Welcome! My name is Frances Vandevelde, and I am currently a senior at Auburn University pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition with a minor in Counseling!

I was born and raised in Birmingham, AL with my three older sisters and amazing mom and dad. While my faith has always been important to me, in the eighth grade I grew in deeper fellowship and understanding of the Lord, leading me to create my own website: thedailydoseofjesus.com

This website allowed me to encourage others while also growing in my own faith through writing. In ninth grade, after learning immense knowledge about proper fuel and nutrition on behalf of my own struggles, I was drawn to a new creative outlet: instagram. Thus, @faithfoodfran was born in October of 2019. @faithfoodfran shares a glimpse into my faith, favorite healthy recipes and grocery finds, and the little moments of my life.

For years I have wanted thedailydoseofjesus.com and @faithfoodfran to be joined together into one outlet. Thus, I decided to create faithfoodfran.com, a place for both my writing and recipes to exist together.

I have a desire to serve others and make health and wellness accessible and fun by creating both nutritious and simple meals. As I strive to make Christ the center of my dwelling here on earth, I long for the day when I, myself, as well as the world around me can live out the beautiful words of Romans 12:1 - “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God — this is your true and proper worship.”

I am so happy you’re here!
