Focaccia {gluten-free & vegan}

Last weekend I had the treat of going to a friends house for lunch and she made Focaccia (gluten-free and vegan!) and I made my pesto. The focaccia was so delicious; it melted in my mouth and definitely hit the spot for this gluten-less girl. I can't wait for you to try it.

So how's everyone's summer going?Mine's been full of LOTS of yoga :). I've been going to various vinyasa classes about 4-5 times a week and have been LOVIN' it! Yoga is so amazing because depending on the type of class you go to it can be a serious workout. Not to mention all classes are great for toning muscles and quieting a chatty mind. I've been leaving class looking like I just stepped out of the shower (i love that feeling of an awesome workout!). Best of all, I've noticed a shift in my meditations...my mind seems to focus a little faster than before which makes for awesome meditations.What's your yoga practice looking like this summer? Hope it includes a little savasana (corpse pose) on a nice patch of green or in front of some cool water :).Happy summer!xo,Kajalp.s. I've also been drinking a lot of my favorite summer time beverage...Indian Limeade...if you haven't tried it, it's especially great on HOT summer days because of the natural electrolyte content!
