When I signed up to participate in the Virtual Vegan Potluck weeks ago, I knew without a doubt what I was going to post about. Then I made it. And then I tasted it. And it was an epic fail. I was back to square one and to be perfectly honest, it has been quite the struggle to decide what creation would be the perfect addition to the VVP this year.
