and have helped hundreds of people learn to consistently cook healthy meals for themselves and their families. In 2018, Meyer added online coaching services, both individually and in groups. She teaches monthly Cook Along with Stephanie batch cooking classes on Zoom.

Meyer published both The 30-Minute Paleo Cookbook and The Kickass Condiments E-book in 2020. She is currently working on launching a podcast called The Discomfort Code, an exploration of how embracing and learning from discomfort in all of its forms is the path to creating a vibrant life..
