Daniel Fast Season Has Arrived!!

Hi Guys & Happy New Year!
 Can you believe it is already 2016!! I know 2015 was an interesting year for some, however whether it was good, bad, uneventful or exciting; God still has a plan for you and there is a reason that you are here Jeremiah 29:11.

Now obviously with the beginning of the year comes the Daniel Fast for those who participate in it. The daniel fast is a fast where people who participating remove meat, dairy, processed & fried foods, caffeine and sugar from their diets, for a consecrated amount of time. In this time prayer is being done frequently, many also use this as a time for direction and clarity for the new year.

I am currently participating in the fast and will be sharing a few recipes to make this new way of eating not so boring while also trying to keep an all bean diet at bay.  I played around and made a great filling Veggie Taco w/ Avocado Cream Sauce on corn tortillas. This recipe happens to be vegan and vegetarian friendly.
