Fruits, Food and Fun!

Hello one and all:
More like just one because that's all I have for a following right now but oh well! If you're reading this, Welcome and thank you for coming.
Up until recently I've been doing really well with not eating animal products but last night I cracked and had a few bites of carrot cake, which actually didn't taste that great!
So, besides my cravings for scones and coffee cake in the morning being vegan has been going pretty well!
Two nights ago I made a vegan mac n cheeze dish (which was a little bland but I'm going to perfect it!)
Tonight I'll be making a vegan split pea soup & I'll post the recipe later. I'm thinking of adding some leeks and potatoes to it which sound so delish right now.

 
The other day I was cruising the internet for information on fruit. I found some extremely interesting topics that I thought I would share...
Fruits! Fruits! magical fruits the more you eats the more you... ;)
