Sometimes, you just have to go for it and have chocolate cake. Because you deserve it, right? However, you want to avoid gluten, eggs, and dairy.

Sometimes you’re lucky enough to stumble into a recipe that is so easy to make, and so yummy and nutritious at the same time. Our tempeh/walnut tacos only take a few minutes to whip together, but they taste divine!
