Vegan Carob Waffles

The delicious vegan Carob Waffle  (NOT Pancake) I have been publishing (and sampling) so many carob recipes lately that it was inevitable that I would next come up with a delicious carob waffle recipe-- our household LOVES a great waffle!

Mixed Berry Galette- Saskatoon-Blueberry-Strawberry Indulge in the exquisite simplicity of this delectable rustic galette – a tantalizing, topless pie adorned with a coconut oil-infused short crust. Crafting this culinary masterpiece is a breeze, offering a sumptuous blend of a rich, flaky crust and the vibrant flavors of seasonal berries. (Frozen berries work well too!) As the prospect of a bountiful berry harvest looms, I've taken inspiration to elevate this galette to new heights.
