Hi, I’m Amber O’Shields.

I’m the face behind Madison Eats, a name inspired by my roots. I was born and raised in Madison County, Alabama, and this community continues to shape everything I create.

My plant based journey began over 23 years ago here in Huntsville when I became vegetarian, and for the past decade I’ve been fully vegan. What started as a personal choice has grown into a passion for sharing the joy, simplicity, and flavor of plant forward eating.

Through Madison Eats, my goal is to show that adding more plant based foods into your life doesn’t have to feel restrictive or complicated. It is approachable, fun, and full of flavor. I don’t see it as a diet, but simply the way I choose to nourish myself, often through seasonal comfort foods and plant based twists on Southern classics.

Whether you’re vegan, veg curious, or simply someone who loves good food, Madison Eats is here to inspire you with recipes, local finds, and fresh ideas, right here in Madison County and beyond.
