Does anyone remember how in elementary school, kids' parents would bring in a grocery store birthday cake to celebrate their child's birthday? The good old days. I think by the time I graduated high school that was no longer allowed due to allergies and health & safety policies. Nonetheless, whenever I think about grocery store … Continue reading Whipped Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (vegan)
Crispy Air Fryer Onion Rings (vegan)
I would like to formally thank whoever created the air fryer because I am simply OB-SESSED.

Growing up as a kid, I ate many types of bao buns, custard, lotus seed paste, red bean, and pork and chive filled ones.

Crispy Air Fryer Tofu Nuggets (Vegan)
Choosing a plant-based diet does not mean you have to sacrifice childhood favourites such as nuggets!
