Everything in the world has changed, when I walk to the mailbox, the sun is shining, but nobody is outside. It feels like I’ve entered some kind of apocalyptic world; maybe I have? I’m certainly ready for the metaphorical darkness and shadows of the current state to lift.

Typically when I photograph my food, for some reason, I like to keep things on the darker, more shadowy side. However, these tacos made me so happy; I wanted them to be bright, airy, and delicious-looking. So I went for it. My style can evolve and change--just like my diet and taste buds. I eat a mainly plant-based diet, and it’s unlikely that you’re ever going to catch me with a “standard” taco, because I'm always changing things up. There are so many fun variations, and this is one of my newest favorites!

Seriously easy vegan tacos with ranch sauce and chickpeas.
