Frittata with Spinach & Beef
Frittatas are a great way to use up leftovers! You can pretty much throw in any veggies, and meats (if desired) that you like, pour eggs over the top, add a little cheese, bake and Done! If you like to include greens in your breakfast frittata, always add to the mix a cupful… spinach, kale, […]
No-bake Chocolate PB Oatmeal Cookies

Sundried Tomato-Basil Turkey Sausage

French-Pressed Green Juice Tea with Lemon Wheels
Confession time. I may have a favorite vegan friend. There are reasons for this blatant partiality. This friend is dedicated. While he can be a bit persnickety about his food choices, he is genuine, honest, and true to his personal conviction!
