Easy Vanilla Marshmallow Milkshakes
You know you’re a grown-up, responsible, mature adult when…….you purposefully dump miniature marshmallows everywhere to take a photo and no one questions your sanity. I’ve learned a few things this week, and one of them is that you’re not in the right line of work if you can’t enjoy what you do. Okay, I’d be the first one to defend the fact that food-blogging is way freaking harder than it might sound. Contrary to what some may think, it’s a full-time, multi-faceted, difficult job (with a lot of dishes), plus working from home presents its own challenges. Okay, but it’s also a lot of fun sometimes. So do you remember me mentioning…

Pistachio+Kale Pesto Pita Pizzas (Vegan)
The basil strikes again! I know, I know, it’s been showing up in recipes a lot. It’s just my little plant is still sitting there in my kitchen saying “I’m beautiful, and fresh, and delicious, use me!” and I can’t resist. Clearly I need to start an herb garden so I get some flavor variety going on. Actually, as soon as the weather starts to warm a bit I’m doing it. We’ve got this little patio/porch area outside the back door that’s completely closed in and very bright so I’m probably going to takeover the area and make it my little greenhouse this Spring. It’s alright though because my fam is always willing…

Triple Chocolate Chip Cake Ball Truffles
Happy weekend! Who needs some serious amounts of chocolate after this week? ??? So I remember when I was younger how much we used to make fun of everyone in the retail business and how they couldn’t seem to wait 5 minutes after one holiday before clearing the shelves of that merchandise and filling it with the paraphernalia for the next one. It was especially funny to us when the holiday happened to be one that doesn’t come with much celebrating for the general population or we didn’t know anything about the reason for it. St. Patrick’s Day, for example, was always hilarious because we didn’t know anyone of anyone who celebrated it…

Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan + GF)
I realized a few days ago that I just couldn’t let January end without sharing a healthy cookie recipe. Firstly, can I just say that all I wanna do sometimes is take pictures of chocolate chip cookies all day! Okay, if you’re thinking what I think you’re thinking, something along the lines of “how can you have anything close to a chocolate chip cookie if you cut out the butter, eggs, and wheat flour????”, well you’re not alone. To be honest, I was thinking the same exact thing until batch no. 4729474 of these cookies came out of the oven (okay not really, more like batch no. 8) Anyway, for my family it’s pretty…

Sweet Potato Black Bean Street Tacos (Vegan)
It’s Taco Tuesday peeps! The cool thing is that this recipe could also double as a meatless Monday meal too! Yeah, I think it’s about time for another taco recipe around here. Considering how big on tacos my family is it’s pretty crazy that I haven’t made them very often recently. I’m planning to make up for it by doing tacos at least once every other week and hopefully even sharing a new version with you guys each time. So technically I might have made these on a Thursday, photographed them on a Friday, and written this post on a Sunday but you guys are getting them on Tuesday so that’s what…

Vegan Cappuccino Cake + White Chocolate Espresso Frosting
This vegan cappuccino cake with vegan white chocolate espresso frosting is a serious showstopper. It’s so full of flavor and sure to please everyone on your guest list! So I was looking through my recipe notebook/idea book yesterday for where I’d written down this recipe. This is the book that ends up with all the random inspirations I have, notes, reminders, and of course recipes. As I was scrolling through it though, it occurred to me that to anyone else looking through the pages, it would look like complete gibberish and most likely have whoever was looking at it questioning my mental stability. This post is all about Vegan Cappuccino Cake with White…

Spicy Thai Vegetable Tahini Stir-Fry Ramen (Vegan+GF)
And just like that we all wake up to December. Happy fri-yay and happy December my friends! It’s funny, you’d think the reality of time moving on would eventually set in after a while……..but somehow it’s always surprising to me. You know what I mean? Well anyway, I realized there’s been a lot of sweet stuff around here recently and I thought it was about time I shared something on the savory side with you guys, you know, cuz balance and stuff. Although, if life worked the way I wanted it to this time of year then we’d be able to thrive on Christmas cookies and chocolate treats all month. Of course, then…
