Fluffy Whole Wheat Eggnog Pancakes with Homemade Eggnog
Get ready for some good news…..we’re having “eggnog” pancakes! Okay, so I had some leftover nog the other day this idea just came to me, “What better way to use them during the holidays than making some delicious pancakes? It’s all over now. I don’t know that we will ever be able to go back to regular pancakes. My family loved these so much that I wouldn’t be surprised if they blackmail me into making nog in June just so that I can make these. They were that good. I’ve already made them twice this week and you know that I don’t do that very often because I’m always trying something new. I…

Perfect Crinkle Snickerdoodle Cookies (Vegan)
I can’t really imagine what the holidays would be like without baking at least one batch of cookies. There are so many possibilities too. I mean, you’ve got the classic, and basically synonymous with Christmas, gingerbread men. Then there are your basic sugar cookies or shortbread. In my family chocolate chip cookies usually make their way into every holiday treat line-up. Oh, and we almost always make these little snowball cookies that I think everyone is familiar with. With all the variety, it’s not surprising that there are some cookies that aren’t as commonly made in some homes and for us that was always snickerdoodles. In fact, I hardly remember my family ever making…

Easy Mini Chocolate Chip Cookie Crumble Trifles (Vegan)
Hey guys! Guess what? Today is National Chocolate Pudding Day! So my family is somewhat obsessed with chocolate chip cookies. I think they would be completely happy if I made them everyday but how boring would that be? It’s pretty hilarious because I am always wanting to try some new flavor or recipe and everyone just wants to eat chocolate chip cookies. This is where we have a problem. I mean, I think chocolate chip cookies are great and I’m sure you do too but I can’t exactly post the recipe everyday and I just don’t have the time to make a bunch of different recipes everyday either. Trying to make everyone happy…

Individual Indian Tikka Masala Pizzas with Whole Wheat Crust (Vegan)
Friday is finally here again, Yay! I think this calls for some pizza. How do you guys feel about Indian food? I love authentic flavors of different parts of the world. Indian food is one of my favorites. Unfortunately I usually have to make single serving Indian stuff if I want to eat it because most of my family won’t even get near it. I’m not gonna lie, I only got a few of them to even try this and out of those that did not everyone liked it. So fair warning, this is only a recipe for those of us with adventurous taste buds. I think it is delicious. If you like tikka…

Easy Black Bean and Lentil Chili (Vegan+GF)
Did someone say they were feeling chilly? or was that chili? I couldn’t tell cuz, honestly I’m feeling both! In recent years, my family has become huge fans of Chili. My parents and older siblings have always liked chili, but my younger siblings have not liked it up until recently. So as result, I did not make it that often. But now, it’s a household favorite so I am always trying to put a little spin or tweak to it here and there. I love adding lentils to chili because they hide really well. We also like to serve it with cornbread. I have shared a few versions of cornbread but THIS ONE is…

Triple Chocolate Sour Cream Scones (Vegan)
I am posting one of my favorite new recipes. You seriously have to try it unless you are a scone hater. I mean, is it just me or are scones notorious for being dry and bland? The people who think that have obviously never had a good scone. My family loves scones but I usually just do basic. This time we needed a serious chocolate fix so went for triple chocolate and the results pretty much speak for themselves. These scones were a hit. We all agreed that they somehow taste exactly like chocolate pop-tarts, but better. Not sure how that happened but I am just gonna go with it. They’re like chocolate…
