Cookie Dough Rawnola (Vegan+GF)
Wow, January is over already? That was so fast! I have a feeling the rest of the year isn’t going to be any slower, but I’m kind of wishing there was a pause button. You know, so we could get our lives together a little bit. I don’t know, maybe that’s part of the beauty of life, that none of us know what we’re doing. What I do know is that 2020 has plenty of space for all the healthy treats. This being one of my favorites lately. Now before I tell you about the recipe maybe some disclaimers are in order. Again, this is 2020 and things aren’t the same as they…

Acai Dragon Fruit Berry Smoothie Bowl (Vegan+GF)
I’m pretty sad to say it but I think yesterday was my last day of skiing for the season. We’ve been going up to Schweitzer Mountain Resort so much this season and I’m proud to report I’ve improved a lot on my form. All through February the weather was bitterly cold and we got dumped on with snow but this week has seen a huge shift in temperatures. I think it’s safe to say that yesterday was clearly the end of the cold. The sky was crystal blue, the rooftops were dripping streams of melting snow, and everyone on the slopes was shedding their layers throughout the day. In fact, I’m currently…

Chocolate Chip French Toast Muffins (Vegan+GF)
Am I the only one who hates seeing the perfectly good bread heels go in the trash? Well, if you’re with me on this then you’ll be extra excited about this recipe because it’s a perfect way to use them and any stale bread for that matter. Don’t worry though, if bread waste isn’t a problem for you this recipe can be made with fresh bread also. As for the chocolate chips, they can be replaced with a bunch of different things. Whether you just don’t like chocolate with cinnamon, have an allergy, or are following a low fat diet there are plenty of other options. I personally love the chocolate but if…

Homemade Almond Milk + Video (Vegan+GF)
I think it’s pretty safe to say there are a lot of options for plant-based milks on the market today. You’ve got oat milk, cashew milk, rice, soy, pistachio, hazelnut, hemp, and the list goes on and on……… So, why then, would you want to go to the effort of making your own? I mean, if you haven’t seen all the hilarious memes of desperate people spending all their time “milking” almonds every morning then what are you doing with your life? (Google it if you want a laugh 😉 ) But anyway, there are actually tons of reasons that you might want to make your own. Firstly, the taste is so much…

Oaty Pumpkin Pancakes + Maple Nut Butter Spread (Vegan+GF)
I’ve been really loving oats lately. During the Summer I felt like I could eat allllllll the fruit but the moment the weather shifted all I’ve wanted are warm foods. Now plain old oats can seem really boring to some people, and that’s okay. However, if you want to get the best of both worlds by eating your healthy oats and doing it in a way you love, make oatmeal pancakes! OOoooh, and add pumpkin and spice and everything nice! (Did I take that too far? yeah probably.) Not only do these have all the benefits of whole grains but they’ve also got some sneaky fruits and veggies from the pumpkin and applesauce.…

Healthy Pumpkin Pie Spiced Hummus with Cinnamon Graham Crackers (Vegan)
So it’s finally starting to feel consistently like Fall which officially means it’s time for #pumpkinspiceeverything. If you think I’m exaggerating, just wait until the end of October. Haha, my brother-in-law has been loving to make fun of me, my sister, and any other American girl that enjoys pumpkin. As he says we’re “basic white girls” and apparently that applies to all my fellow Autumn fanatics. Hey, I’m not ashamed to own it because I do love it! I mean, have you seen all the pumpkin flavored things at the store????? How can that not be fun and exciting? I’m hoping to take my little sister and my nephew to visit a pumpkin…
