Following a Raw Foods, vegan, vegetarian, gluten/dairy free or Paleo/Primal Blueprint diet?
Luckily there are plenty of options for you these days!
A friend passed this recipe along which she found on WholeFoodsMarket’s site; I haven’t yet tried it but am excited to give it a shot, so I’m getting it up on the site to have it ready when we test it out this weekend.
Enjoy!
