Autumn Squash Soft Pretzels (Vegan+GF)
It’s getting so close to being officially Autumn and I’m so psyched! I won’t even bother starting on how much I love this time of year because I’m afraid it’s all I’ve been talking about lately. However, I will give fair warning that I’m almost certainly going to be getting a little excited about the theme in my coming recipes. So with these pretzels, I was thinking back to a recipe for dinner rolls that I made using pumpkin. It’s a similar idea, but let’s be honest, pretzels are way more fun. I had some different squashes that I wanted to try and both of them turned out well. One was a butternut…

Chocolate & Coconut Pumpkin Brownies
It’s been a while since I shared a brownie recipe hasn’t it? Well, it’s time to change that for sure. I was scrolling through some of my really old recipes the other day and realizing that I’ve never made a completely vegan brownie. I’ve tried tons of variations but I don’t think I’ve ever taken on the challenge of creating a good one before. For these I used some pumpkin for texture and to help keep them on the healthier side of things. I know, you’re probably like “How could you defile a perfectly good browine with veggies!” :O Honestly though, these might surprise you by how good they are without a ton of…

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 be a problem…

Dark Chocolate Coated Christmas Tree Cakes
I know, Christmas is so close! I guess you could say it’s a bit late to be posting a recipe for the holiday but I say you can never be to late for chocolate. So it’s been pretty quiet around here recently, hasn’t it? The thing is, I’ve sort of been taking a bit of a mindful step away from all things internet and social media related over the past few weeks so I could focus on real life things like family, Christmas shopping, side projects, and plans for next year. What have you guys been up to? I honestly have no idea what to expect of next year for me after this…

Chai Spiced Buttermilk Waffles (Vegan+GF)
Is there such a thing as being too obsessed with all things Christmas? And even if there is, is there anything wrong with that? I’ll leave that open for you to decide as I’m busy celebrating the season over here. There’s frost all over the windows this morning and the fires burning in the background to my coffee sipping while snuggled in a flannel blanket close to the sparkling Christmas tree. I love this time of year. Alright, so our current house has a gas fire so my scene is missing the smell the smoke and, yes, it’s also very cold outside for any outings which is a bit bit of a down…

Cranberry White Chocolate Streusel Muffins
I think it’s a pretty generally observed fact that when one member of a big family gets the flu, everyone has it. Haha, at least when you’ve got little ones. Yep, the season’s bug is going around and I’m gladly getting passed the end of it and I’m feeling thankful it’s a very minor one. For me it was just really annoying mostly because I don’t know what to do with myself when I’m sick. You know, like when you aren’t sick enough to want to lay in bed and do nothing, but still sick enough that you don’t want to do much of anything? Well, at least that’s how it goes…

Spiced Cranberry Apple Pie
How did it get this late in the year guys? I don’t know, but I’m guessing those of you celebrating a holiday tomorrow and probably even many of you that aren’t, are busy doing lots of baking now that the holiday season is in full swing. This year has been quite a whirlwind for me but I’m really enjoying that things seem to be settling down a little bit for the end of it. I don’t typically bake that many pies throughout the year but I think there’s some unspoken law that says when the holidays roll around at least one or two pies are mandatory. Oh, and also when planning the dessert…
