EASY VEGAN SUMMER RECIPES

Hi, guys! I hope you’re having a wonderful week and enjoying some summertime fun! This time of the year brings back so many fond memories of going to my Grandma’s house, playing in the backyard, and eating fresh corn on the cob and juicy watermelon slices. She loved cooking for her family and would spend all day getting everything prepared. My parents have carried on the tradition by hosting picnics and cookouts at their house through the summer, so our children get to experience the same memories we once did. I found some delicious vegan recipes on Pinterest for those backyard get-togethers and just had to share them with all of you! Check out my Pinterest for even more ideas!
