Christmas Chia Parfait w/ Coconut Whipped Cream

by Leave a Comment

Let me start by saying that the moment my family laid eyes on this parfait and had their first bite my mother took the initiative to immediately add this dish to our official Christmas family dinner menu.

And you know what, after all those cupcakes and other indulging treats, this has to be the healthiest. Let’s call it a guilt free dessert/treat  super food!

I’m trying to eat more seasonal and local foods but sometimes you get an offer you can’t refuse and for me that came in the form of…

by Leave a Comment

When I’m visiting a new city I can’t leave without sharing at least one vegan hot spot. These type of posts help me decide where to eat when I’m visiting a new place so I’m always able to enjoy a vegan meal.
