My first all vegan party!

I had a few friends over last Saturday and served an all vegan lunch. It was delish and they all loved it- some even asked for recipes. Two of the dishes were things that I've been making for years but one new one was a hit. I do have to say that there was a funny with this meal- I forgot to put out the carrot and celery sticks! So that really blows the all-vegans-eat-is-carrots-and-celery-sticks!

definitely 5 flamingos!
