Fall is in the air…except if you live here in Los Angeles! Regardless wherever you are you can enjoy the food that represents the season giving you a real sense of warmth and an excuse to eat some really healthy comfort foods! These are vegan and super delicious! If you decide to throw in a few grain sweetened chocolate chips at the last minute you can make them extra special and have a real dessert!
