Pumpkin Spice Latte Baked Oatmeal
Hello again, my lovely friends! Wow, October is flashing by and I’ve yet to make enough pumpkin recipes to meet what I’d consider to be a bare minimum as a food blogger. My brother-in-law is so humored by the fact that everything turns pumpkin in September that he took pictures of all the pumpkin products he found on his last grocery shopping trip with my sister. He found SO many too so it’s been a family joke recently how many things marketers convert to pumpkin. Hey, I’m loving it with no complaints. (By the way, has anyone found seasonal flavors of peanut butter around North Idaho????) I guess it’s not…

Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Smoothie (Vegan+GF)
Hey Loves, I hope you’re enjoying the start of the season and getting excited about all things pumpkin and spice! How was your weekend? Mine was spent doing some house cleaning (which I find kind of therapeutic sometimes believe it or not), going to a little Fall festival in Sandpoint, and then some shopping for my upcoming plans. I haven’t bought new clothes like this in a very long time so I had way too much fun trying it all on. I can hardly recognize myself because I can’t recall ever enjoying shopping like this. Clearly that’s changed because I must have tried on the entire store. Something else I…

Thai Peanut Quinoa Macro Bowls (Vegan+GF)
That moment when you write a great (long) post to share with your peoples and it all gets erased……….uh huh…….yeah. I’m so sorry guys but I literally just lost my entire post, thank you crappy internet connection! I mean I could just not mention it but I was already in a #KeepinItReal mood today, so I’m thinking this post is going to be pretty short and sweet now. I hope you guys don’t mind. In what I had written I talked and explained some things about this trip I keep bringing up. Well, instead of trying to remember everything I said I’m just going to shorten it down and tell you…

Golden Vanilla Cake + Chocolate Buttercream Frosting (Vegan)
Firstly, someone drank my entire cup of coffee, like what???? Secondly, please do not ask me who’s birthday it is/was. Seriously, you’d think my family would have figured out by now that I sometimes get the random urge to make an unnecessarily large, lovely, and delicious cake for absolutely no good reason at all. Yes, well apparently they haven’t because I think I got asked why I was making this cake about two dozen times by various people the day that I was working on it. So I actually did have a good reason to make it though, I felt it was a huge gap missing from my recipe list. I realized the…

White Chocolate Pretzel Pumpkin Spice Cake Ball Truffles
It could have been with my favorite flowers sprouting up in the yard, or possibly with one of the sporadic hail showers that I love so much this time of year, but nope, it was with bugs that Spring finally decided to announce to me it’s arrival this year. More specifically, it was with this ginormous beetle banging against my window last night, attracted by the light no doubt, that the season decided to tell me it was ready to stop being so fickle and end the cold-shoulder treatment it’s had going on. Wouldn’t you know it? I mean, wasn’t it just last weekend that I was saying how I hoped the…

Pumpkin Bread & Maple Cream Pudding Trifles
I’ve got something delicious to share with you…….but it’s only a trifle! Hehe, sorry for the pun intended, I couldn’t resist. Alright, correct me if I’m wrong, but I feel like the passing of October and Halloween mark the point in the year at which it’s completely acceptable to switch on all of our holiday gears. Don’t you agree? If you don’t it’s probably still best to just nod and pretend that you do because I don’t think I’ll be able to contain my excitement either way. I guess you could say that I’m just a lot more fun this time of the year because it’s my absolute favorite! I…

Streusel Crumb Topped Classic Pumpkin Pie
I realized something recently that I’d never really thought about before; my family really loves pie. I mean, I’ve always known that they liked it of course because every holiday season there has to be pie on the dessert menu and it usually disappears pretty fast. Okay, so maybe this is completely naive of me to have thought this, but I always figured that its appeal was more about the tradition and novelty than the actual pie. Yeah, that was pretty silly of me to think that I guess. Anyway, my mom sort of has this thing for apple pie (it’s a big thing), and she asked me if I…
