Hi everyone, hope everyone is having an amazing week. I am going to start by apologizing for not blogging for while, I've been really busy with work and more work.

This recipe is really simple, and takes less than hour to do.  This recipe is simple yet amazing, the taste is all in the spices.

Overall I spent about $20 which is pretty good because people think being a vegan is expansive, which can be sometimes. All the ingredients  can be  bought at your grocer store.
