      Any reason every page is covered with pictures of beef burgers? Offputting for a vegan

        I'm so sorry about that, it's the ads. I'll get in touch with my ad network about this, so sorry about that I completely understand! Thank you so much for letting me know.

      Thank you for your gift and being willing to share. I certainly understand how you feel. I am gluten-intolerant, corn-intolerant, histamine-intolerant (check that list out:(), allergic to a host of other foods and spices (bananas, eggs, peppers, tumeric, cumin, etc.). I have IBS (and have to avoid fruit and other sugars) and a host of other issues. I miss apples so much. I can pretty much each chicken and rice. So I pretty much rely on people who have the desire, skills, time, and energy to experiment with recipes. Thank you so much!
