Ohhhh fantastic. I discovered your blog not too long ago. I love it! I’m a vegan as well but I most certainly wasn’t raised that way. In fact, as I read your story, it became apparent that we were raised in a similar fashion.
Anyway, love your blog. I generally cook more and partake in the foodie loving lifestyle but currently I’m living in Japan with a very microscopic kitchen sans an oven or full-sized fridge. 28 days until I’m reunited with a full sized kitchen!
That corn gazpacho looks delicious.
yeah, even though my kitchen is small, i don’t know what i’d do without it. i’m constantly using my stove and oven.
thanks for the comment!
it is!
Mango kale smoothie? YUM! Love your blog!
woah, is that corn and avocados?? amazing. there’s nothing like summer produce!
