Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough Protein Bars (Vegan+GF)
You guys are probably thinking I’m obsessed with cookie dough at this point but……….wait, who are we kidding, I totally am! Yes, give me a planet where berries are abundant, the rivers are chocolate, and cookie dough grows on trees and I’d be all set. Anybody wanna move there with me? Oh, wait I forgot peanut butter! Yes, peanut butter’s gotta be included in there somewhere. So, it’s getting very close to marking a year since I came back to the States from Chile and it’s really hard to believe. This year has been so full of good, a little bad, and mostly unexpected things. One of the things I’ve been asked so…

Fluffy Lemon Pancakes + Sweet Cashew Butter
So I was thinking, it’s been a while since the last time I shared a pancake recipe, hasn’t it? Honestly, it’s a little hard to keep track sometimes when I share so many recipes, but I can’t imagine it ever being a bad time for them, so I think pancakes are on the menu today! Some of my family like the thinner pancakes but most of them like the thickest fluffiest kind and I personally think those are the best texture. The hint of lemon is just the thing to make these some seriously memorable pancakes and then, of course, I had to make some sweet cashew butter for good measure to put…

The Best Vegan Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies
I think it’s safe to say I’ve baked a few cookies in my lifetime……. In fact, I feel like I’ve tried just about every flavor of cookie out there. Okay, maybe not quite, but there’s been a lot. All those cookies and yet I still can hardly imagine a more perfect cookie creation than a perfectly chewy, soft, sweet, chocolate chip cookie. These are definitely the most requested treat in my house and I don’t see the demand going down anytime soon. The tricky part in making the perfect batch of these classic treats, is finding that sweet spot between too cakey and too lacey. Then there’s the ratio of chocolate to dough…

Chocolate Hazelnut Granola Orange Yogurt Bowl
If only I had a dime for every yogurt bowl I’ve ever had…….. I’m always excited to share a new recipe, but when it’s one this close to my heart I have a special excitement. Before I get to that though, quick question; how do you feel about shopping? Malls and department stores really aren’t a place I frequent. I’m being completely honest when I say that shopping has never been my thing. Like, I’m not the type of girl to spend tons of money on new clothes, shoes, or anything else that I don’t really need and there are certain stores I even dread having to go into. Actually, when I do…

Coconut Vanilla Fluffy Bunny Ears Cupcakes (Vegan)
Somehow it’s approaching the end of another month again. How did that happen? Wow, is it just me or is 2018 passing lightning fast? It’s already almost the first of April you guys and coincidentally that’s also Easter Sunday this year. I’ve already ranted about my confusion over Easter’s jumping date on the calendar every year so I won’t go into that, but I am curious, are you getting sunny weather yet? I’ve heard some of my blogger friends over in Colorado and even Montana are still getting snow up in the mountains. Spring seems to be taking it’s sweet time getting here this year, at least for this area. Since it’s almost…

30-Minute Thai Basil Asian Stir-Fry
Do you ever look forward to something for so long that you can hardly believe it’s actually arrived? That’s how I feel about Spring this year. I’ve been dreaming about all the things I want to make, do, and see this season, that it seems unbelievable that it’s arrived. Of course, it would probably seem more like Spring if we weren’t still having really cold weather, but that’s okay, the warm weather will get here soon enough and I’ll be ready for it, sunglasses and t-shirts in hand. I’m sort of thinking this needs to be the year of exploring. I’m 22 now (omg, I’m getting so old guys!) and while I love…

Hummus & Veggies Mediterranean Mezze Board
I’m so glad to be feeling more myself after being sick all weekend. Can we all agree on the fact that being sick just sucks on every level? Especially when you’re older because then you don’t even get to miss school as a bonus. You just get to lay around feeling guilty that you’re not doing all the things you need to. Then on top of that, I work from home, so it’s hard to not feel extra guilty when you’re work is right there. I’m not saying that there aren’t huge benefits to working from home, but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. This flu virus though, or whatever it was,…
