Autumn Harvest Muesli
I pretty much eat muesli every single morning. There’s so many ways to make it, combining different fruits. Until now, I never thought to add shredded carrot to my muesli.

Creamy Green Bean and Tomato Salad
This recipe was adapted from a recipe I found on the blog 101cookbooks. The original recipe was not vegan, and I also tweaked the ingredients a little bit, using ingredients I had available from my grandma’s garden.
