Vegan Almond & Condensed Coconut Milk Blondies (GF)
These Almond & Condensed Coconut Milk Blondies are a decadent vegan and gluten free treat. They’re delightfully soft, rich, and perfect for holidays or parties! This post is all about vegan condensed coconut milk blondies These bars were something I created ages ago in an attempt to compete with all chocolate focused desserts. These are for the vanilla lovers and they’re such a hit. I made them with gluten free flour just because I enjoy trying things with alternatives and seeing how well they work. The filling takes a quick extra step to cook it until it’s thick, but it’s so worth it. Other than that, these are extremely simple to make and…

Smoky Portobello Veggie Burgers (Vegan+GF)
It’s long past time for some burgers. I’m writing this post from Montana where I’m camping with my sis. I say “camping” because we’re staying in a dry cabin but to me that’s pretty close to camping. We had to bring basically everything we needed aside from a shelter. That means bedding, towels, etc. We’re going to be hiking to some waterfalls tomorrow and maybe rafting down the river. I’m so excited to share it all but for now I’m sharing a recent recipe while I continue gathering good content from this trip. So did you know you could turn a plain old mushroom into something nearly unrecognizable? And before anyone starts…

Chocolate Oat Pancakes (V+GF)
Pancakes are something I really don’t make often enough. In my family there is a near even split of those who love waffles and those who prefer pancakes. Personally, I’m too indecisive to choose between them because I love both. Another thing I find funny is that it’s the boys in my fam who like waffles and the girls who like pancakes. I’d love to know if this trend is the same in your house. Maybe you can take a little poll and let me know. So I was in the mood to make some pancakes, but not just plain ones. Although, I wanted them simple and of course you can never go…

Fudgy Sweet Potato “Nutella” Brownies (V+GF)
Is there a more perfect treat than brownies? I don’t think so. Of course, I’m super indecisive so if I had to choose between brownies and, say, chocolate chip cookies or ice cream, I’d probably fail. So I made homemade nutella recently and omg, yum! When you’re a recipe creator though, sometimes you end up with a lot of extras from testing and that’s what happened here. In these cases my philosophy is always to make lemonade out of lemons. Also, I’m contemplating how I have ever lived without a blender. I mean, obviously brownies aren’t the most essential thing to life (Haha, depending on who you ask 😉 ). It’s just, I think…

25-Minute Thai Peanut Soba Noodle Salad (Vegan)
I’m such a fan of Asian flavors you guys. If I didn’t try to keep things interesting here I’d probably just end up sharing stir-fry recipes and sushi every single day. As it is, I think I share quite a few recipes with those flavors. This recipe is one that you might be familiar. Or, maybe it’s something you’ve never heard of and it sounds super intriguing to you. I know I did when I first heard of something like this. First of all, can we just take a second to acknowledge the double standards within cultures when it comes to food. For example, who decided that pancakes and waffles are for breakfast?…

Energizing Ginger Berry Maca Smoothie (Vegan+GF)
It’s been a minute since I’ve shared a smoothie recipe. I guess it’s because they are such a common thing in my house that I think of them as sort of mundane. While I don’t have a smoothie every single day, I do usually end up making one everyday for others in my family. Of course, those are usually very basic with mostly fruits. This one however, is more my style of smoothie when I am in the mood. Now I don’t know if you’ve heard of this little health hack before but you have to try it. It’s cauliflower, and hold on just a second before you bale. Believe me, I…

BBQ Jackfruit Tacos + Kale Corn Slaw (Vegan+GF)
Do I really need a reason for making tacos? Yeah, I didn’t think so. I’m thinking back to when I first heard of jackfruit and simultaneously heard of it being used as sort of replacement for pulled barbecue. I was so confused about what it even was and if it could taste anything like a barbecue sandwich. It is indeed a fruit but when it’s made like this guys, it’s so convincing as meat. I even got my brother to think it was basic bbq. Recently my focus in the kitchen has really shifted to making things simple, fast, and approachable. I know there are a few places to purchase jackfruit but…
