Raspberry Chocolate Chip Crunchy PB&J Bars (Vegan+GF)
Peanut Butter Jelly Time! Peanut Butter Jelly! Peanut Butter Jelly Time…… Are you guys as happy it’s the weekend as I am? At least tell me you’re ready for something super killer deliciously awesome because this one just couldn’t wait for a weekday. Definitely a weekend treat. I’m also excited that it’s Valentine’s Day this weekend because I’ve been loving the pink theme on my Instagram. It’s a bit of a cliché holiday, I know, but I like to have fun with it. So, going along with the theme I had the inspiration for these cookie bars with raspberry jelly and peanut butter and chocolate. PB&J is maybe not the most romantic of…

Mini Chocolate Chip Bundt Cakes (Vegan+GF)
It’s January so we’re making things a bit healthier and tryna be be good, ya know? These adorable little cakes are perfect for a healthy treat or snack with coffee. They are simple to make and look so elegant when sprinkled with a little bit of powdered sugar. Before I get into this recipe though, can I point out something guys? So I started cooking and baking very young, I’ve been a food blogger for years, worked at restaurant for a good minute, (serving and working in the kitchen), worked in a bakery, and I’ve been vegan for about 3 years. Maybe that much familiarity with food and ingredients gives me an advantage…

Chocolate Cherry Almond Scones (Vegan+GF)
Well, I think we can agree that we never thought 2020 would actually end. Although, the joke is kind of on us since 2021 is starting out to look pretty similar. But we’re not going to talk about that. Let’s talk about these delicious scones. I’ve been working at a bakery part time for a while now and we bake so many flavors of scones. I always end up thinking about how I haven’t made a scone recipe in ages and how many flavors of scones that I would like to try. My favorite part of coming up with recipes is that I can go to the ingredients I have on hand and…

Soft Baked Gingerbread Cookies (Vegan)
Every holiday season needs gingerbread to be complete, can we agree? When I was a kid it was a family tradition to make gingerbread houses every year. We usually had a little friendly competition to see who’s house was the best. It was fun motivation for the little ones to not give up as soon as they got bored and also to not eat all their sweet decorations before the process was done. The downside of our tradition was always that we’d use those pre-assembled kits that tasted like drywall. They’re so convenient if you have kids and don’t want to spend hours baking and assembling, but for eating they are a no-go.…

Chocolate Coated Pumpkin Spice Cups (Vegan+GF)
I can’t believe how quickly this month has passed by. I’m struggling to keep up with the season because the area I live in tends to switch between Summer and Winter and forget all about Autumn. We just had a record breaking first snow and I’m loving the beauty but also…..like seriously? I really wanted more Autumn. I feel jipped. 😐 Anyway, it’s making think about Christmas season and we’re not even to Halloween yet. Don’t worry, I’ll reign in my obsessive love of Christmas for at least a few more weeks. ;P Despite it feeling like Winter here already, I’m still in the mood for pumpkin spice everything. I was trying to…

Simple Cinnamon Crumb Cake (Vegan+GF)
Ok, so tell me if I’m the only one who thought this… …but I always thought coffee cake actually had coffee in it. I mean, maybe it should because that sounds delicious, but it’s also good as is with no coffee. Either way, can’t we just fix the confusion and just call it crumb cake or something? I think it’s just as good a title for this simple and classic treat. Another question; does this count as a breakfast food? Personally, I believe in a balanced approach to health and nutrition so def wouldn’t recommend having it as a regular breakfast. However, sometimes the weekends just need to start off with a little…

No-Bake Vanilla Cashew Cheesecakes (Vegan+GF)
When life gives you Summer strawberries in abundance……..you make vanilla cheesecake to contrast their gorgeous color and highlight their sweet tart flavor! Seriously though, strawberries are a steal right now. We have too many so I’ve been trying to come up with more ways to eat them and use them in new recipes. Quite a happy task for someone who loves berries as much as I do. I just love that they can go well with so many things, savory and sweet. Anyway, this recipe isn’t even about strawberries necessarily, it’s about these delicious cashew vanilla cheesecakes. So to be honest, I’ve had a lot of challenges finding a vegan cheesecake recipe that…
