Happy New Year Dear Friends!
I hope you are having wonderful first week of 2022 and you are ready for great things. I am sure you all have goals that you are planning to accomplish and I believe you will. So I wish you all the best and I am sending you lots of blessing ✨💖✨
I have also a new recipe for you that I made for the New Years Eve. I make Charcuterie Board like this more than ones a year, usually for birthdays. It is absolutely delicious, healthy, easy to make and everybody loves it.
And eventough CHARCUTERIE means processed pork meat, veganism and plant based diet allows us to change old traditions. We live in time when we don't need processed meat, because we have refrigerators. Also, we are learning that it causes cancer and heart diseases. Nevertheless, we can enjoy plant based sausage occasionally, if we really get a craving, lol.
