Vegan Travel

Before visiting a new city or a country,  I always make it a point to see the website, Happy Cow.


Happy Cow is a great website, it lists all the vegetarian and vegan restaurants in a city.

Vegan Oats and Nuts Bar

The moment I saw Oats and Nuts Bar in the blog - Sharmi's Passions, I decided to make it.

Yesterday , I made these delicious bars . These bars are so tasty and filling.  Everyone in my family loved them.

Here is the link to the recipe, http://www.sharmispassions.com/2010/01/dates-oats-and-nuts-fudge-its-sugarfree.html

Along with dates , I used almonds and pistachios to make this bars. And I used a tablespoon of maple syrup instead of oil.

I hope you  make these delicious bars!
