Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Candy Bars (Vegan+GF)
One of my favorite quotes, and the most applicable to my life, is “Necessity is the mother of invention” – Plato I’ve lived in some pretty remote areas where ingredients weren’t available like they are in a city or large town like I live in now. In other words, I had to come up with substitute ingredients for almost everything I wanted to make. While it wasn’t always fun or easy, it definitely expanded my thinking and led me to come up with some great ideas. One of the better ones being these bars. I remembered them recently while talking with family. That’s when I realized that they had to…

Dalgona Coffee + Oat Milk (Vegan+GF)
I don’t know about you but I like to stick to the four basic food groups; berries, carbs, chocolate, and COFFEE! Okay fine, so I got FOMO over this and had to try it since it’s literally everywhere on the internet write now. Especially on tiktok where it’s known as “whipped coffee” or “fluffy coffee”. What can I say, I wanted in on this particular fad. Plus….it’s coffee so there’s really no downside here. For once I can say the internet has chosen a worthwhile craze to obsess over. It’s also extremely photogenic for a drink so bonus points. Writing a recipe for it is kind of a joke since…

Black Rice Ramen with Miso & Tofu (Vegan+GF)
Ramen, it’s comfort food beloved worldwide by college students, struggling creatives, and everyone who hates cooking. It’s quick, easy, salty, and so comforting, but I think we can all agree it’s not exactly the healthiest option. In a time like this though, when the world is a little bizarre, ramen is probably acting as a staple for more than a few. Besides, today we’re talking about a pretty healthy upgrade from your standard nineteen cent bowl of noodle soup. I’m always surprised to realize how few people enjoy cooking in today’s day and age. It’s probably because I enjoy it so much that I can’t understand others not wanting to…

Creamy Cashew Wild Rice with Mushrooms (Vegan+GF)
Anyone else needing some serious comfort food about now? Good, me too. I’ve been pretty surprised at my taste mood recently. I would have thought that being stuck inside so much with so much time would have me craving sweet things, but I’ve been in such a savory mood. I must say the internet jokes and memes about all the quarantine snacking are cracking up but for once they’re not that relatable to me. If anything, I’ve been less into food from being home so much. I guess it’s different for everyone but I’m probably playing with food more than eating it, haha. But anyways, this recipe was something I…

Roasted Pablano Hummus (Vegan+GF)
Wow, who would have imagined we’d be in April 2020 with current conditions being what they are? Hey, but we can still have snacks so I’m making hummus and all kinds of other things so I don’t go insane. One of the most downright annoying things as a recipe creator is when the final result of a recipe looks nothing like the title. I mean, when you think of pablanos you picture that rich, dark green color right? Yeah, well when blended into a hummus the color stays basically the same as any other hummus. Now the flavor of the roasted peppers is a whole different story. With the flavor…

Easy White Bean Herb & Vegetable Soup (Vegan+GF)
It’s been a very grey week so far and I’m feeling like a warm comforting soup is in order today. Well, if the recent state of grocery shelves are any indication, there are a lot of people with a lot of beans right now. Hey, I’m not complaining about it, I think it’s pretty awesome actually. Beans are an extremely healthy staple food that seem to get ignored under most circumstances. Let’s just count it as one of the positive side-effects from this crazy time, beans finally getting the appreciation they deserve. Another positive side-effect is that way more people are in their kitchens cooking instead of eating out all…
