Vegan American Cheese Review

Plant-based and Vegan cheeses have come a very long way, since I started my lifestyle as predominantly vegetarian.

Sourdough Sheet Pan Focaccia

There’s something wonderful about a thin, crispy and warm from the oven Focaccia Bread. Even after the Focaccia has cooled, it retains the delectable softness and moisture.

Roasted Beets

I love beets, in any form, but especially roasted. I find that when beets are roasted, their natural sweetness comes out the most. I have fond childhood memories of eating pickled beets with mayo, yes it’s an interesting combination, that I’ve since grown out of. Why have I grown from this memory? Well it’s just…
