On Wednesday, September 18, I will be representing Whole Foods Market, Laguna Beach at the Taste of Laguna food festival. Our store will be presenting 2 dishes, and I am presenting the vegan one. Because this is a store sponsored event, I used ingredients easily purchased at the store. I am sharing this recipe, along with giving away a $25 gift card to Whole Foods Market, paid for out of my very own pocket. (Just follow the prompts in the widget below to enter. Sorry, this one is only open to US residents.)

I love Whole Foods, and not just because I work there. I have been shopping and eating at Whole Foods long before I worked for the company. I know many vegans have a problem with Whole Foods because they do sell and serve meat and dairy.
