Simple Strawberry Peach Galette
Anyone feeling in a Springtime mood today? So do you guys have plans for gifts and/or activities for the mothers in your life or is Mother’s Day not really on your radar? I know my mom and I know how she loves anything in the fruity pastry category so this was something I sort of made for her with Mother’s Day in mind. Of course, the family had no problem helping her finish it off though. I seriously think she ate about half of this thing over many days. Who doesn’t love a galette? What I love about galettes is that they look all fancy and labor intensive when in reality…

Berry Coconut Breakfast Smoothie Bowls (Vegan+GF)
Can I tell you a little bit about these bowls please? I’m just so excited ’cause I know your going to love them! Am I the only one who has noticed the smoothie bowl craze taking over the internet? Well whatever the case, it is and everyone is cranking out the most gorgeous and colorful creations of fruitiness so I couldn’t help but start to feel left out, right? To be completely honest, the first time I saw a smoothie bowl I thought it was a pretty lame idea and I didn’t see myself ever wanting to make one. I mean, smoothies are supposed to be what they claim, smooth, so that they can…

Chia Oat Banana Pancakes (Vegan & Gluten Free)
I have something healthy to share today guys!!! Let’s talk about banana pancakes. They’re a huge staple in the frequented recipe department, or at least they are in my house. Liv told me she was craving them a few days ago and after thinking about it I realized that, not only has it been way too long since I posted a pancakes recipe, but I’ve NEVER shared one for banana pancakes! How is that even possible? They are such a go-to when we’ve got too many ripe nanners and I’m feeling unimaginative or just needing some serious comfort food. What have been doing with my life? I mean, good grief, Jack Johnson even…

Maple Drizzled Pistachio & Avocado Bagel Toast (Vegan)
Here’s me following a trend just for the heck of it again. On a scale of one to ten how lame do you think that is? I mean, I don’t think of myself as being follower of the norm by any means, and way more often than not I stay as far from a fad as I can. However, I’ll admit that it’s a rarity, but sometimes a the bandwagon gang knows their stuff, and I’m pretty sure this is one of those times. Avocado toast people, it’s where it’s at! I think the craze started because avo makes a way healthier alternative to just about anything that would usually make an appearance on…

Pecan Streusel Sweet Potato Spice Muffins
I’m kind of freaking out again…. It’s just, I woke up and realized we’re about to start the last month of the year and I’m caught in the storm of emotions that I think is familiar to most of you. I’m really excited (you don’t even know) about the holiday festivities but also a little tiny bit sad that time is speeding by so fast. Maybe that sounds crazy, but hopefully you can understand. Anyway, it’s my nephew’s first Christmas. I think I already mentioned recently but that’s a huge part of why I really want this holiday season to be special for my sister (for my nephew too, but he won’t be…

Madam Pomfrey’s Pumpkin Juice Smoothie (Vegan+GF)
Okay guys, nerd alert again. Sorry, I just really wanted to slip in one more recipe themed after Harry Potter before October was gone. I also thought this would be a fun and sneaky way to get some nutrition into the kids in between all of the sugary stuff I’ve been cranking out for the blog. It’s so much easier to get them to try something if it’s from a movie or book that they love. What was awesome is that they loved this. I mean, I can always count on Brock to get excited over a smoothie but this one was even packed with some real life vegetables and he still downed…

Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Protein Bars (Vegan+GF)
I don’t know about you guys but I can’t stand it when I find out things I’ve loved and thought were healthy are actually full of ingredients you can’t pronounce. There used to be this one brand of protein bar that I loved when I was in my preteen years and I ate them all the time. Seriously, they were so good. I’m talking creamy peanut buttery filling coated in a thick layer of chocolate. My sister and I were having a flavor flashback the other day (don’t you love those?) to our fave childhood foods and she said that I had to come up with a copycat version of these bars. I…
