Daisy's is more than a vegan restaurant, it's an experience

Daisy's is more than a vegan restaurant, it's an experience
Daisy’s is a vegan restaurant in the south suburb of Phoenix, IL, just outside of Harvey.  I’m relatively new to the vegan scene so I’d never heard of this hidden gem that’s been operating for the past 8 years. For longtime vegans, they already know of the delicious meals and often place their orders in... Read more »

    I am a wife and mother blessed to have six daughters who fill my home with love and laughter. My passion is writing and teaching, but most especially inspiring people to live healthy lives in my faith-filled fitness classes. My dream is to have my own faith and fitness TV show where people from all the world collectively join together on our "temple" building project of enjoying optimal health. I am a certified group fitness instructor by the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), and earned graduate degrees in Writing from DePaul University, in addition to a degree in Exercise Science and Health Promotion from the California University of Pennsylvania. I have seen and experienced the hand of God work and move in my life, and consider it an honor and blessing to be saved to serve.
