This Recipe sounds wonderful. I am what I refer to as ” loose vegan “. I never eat meat and stay away from dairy and eggs as much as possible. If I am out in public or out at someones home and they serve something with eggs in it or some dairy I will eat it and that’s where the ” loose ” part comes in. But, I never consume meat products.
By eating a vegetarian, vegan, or raw food diet it can help significantly with your connection to the other side. Not to mention it’s health benefits !!!
