Chilean Guava Berry & Candied Lemon Tart (gluten free+vegan)
So how was your last week/weekend guys? Okay, so you’re probably wanting to know what in the world a Chilean guava berry is. Also know as “New Zealand cranberries”, they are a berry that is native to South America and they grow all through the Andes where I live. Here they are called “murta” and they taste like, well you’d kind of just have to try one, but some people say they taste like apples, pineapple, or pears and I’ve even heard some say that they taste like vanilla and cotton candy. Personally, I think they taste a little like a pine tree and strawberry had a baby, but they’re very unique to…

Chocolate Glazed Cream Filled Doughnuts
Do you have any idea how many puns can be made about doughnuts? There are at yeast more than you can overlook or glaze over. You probably doughnut even want to know! Ha, sorry but did I mention how for some reason my peeps have been in a punny mood recently? Especially Liv, I think she’s about to drive everyone crazy with the way she’s been cranking them out. On a side note, I really need to just confess to you guys that I was looking at my recent recipes the other day and I realized that there’s been a serious lack of healthy-er/ish recipes going on. If you could see my face…

Tahini Cashew Nutter Butter Sandwich Cookies
Please tell me you’re as nuts about nuts as I am because otherwise I just can’t see out relationship working out. Speaking of nuts, I feel like I’ve been going a tiny bit crazy and I’m trying to remember how I survived the last few winters without turning into an icicle. It’s only just starting to get cold and I feel as if my mind has totally dumped all instincts for self-preservation to stay warm and I can’t remember how to weather the cold. It’s pretty ridiculous too, because where I live now in Patagonia is so mild compared to where I lived in the mountains of northern Idaho for a few years…

Simple Strawberry Peach Galette
Anyone feeling in a Springtime mood today? So do you guys have plans for gifts and/or activities for the mothers in your life or is Mother’s Day not really on your radar? I know my mom and I know how she loves anything in the fruity pastry category so this was something I sort of made for her with Mother’s Day in mind. Of course, the family had no problem helping her finish it off though. I seriously think she ate about half of this thing over many days. Who doesn’t love a galette? What I love about galettes is that they look all fancy and labor intensive when in reality…

They are not only filled with the wonderful magic of spice and chocolate together, but I also made some homemade java chips which are basically a mocha version of chocolate chips and they are really simple.

Layered Fiesta Taco Bowls with Vegan “Bacon” Bits
I’ve got a question to ask, am I the only one who had never even heard of “bacon” made from plants until recently! Well if not, it’s totally a thing guys! Facon exists!!! At first I was averse to the whole idea and completely on team You can’t even go there! Even as a young kid I never liked bacon so I was pretty skeptical. That is, of course, until I tried the stuff. Omg peeps, it’s insane! So about these bowls, I know “bacon” may not be the most typical thing to add to your tacos, or in this case taco bowls, but I was surprised by how much it works. A few bites of these…

Churro Chips & Salted Hot Chocolate Sauce (Vegan)
I know I say this a lot so it’s probably losing its credibility…..but guys, these are Dangerous with a capital D! I decided that I needed to christen my new deep fryer (Tuck) with something delicious, but also simple so that I could keep it a no-fail situation for my first time using it. Plus, you may have noticed already, but I’m really getting into Cinco de Mayo as a theme to go with this year and churros with hot chocolate are just a well known classic Mexican food that I wanted to do something with. I feel liked I missed my Valentine’s Day opportunities for the most part and then I slacked big time…
