Something that I have been hooked on lately is oats for breakfast! The weather is starting to cool down here in Los Angeles and that is making me want all things warm and cozy 🙂 These Zucchini Oats would be perfect alongside a hot cup of my Easy Vegan Superfood Hot Chocolate!
I am also excited to share that I am going to be participating in Vlogmas 2015!
First off, what is a vlog? It is a Video Blog! That simple. For Vlogmas, 25 videos will be released in 25 days, leading up to Christmas Day! This is going to be a big challenge for me but definitely worth it. I am excited to get more personal with my audience and show you snippets of my day to day life!
Check out this video + all of the 25 I will be releasing on My Youtube Channel!
