Healthy Pumpkin Pie Spiced Hummus with Cinnamon Graham Crackers (Vegan)
So it’s finally starting to feel consistently like Fall which officially means it’s time for #pumpkinspiceeverything. If you think I’m exaggerating, just wait until the end of October. Haha, my brother-in-law has been loving to make fun of me, my sister, and any other American girl that enjoys pumpkin. As he says we’re “basic white girls” and apparently that applies to all my fellow Autumn fanatics. Hey, I’m not ashamed to own it because I do love it! I mean, have you seen all the pumpkin flavored things at the store????? How can that not be fun and exciting? I’m hoping to take my little sister and my nephew to visit a pumpkin…

Harvest Time Apple & Pumpkin Chili (Vegan+GF)
Please tell me you’re week needs some delicious comfort right about now because, if so, this is exactly what you need! How do you feel about chili? To me it always seems like chili is one of those meals that doesn’t get appreciated enough. I don’t get it, it’s so homey and chock full of flavors, oh, and you can load it with so many good things like guacamole and eat it with cornbread, YUM!. Plus, it’s versatile and you can do so many things with it (Hello chili-cheese fries!), what’s not to love? I have to tell you, even within my own family chili isn’t the most popular. I mean, everyone will…

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…

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 in…

Chai Spiced Vanilla Oatmeal (Vegan+GF)
Hey again, my awesome friends! Today is a great day for a cozy bowl of oats, am I right? Well I just so happen to have a recipe to share and it’s so easy it’s almost embarrassing. Life being back in the States after 4 years away has been so many things, but busy is definitely one of them. I’ve been working on some new projects, planning for a trip, acquiring the things I need for that trip, getting excited about the holidays, and loving my gym time. It’s strange how even though the little daily routine things that used to seem so mundane now seem fresh and exciting since they’re still new…

Pumpkin Spice Latte Baked Oatmeal
Hello again, my lovely friends! Wow, October is flashing by and I’ve yet to make enough pumpkin recipes to meet what I’d consider to be a bare minimum as a food blogger. My brother-in-law is so humored by the fact that everything turns pumpkin in September that he took pictures of all the pumpkin products he found on his last grocery shopping trip with my sister. He found SO many too so it’s been a family joke recently how many things marketers convert to pumpkin. Hey, I’m loving it with no complaints. (By the way, has anyone found seasonal flavors of peanut butter around North Idaho????) I guess it’s not that awesome if…
