Raspberry Chocolate Chip Crunchy PB&J Bars (Vegan+GF)
Peanut Butter Jelly Time! Peanut Butter Jelly! Peanut Butter Jelly Time…… Are you guys as happy it’s the weekend as I am? At least tell me you’re ready for something super killer deliciously awesome because this one just couldn’t wait for a weekday. Definitely a weekend treat. I’m also excited that it’s Valentine’s Day this weekend because I’ve been loving the pink theme on my Instagram. It’s a bit of a cliché holiday, I know, but I like to have fun with it. So, going along with the theme I had the inspiration for these cookie bars with raspberry jelly and peanut butter and chocolate. PB&J is maybe not the most romantic of…

Homemade Vegan Potstickers
I was telling my friend that I was making potstickers this week and he was like, “what’s that?” How can someone not know what a potsticker is?? I don’t know but maybe I should have said “Asian dumpling”. Some people are so uncultured *rolling eyes*!!! JK, but seriously, I now feel responsible to make sure there are a few less people in this world who have never tried them. So I’m very aware that some people are going to be sitting shaking their heads at me when I start saying how good these are without non-plant-based ingredients. Maybe you are one of them, but hear me out. The flavors that give potstickers their…

Pumpkin Spice Granola (Vegan+GF)
Guys, guys, omg I’m just really excited Autumn is here! So this year hasn’t exactly given us much to look forward to but over my dead body is 2020 going to ruin the Holiday season for me. You feel me? Okay, this granola is probably my new favorite and that’s saying something because I make granola pretty often. Baking anything and everything with pumpkin and spices is always the quickest way to get into the Autumn mood. The only thing I’m slightly disappointed that I didn’t do with this recipe is add some pecans or walnuts. I just didn’t have any on hand because I’d already used them all. I mean, it’s…

Simple Cinnamon Crumb Cake (Vegan+GF)
Ok, so tell me if I’m the only one who thought this… …but I always thought coffee cake actually had coffee in it. I mean, maybe it should because that sounds delicious, but it’s also good as is with no coffee. Either way, can’t we just fix the confusion and just call it crumb cake or something? I think it’s just as good a title for this simple and classic treat. Another question; does this count as a breakfast food? Personally, I believe in a balanced approach to health and nutrition so def wouldn’t recommend having it as a regular breakfast. However, sometimes the weekends just need to start off with a little…

PB&J Granola Parfaits (Vegan+GF)
Tell me if you can relate to this. I love to cook for people and I love to make huge, elaborate meals for big groups and I’ll spend hours in the kitchen. When I’m cooking for just me though, I’m not even willing to get a bowl out of the cabinet to put food in sometimes. I’ll literally just eat random stuff out of a box or grab something that requires zero prep. My roomies make fun of me and say I eat like a savage sometimes and they’re not wrong. Haha, I think years of food blogging has ruined my civilized kitchen habits. But again, the moment I have someone to cook…

Fudgy Peanut Butter Protein Brownies (Vegan)
One of the absolute best questions to ask someone who eats plant-based/vegan is where they get their protein. I’m being a little sarcastic here but I also have some pretty smartass answers to this question that are pretty fun to deliver on the right occasion. My favorite; “I get my protein the same place your protein gets its protein and skip the middle-man.” Hey, for the most part I avoid being the stereotypical preachy vegan and I actually understand all the questions because I had them myself. I love to be inspiration to people to try something new or healthier but I don’t ever like to preach (unless asked, because…

Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan+GF)
So um, If I ever stop coming up with variations of a chocolate chip cookie you’ll know my body’s been inhabited by aliens or something. Hey, I can’t help it, there’re just so many ways you can recreate this classic treat. That, and I really just love taking photos of them. What can I say? They’re very aesthetic. Okay why would you do a deep dish cookie you might be wondering? Seriously though, is anyone actually wondering that? Hello melty pools of chocolate that can acceptably be eaten with a spoon, double the thick and chewy texture and gooey center, and then there’s always the option to throw some ice cream on top!…
