Vegan Recipes | Made to Nourish
Hi friends!Sending you into the weekend with one of those meal starter ideas that I keep mentioning this month. This easy vegan sausage mushroom marinara pasta isn't a recipe (and I'm not sure that this share even constitutes a proper blog post!), but it's one of the re-heatable dinners I've made most often for sustenance and comfort food during my DI.
