Madam Pomfrey’s Pumpkin Juice Smoothie (Vegan+GF)
Okay guys, nerd alert again. Sorry, I just really wanted to slip in one more recipe themed after Harry Potter before October was gone. I also thought this would be a fun and sneaky way to get some nutrition into the kids in between all of the sugary stuff I’ve been cranking out for the blog. It’s so much easier to get them to try something if it’s from a movie or book that they love. What was awesome is that they loved this. I mean, I can always count on Brock to get excited over a smoothie but this one was even packed with some real life vegetables and he still downed…

Loaded Sweet Potato Chili Cheese Fries (Vegan+GF)
Okay, major confession time…… I’ve never made sweet potato fries before. Don’t judge, it’s just that most of the french fry lovers in my family claim to hate sweet potatoes so I’ve always felt it would be a pointless venture. But now there will be no going back. I’ve opened the door to homemade french frying and everyone knows that they can be done. Fact: there will be more fries happening, a lot of em, and very soon. I think that if regular potato fries went up against sweet potato fries in a competition to see which tastes better chili-cheesified, the latter would win hands down every time. Sorry regular tatos, we’ll still…

Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Protein Bars (Vegan+GF)
I don’t know about you guys but I can’t stand it when I find out things I’ve loved and thought were healthy are actually full of ingredients you can’t pronounce. There used to be this one brand of protein bar that I loved when I was in my preteen years and I ate them all the time. Seriously, they were so good. I’m talking creamy peanut buttery filling coated in a thick layer of chocolate. My sister and I were having a flavor flashback the other day (don’t you love those?) to our fave childhood foods and she said that I had to come up with a copycat version of these bars. I…

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…

Mozzarella Stuffed Pesto Pizza Monkey Bread (Vegan)
I’m not really sure why they call this type of bread a monkey bread. I suggested that maybe it’s because when everyone is picking at the delicious pieces it resembles the way primates groom each other and eat their findings. I was dumb enough to mention this while my brothers were around so, of course, they gave me their opinions and since my idea was already borderline gross they had to outdo it. One of them said that it’s because it looks like a giant monkey brain like on Indiana Jones and I won’t mention what the other one said. Thank you boys, that’s just the mental picture that will make everyone want…

Vegan Sourdough Hard Pretzels & Honey Mustard Dip
Snacktime just got a whole lot more delicious with this Vegan Sourdough Hard Pretzel Recipe. These are a fun and unique treat to make for the family. Bring these to a dinner party and be the star of the night. You know what I’ve decided is stupid? Well, there is actually a whole list of things that I could answer with here, but currently on my mind is the fact that it takes me like ten times as long to write something as it does to read it. No, like twenty times. Why does it take me so long and is it that way for everyone? This post is all about Vegan…
