Halloween has come early for me and this month I decided to focus on how to treat myself, the vegan way, of course! I decided to focus on breakfast items and how I could feel more satisfied and how to make some of my favorite items without the animal products... So treats all around for all my readers! No tricks here...
Below, you can see me dressed up as Daisy from The Great Gatsby for Halloween and all the yummy recipes I made myself (all my recipes have been taken from my favorite recipes and then adapted using ideas from vegan recipes I find in books or on the internet). Enjoy!!
Happy Halloween, everyone!
Never going blond again... But it was fun for the night!
