I’ve been dabbling with the vegan lifestyle for over a year now and I am loving it even though I’m a 90 – 10 vegan because I refuse to have to be a drama queen during family gatherings. Often I share my vegan food snaps in my stories and many people request that I share the recipes so I have decided to do just that!
Watch the following video and let me know if you are going vegan this Veganuary or if you are gonna try any of these recipes. I’ve shared them down below for ease of reference.
