Who here associates a vegan diet with bland food, salads, and never again eating the foods you enjoy? It doesn’t have to be that way! A vegan diet is so much more than people realize.

Made the lemon sorbet-so refreshing on a hot summer day! Topped with fresh raspberries! Will make again!
Also, made a crisp with fresh peaches. Would cut back on the sugar just a bit. Very good flavor! Thanks for the recipes!
Yum to both!! Glad you enjoyed!
