Vegan Peach Napoleon

Here we go again. The shopping torture continues.

Yesterday my 16 year old niece Raquel took me out to the mall for 3 hours (yes, SHE took ME out), convinced me to buy stuff I would never even look at and even forced me to try on skinny jeans. Skinny jeans! Now that is torture.
But you know what, putting aside my animosity for shopping, I have to admit I had a really nice time, just because I was with her. She is like the younger sister I never had. Over the years I’ve watched this little peanut she was when I first moved here to the US, grow into the amazing, smart, funny young woman she is today.

I know I’ve talked about her before, and I’ll never get tired of doing it, because she amazes me every day. And especially now that she has become our very own “intern”, her talent is really flourishing. She’s been such a great help to us, especially in the creativity department.

This recipe we’re sharing here today is an example. When Galaxy Nutritional Foods offered us to try some of their products, Raquel was he one who came up with this concept that Vicky and I later developed.
