Double Chocolate Chunk Zucchini Bread (Vegan+GF)
I just came out of my internet procrastination daze and had one of those oh-crud-I’m supposed-to-be-doing-something moments. Yep, those are the best aren’t they? So, I know it’s only Monday, I hope you all had a killer weekend by the way, but I thought I’d start off the week with a little bit of chocolate. Okay fine, a lot of it. Mondays just need loads of chocolate sometimes, you feel me? Hey, there are vegetables in this bread too, so I think that makes it completely acceptable as breakfast. True story. Although, the honest to goodness truth is that this is an luscious cake disguised behind it’s green veggie and loaf shaped facade. You know…

Vegan Sweet Potato Ginger Carrot Soup & Cinnamon Toasties (Gluten Free)
This post is all about Vegan Sweet Potato Ginger Carrot Soup A Soup That is So Healthy It works so well, actually, that this soup is border line addictive, and you’ll probably feel guilty like you’re overindulging .

A Note on the Color of This Soup I just remembered that my soup was not as orange as it should have been because I used a white variety of sweet potato so all the orange is coming from the carrots in the pics. If you’re wanting…

Tex-Mex Twice Baked Potato Skins (Vegan+GF)
How do you feel about potato skins? I’ve always been a huge fan of making use of extras and scraps when I’m cooking. I mean, those things can really add up when you do a lot of cooking at home. Potato skins are one of the things that I hate throwing away when making recipes such as mashed potatoes, or baked potatoes. Personally, I’d just leave the skin on for the recipe but not everyone likes they’re mashed/baked potatoes that way so there’s usually some waste. That’s why I love the idea to make a whole separate recipe with them and I was feeling some Mexican vibes. I don’t know about you, but…

How to Make Naturally Pink Lemonade
When life gives lemons, make lemonade……….but make it colorful!!!! I can’t even tell you how much that phrase has become the story of my life. It’s a good thing I love lemons. So when I first started this here lil thang I like to call my blog, and had no clue what I was doing by the way, I made these lemon bars. Pink lemonade lemonies to be exact, and they were so good! I also made a whole pitcher of pink lemonade for the pictures and since then I’ve had a bunch of people ask me how to just make that naturally pink lemonade. The pictures of that post have been really…

Cocoa Peanut Mole Jackfruit & Cilantro Orange Rice (Vegan+GF)
Hey, great news is that the days have been consistently getting brighter, longer, and warmer. Yay, Spring is a commin! You are probably hoping I get to the food soon and not jabber all day so here it is. Mole is the topic I’m supposed to be typing about. Okay, and it’s pronounced (mo-lay) not (mol) like the underground mammals that destroy your lawn or the ugly growth on someones face that you try so unsuccessfully not to stare at. Mo-LAY, got it? Okay cool. So I don’t get credit for thinking up this one. Actually, this recipe is one of the things that my Mom used to make when I was growing…

Extra Thick Chocolate Chip Pancakes (“Freckled Fat Jacks”)
My computer has been freaking out on me all week. Or, as my brothers love to make fun of me for saying, it’s being a boofa head. I really don’t know what a boofa head is but it seems to always apply in these situations and I seem to be applying it a lot lately. Yep, my computer is having issues. It’s been SO slow no matter what I’m trying to load and it’s seriously driving me crazy. It’s more than just me being impatient too. Because it’s going at such a snail’s pace, it’s making everything take me twice as long as usual to get done and no me gusta! You know…

Watermelon, Pomegranate, & Mint Slushies (Vegan+GF)
I got a haircut a few days ago and it has taken me until now to decide that it’s too short. I’ve always hated when my hair is in between. You know, when it’s too short to be considered long but too long to be considered short. Medium hair is like the sad middle child in a family. The one that doesn’t automatically inherit the identity of being the oldest or the youngest. Basically, I’m feeling like my hair should just go home and rethink it’s life. Maybe I should do that too. Actually I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately and my head hits overload every once in a while. I…
