Berry Orange Blended Oats (Vegan+GF)
I love it when I discover some new food idea that I’ve never heard of before. It’s especially great when it’s easy and/or healthy and I have all the ingredients to try it. This is one of those times. Okay, have you ever heard of blended oats? I came across the idea on pinterest recently and it was one of those mind-blown moments. I don’t know why I’ve never thought of it before. It’s not complicated at all. The texture is like a slightly grainy yogurt and the flavor is super versatile. For this recipe I added fresh berries and whole oranges but you could honestly use any type…

Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan+GF)
So um, If I ever stop coming up with variations of a chocolate chip cookie you’ll know my body’s been inhabited by aliens or something. Hey, I can’t help it, there’re just so many ways you can recreate this classic treat. That, and I really just love taking photos of them. What can I say? They’re very aesthetic. Okay why would you do a deep dish cookie you might be wondering? Seriously though, is anyone actually wondering that? Hello melty pools of chocolate that can acceptably be eaten with a spoon, double the thick and chewy texture and gooey center, and then there’s always the option to throw some ice…

Frosted Maple Pecan Bars (Vegan+GF)
It’s May already? How is it that when you’re waiting for something time seems to tick by so slowly, then you reach the date you’ve been waiting for and it seems to have flown by? Time is such a strange thing. Well, it’s finally here and I know for many places it’s sort of the threshold for slowly returning to “normal” life. So obviously these last many weeks have given us all some fresh perspective and given a chance to do things we wouldn’t usually do. Personally, I’ve been able to catch up on a million little blog tasks that I’ve been putting off. One of those was to finish…

Cinnamon Banana Bread Baked Oats (Vegan+GF)
How’s your Spring going so far? I’m pretty sure we all imagined our year going completely different a few months ago. I just found out that gyms won’t be opening in our state for about 3 more weeks! I’m seriously going to just die, I miss the gym SOOOOO badly. Yes, working out at home is fine, but there are so many reasons I love going somewhere else to workout. It’s a mood. Anyway, I’m over here trying to distract myself by creating recipes and taking way too many photos of food. So I know we’ve all heard a million times how healthy oats are. I know that for a…

Indian Red Lentil Dahl (Vegan+GF)
I’ve got a new one today, something I’ve actually never made before. I know it’s kind of a love it or hate it type of food, but I love pretty much any Indian dish. When I was a younger my family never really liked it so I didn’t make it much. Of course, now it’s like a staple when I’m batch cooking for just me or me and my roomies. This dish is great to make ahead because it almost gets better next day. Curries are something that I make all the time but I’ve never made a dahl (also spelled dal or daal). If you’ve never tried it either…

Dalgona Coffee + Oat Milk (Vegan+GF)
I don’t know about you but I like to stick to the four basic food groups; berries, carbs, chocolate, and COFFEE! Okay fine, so I got FOMO over this and had to try it since it’s literally everywhere on the internet write now. Especially on tiktok where it’s known as “whipped coffee” or “fluffy coffee”. What can I say, I wanted in on this particular fad. Plus….it’s coffee so there’s really no downside here. For once I can say the internet has chosen a worthwhile craze to obsess over. It’s also extremely photogenic for a drink so bonus points. Writing a recipe for it is kind of a joke since…

Black Rice Ramen with Miso & Tofu (Vegan+GF)
Ramen, it’s comfort food beloved worldwide by college students, struggling creatives, and everyone who hates cooking. It’s quick, easy, salty, and so comforting, but I think we can all agree it’s not exactly the healthiest option. In a time like this though, when the world is a little bizarre, ramen is probably acting as a staple for more than a few. Besides, today we’re talking about a pretty healthy upgrade from your standard nineteen cent bowl of noodle soup. I’m always surprised to realize how few people enjoy cooking in today’s day and age. It’s probably because I enjoy it so much that I can’t understand others not wanting to…
