Black Forest Melting Moments

Black Forest Melting Moments

I don’t know where people get the idea that vegans live on air and mung beans (a fittingly stereotypical example shamelessly pinched from Ab Fab’s Edina Monsoon). My sweet tooth hasn’t diminished in the slightest since turning vegan and I can’t imagine not enjoying treats
