Polenta Fries {Vegan Gluten-Free}

There is a photograph of me, somewhere, in a dusty old album, probably at my dad’s place, a grinning 2-year-old, happily splashing in the surf at Long Beach near Tofino. We were there for a family vacation, and showed my true colours early—any time I

Vegan Coconut French Toast #Aquafaba

Vegan Coconut French Toast #Aquafaba

I’m pretty proud of this one. First of all; who doesn’t like French Toast? I mean, it’s sweet and crispy on the outside, and you have all the excuses in the world to load it up with maple syrup, fruit, and more. But I needed
