Can you say “YUM!”, You’ll need to be able to if you’re going to eat these vegan peanut butter cupcakes. I really should stop being surprised when something vegan tastes so good.

It… Continue reading Pineapple Curry
Vego Update – Day 5
The hardest thing about being vegetarian is my compulsion to pick at food while I make meals.
