Ola my friend! May 2024 vegan season was almost a blur. I officially transitioned to my vegetarian season the last week of May. I am not sure how I feel about this. I am a little sad and happy lol. I still eat mostly vegan. However, there were a couple of delicious apple fritters that found me and I know they are not vegan. But I will make vegan apple fritters in the future. I am so excited to try this because I love a good crunchy soft melt in your mouth apple fritter. So much sugar I am sure but I promise to make it healthy and delicious.
I managed to meal prep all of May except for the last week. Meal prepping every week has been an enormous weight off my shoulders and bank account. It’s a relief to be able to save time, effort, money, emotional energy, and mental equity.
Ready for the recap? Let’s go!
