We are Sanya (Mama) and Lara (MamaNana). We both love to cook and experiment in the kitchen. This is just a fun way for us to spend a little extra time together during our busy lives.
Our channel will focus on WFPBNO (Whole Food, Plant Based, No Oil) Vegan recipes and cooking tips. If you’re not vegan, but following a HCLF (High Carb, Low Fat) lifestyle, these recipes will still be perfect for you.
