My dear friend Jenn Seaman and I had so much fun putting together this absolutely delicious Vegan Quinoa Salad with Cream Cheese. It’s surprisingly easy, and so yummy! Sure to be a hit with the whole family. I love how Jenn says to always make this bigger batch as well. That way you can easily share it with your friends and coworkers or bring it to a party.
It was so fun to cook together, such an amazing way to connect and come together. Share the joy!
Huge shoutout again to my sweet 13-year old daughter, Matilda, for editing this video. She kept the bloopers too. Love that! We’re so silly! Ha, ha! Always stay young at heart my sweet girl. Just like us!
Absolutely love being vegan, and I’m so grateful that we get to share this joy with all of you. Cooking plant based food like this Vegan Quinoa Salad, just fills my heart with joy. Then to top it off, cooking with great friends, just fills my cup to the brim. I’m so happy!
If you would have asked me 10 years ago if I’d ever consider going vegan, I would have just looked at you like if you were going a little nuts. Ha, ha and look at me now. I love it!!
