    Have you gone vegan yet? Eating a plant-based diet is gaining such popularity because it is:

    • nutritionally sound
    • good for the environment by lowering the carbon footprint
    • a more sustainable way of feeding your family than other diets

    According to The Vegan Society "Going vegan is a great opportunity to learn more about nutrition and cooking, and improve your diet. Getting your nutrients from plant foods allows more room in your diet for health-promoting options like whole grains, fruit, nuts, seeds and vegetables, which are packed full of beneficial fibre, vitamins and minerals.”

    So are you on board with giving our vegan tacos a try? Great! You’re going to love them, especially topped with a summer salsa brimming with fresh juicy peaches!

    Vegan Chickpea Tacos

    Decorations for a taco party

    Taco time is a good time for a taco party! Tacos are the best party food and always put me in a fiesta state of mind!

    If you decide to actually go all out and have a taco party, you definitely must start with hanging this Taco About A Party Banner (this makes me crack up every time!).

    Then add a colorful Serepe Plastic Tablecloth, or this set of hand woven serape table runners in fextive colors (or both!) and these adorable Fiesta Paper Striped Party Straws with Tacos, Sombreros and more on them.

    A taco serving plate with all the sections is an ideal way to serve all your favorite toppings and be sure to don your let's taco about it t-shirt (again, cracking up here!) and let the fiesta begin!
