Come wintertime, hearty meals are probably at the forefront of everyone’s minds–foodwise, anyway. And for good reason; like, it’s freaking cold outside. We want something to warm our insides that tastes comforting and filling.
During my childhood as a not-vegan, chicken and peppers was a staple dinner that my mom cooked for us all the time. It was spicy, savory and protein-packed. Unfortunately when I went vegan in 2013, I could no longer partake of it.
I would say that one of the best feelings in the world is slicing open an avocado and finding that it’s perfectly ripened. Not too hard, not too mushy–it truly feels like a victory for the day.
