When we think of holiday dinners we think of turkey, dressing, yams, mashed potatoes and ever popular green bean casserole. But you know sometimes we want something different. We don’t want to eat the same old foods and have the same old leftovers. Guess what?

That is ok.

This week we are discussing vegan breakfast. One of the VFL subscribers, is a transitioning and they are absolutely stumped on breakfast ideas. I decided to push the topic I was going to do this week to next week so that I can answer the subscriber’s question.
