Creamy, rich, vegan ramen is definitely possible, and super easy to make at home! Ramen has always been something I adored, although I had only ever tried it once I was vegetarian.

I’m about 90% sure that Canadians get more depressed and grouchy in the winters because it’s so gloomy all the time. It’s no […]
