Chocolate and peanut butter is one of my favorite food combinations. I recreated the fudge that was a part of childhood trips to the beach!

I discovered dough balls over the summer. These are a great, five minute-five ingredient treat!

What Does a Vegan Eat? Lunch Edition

I bring you the second post of the "What Does a Vegan Eat?" series. Lunch can be tricky sometimes. During the work week, it has to be portable, delicious, and just the right amount of filling without being too heavy or likely to induce a food coma. Nap time follows lunch time, but unfortunately for me, nap time is only permitted for students.

During the cooler months, soup makes a great lunch. So easy, yummy, filling, warm, comforting! I love soup; I make at least one a week during winter.
