[2nd contest] Nuts About You! [Lv.intemediate]
Updated: Apr 28, 2021
Peanut butter and jelly is a kid-friendly classic, but it was time to remix it and give it a new twist! I looked over and saw an innocent package of LIVING JIN Agar Agar and decided to do a little experimenting. This quick and easy recipe is friendly on the budget and the tastebuds.
I'm a plant-based foodie based out of Charleston South Carolina. I love experimenting with new ingredients and techniques to bring familiar flavors and textures to my clients. I transitioned to a plant-based lifestyle after dealing with significant health issues, and life has never been better. I truly believe the direction of your energy towards what you want to manifest in life makes a huge difference.
