This looks amazing, Lena! For me, looks is important as well as nutrition.
You present it so well, you would make a meat eater want to change. It's full of yummy things, but, I must ask... what are rainbow carrrots? I have never seen any or heard of them before! Thanks!
Good luck! tip!
Thank you so much my Dearest and sorry for the late reply. I am still catching up with FAV, lol. I am so happy you like it and what you think about my influence on meat eaters. Well, I am doing my best and I really wish it would work out that way. Hopeful slowly but surely, lol.
Regarding your question about the rainbow carrots, they are my favorite, not only because they are colorful, but because they taste very sweet. I use them a lot in many of my recipes ๐ธ๐๐ธ
thank you now i know what i'm having for lunch lol
Omg that actually looks so amazing! So happy to find another vegan food creator here!
Pad Thai is one of my favorite dishes! This is so good looking and the caramelized eggplant is calling my name :-) So wonderful, Lena!
Thank you so much Dear Icy, I am very happy to hear that ๐
I bet that bowl is bursting with flavor! All those yummy herbs are calling my name. ๐คฃ One of the local vegan restaurants has a good Pad Thai dish, but yours looks even better!
I never had Pad Thai in vegan restaurant yet............. I definitely would love to try. Although I love Pad Thai from traditional Thai restaurants, I don't trust them, especially because of the fish sauce.
