Guess What?
This edition of Feel Fabulous Friday involves something that I’m sure will make me feel fabulous by whipping up some new fun recipes via this neat cookbook that was sent to me yesterday: Peta’s Vegan College Cookbook!
I was so thrilled and can’t wait to start diving in and trying out some recipes… Although I’m not a vegan, I love my veggies and like eating meat-free occassionally… I already scanned through some of them and I can’t wait to try the quick and easy microwaveable desserts, plus they have a whole section devoted to peanut butter!
But the good news is… you can try these recipes out too! I was offered the opportunity to receive a 2nd cookbook so I decided to give it away to my wonderful readers… so my question for you all is… do you want to Feel Fabulous on this Friday too?
Well guess what?
I’m giving one away to one lucky reader!
You will have until midnight tonight to leave a comment on this post with your favorite vegan dish, snack, dessert, recipe, etc. I will select the winner at random and announce it tomorrow morning!
Happy Friday!
