Spiced Sweet Potato Bread + Brown Sugar Icing (Vegan)
The decade is almost over guys! I know everyone’s posting retrospective photos, talking about goals for the next decade, and basically just wondering how it passed so quickly. Me? I’m honestly not too concerned about it. I mean, it’s exciting to be starting a new global chapter for sure. I guess I’m just not so into focusing on new year’s (or in this case new decade’s) resolutions as if that’s the only time to make big life decisions. I sort of prefer to make them on a daily basis. Besides, I’ve never been the greatest at sticking to arbitrary resolutions set out of obligation. I think if something matters to…

Homemade Maple Pecan “Larabars” (Vegan+GF)
Guys, I don’t know if you knew this but Larabar addiction is a thing. Have you ever tried the cookie dough one? Omg, it’s mon-ay hon-ay! Also something you may not have noticed, I’m a huuuuuuuuge fan of cookie dough. I think I’m getting old though because I’ve noticed more and more that I’m super sensitive to eating too much sugary/fatty sweets. I mean, it goes without saying that eating poorly is gonna make you feel like crap, that’s obvious. It’s just that I remember being a kid and seemingly being able to eat endless amounts of sweets with no repercussions. Maybe it’s just my tastes changing, dunno. Anyway, that’s…

Disneyland fun at Halloween Time!
Hey Guys! I’m finally home from traveling (for now, lol) I just had the best time in California with my family during the Halloween season. I’m not the biggest fan of Halloween tbh but all of the decor and events going on in the Disney Parks for the season were actually pretty cool. This vid is kind of a mesh of all the days of our trip because I wanted to share some of the highlights with you! (p.s. If you’re wondering why my outfits change it’s because we spent 2 days at each of the parks. 😉 )

Easy Cinnamon Sweet Potato Quick Bread
So I realize this post is coming at you way out of season. I’d blame it on all that time I spent living in the Southern Hem where the seasons are all switched up, but the truth is we recently got this ginormous bag of sweet potatoes and only about half of the people in my house like them. Even then, some of my family members that do like them still seem to think of them as an item reserved for eating at holidays only so that leaves only a few people to eat them. I have no problem having them all to myself basically, and this totally wouldn’t…

Coconut Vanilla Fluffy Bunny Ears Cupcakes (Vegan)
Somehow it’s approaching the end of another month again. How did that happen? Wow, is it just me or is 2018 passing lightning fast? It’s already almost the first of April you guys and coincidentally that’s also Easter Sunday this year. I’ve already ranted about my confusion over Easter’s jumping date on the calendar every year so I won’t go into that, but I am curious, are you getting sunny weather yet? I’ve heard some of my blogger friends over in Colorado and even Montana are still getting snow up in the mountains. Spring seems to be taking it’s sweet time getting here this year, at least for this area.…

Chocolate Oats & Maple Cut-Out Cookies (Vegan+GF)
Easter is approaching fast isn’t it? My sis was telling me about these particular cookies that she’d gotten from a local bakery while I was away traveling. Apparently they were memorable because she still has been asking me to recreate them. The way she described them was that they’re just your basic shortbread cookie, but with that bakery vanilla flavor and a chocolate dip that makes them so good. While I’m definitely going to make her some just like that, I was inspired by her talking about it to try making a little bit of a healthier version. You know, because sweets have a time and place, but it’s good…

Easy Chocolate Drizzled Blood Orange Cream Tart (Vegan)
Hey from San Diego and Happy Valentine’s Day. I’m actually writing this post from one of my flights because, #bloglife, but by the time you’re reading it I’m probably chilling at the beach. We have already taken so many pictures and we haven’t even gotten there yet. I talk about living in Chile quite a bit but as that’s where I started blogging it’s hard not to bring it up sometimes. For example, something that always impressed me during my time in South America, is how real and abundant their produce always was and I found many fruits and veggies that I’d never even heard of. Well, something I…
