Vegan Pizza

Eating healthy doesn't have to be as bad as it seems, I realized cooking your own food makes it more rewarding to eat healthy. Many times people don't like to eat healthy because they think it taste bad and also because many times healthy options aren't available. I wanted to share my favorite vegan recipe and also tips to staying healthy.
