Happy Cinco de Mayo! Today is a big day of festivities for me, as I shall also be celebrating my 24th year of veganism and dedication to a lifelong journey of commitment toward peaceful co-existence with all fellow Earthlings.

Happy Vernal Equinox! Many thanks to everyone who voted on recipes to be posted for the first week of Spring. ☼ ❀ ✾ ❁☺ This creamy sauce was another fun bit of experimentation with Sunwarrior’s delicious vanilla protein powder, which ended up tasting as luscious as it looked.
