  2. Looking forward to trying a few of these vegan recipes, especially egg salad and burrito bowl! I am also going to see if my kids like the tofu nuggets and mac’n cheese!

  3. Love these ideas! I have recently been exploring transitioning to eating completely Vegan. I got Parsomia back in April and eating has become a daily battle so I figure if all food is going to taste bad I might as well fuel my body with good things. These dishes look like something my family would enjoy with me. 🙂
