I've been so excited to upload this recipe- It's one of my favorite recipes I've reinvented. I was inspired by the recipe book by Allyson Kramer Great Gluten Free Vegan Eats- it is probably one of the most inspirational stories of becoming a gluten free and vegan cook, as well as has some of the greatest recipes yet!
I'm a little under the weather today because my dog, Hershey Bear, is not doing well at all :[. I thought this little kick could be a bit of comfort.
