If there was ever a time we deserved a little treat, it would be now. Settling into #quarantinelife has been interesting, but we are finding lots of new ways to find joy and stay sane. One of those things has been trying and creating new recipes like this!
With extra free time at home, here are some other recipes from our blog you may want to give a try: plant-based lasagna, salmon burgers, cucumber chickpea salad
We are going to do a whole post on the positive things we've discovered during this unprecedented time, but for now we're just going to leave this recipe here. It's super easy, and they are great to just keep in the fridge for a daily treat :)
