I love dispelling the myth that healthy food can’t be absolutely delicious. There’s something really satiating about eating a dessert that not only tastes scrumptious, but is also full of healthy ingredients. A good ‘Fig-a-licious Vegan Tart’ is free from diary, egg, wheat, gluten, refined sugar and it STILL tastes delectable. Since the blog was about a great fruit and my favourite 'Figs' thought I would throw in my 2 cents for the blogger who took the time out to provide such delectable, tasteful and healthy 'foodipedia' - love it, keep 'em coming!!!
