We may have had to cancel our Veganuary Special Sunday at the cafe, but you can still try some vegan treats at home. There are plenty of recipes out there and we thought we would post our own, adapted by our friend at Simply Healthy Lifestyle. This is a raw sweet treat recipe that has…
I usually take great pleasure in baking birthday cakes for my kids. However I made Lukas birthday a little differently this year as it was made entirely out of ice-cream!
