Well, after getting my hands on a copy of the book Veganish: The Omnivores Guide To Plant-Based Cooking, I found a recipe! I read and reviewed this book on a previous post, which you can find here <3 I definitely recommend this book to those that are transitioning into a plant-based diet. It covers basic topics of transitioning as well as specifics in cooking techniques that will help you improve your skills in the kitchen as well. Dried Fruit Compote & Giveaway

Sweet Pumpkin Chia PuddingI really thought that by the time this fall holiday season ended, I would be all pumpkin'd out, but I'm still on a pumpkin kick! I made another batch of my Pumpkin Pecan Milk and decided I would see how it would turn out as a Sweet Pumpkin Chia Pudding and oh my, this recipe is heaven in a cup. It is so light, yet it's decadent and creamy. My parents thought I was serving them some vegan junk food, and they devoured it!

It covers any and every type of recipe you may be craving, and will help you prove to yourself, and the world, that living this lifestyle is not only easy, but it is enjoyable and such a beautiful way to live.

Leftover Lentil Sandwich Bread + Avocado ToastLeftover Lentil Sandwich Bread + Avocado Toast The other day when my mom and I were making my Quinoa, Lentil and Arugula Salad together, we got a little carried away in our conversation and we forgot about our red lentils cooking on the stove.
