The Thanksgiving Dinner can be a challenge for even the best of us. Let’s face it, Thanksgiving is a feasting holiday. This is the dinner your guests have been waiting all year to enjoy. And to top that off, it seems…
Vegan Apple Pie with Olive Oil Crust
Perfectly, imperfect! Pretty much how I view myself and my pie crust! Sometimes I roll it too thin, other times too thick, sometimes it breaks and I patch it up. Always very forgiving, allowing the breaks and mistakes to gently fix themselves. And…
