August 22, 2023 at 2:12 amGreat article! These vegan Valentine’s Day recipes are a fantastic way to celebrate while staying true to our principles. The “Heart Beet Ravioli” sounds delicious and creative. Also, as a dedicated vegan, I’m curious about organic vegan supplements (example: https://rawsci.com/) to ensure I’m getting all the essential nutrients. It would be awesome to see future articles covering ethical supplement options. Thanks for the mouthwatering recipes and inspiration!
