#sepgoesveganish! As I get older…not that I’m old by any means ;-)…my motivation to eat well is shifting from looking good to being healthy. I don’t claim to be vegan by any means but I have been focusing my weekday diet on mostly plant based meals. So far, I feel more energized and have even lost a couple lbs!
Eating more plant based foods also means that I’ve been doing tons of recipe testing and I’m very excited to share this no-bake carrot cake truffle recipe with you!
