Brown Butter Caramel Snickers Cookie Bars (Vegan)
Hey, Hey, HEY! I’ve got something to help you guys get over the mid-week slump so obviously that means chocolate is involved! Oh, and guess what? We got new puppies last weekend! I want to share some pics later this week so I was going to wait to tell you, but I just couldn’t. They are absolutely adorables you guys! You may remember me mentioning a while back when we got our first two Great Pyrenees pups. No? Well, if not then now you know and I guess it has been a long time now. Whoa, actually now that I think about it it’s been a year and a half! Those two boys…

Chunky Dark Chocolate Coconut & Pistachio Brownies (Vegan+GF)
The pistachios are back! I feel like I’ve been repeating star ingredients a lot lately but pistachios are kind of new for me since we only recently found where we can buy them. Of course, they’re raw in shells so you have to crack them, and after going through the effort of shelling a bunch you feel like you should get the most out of your labor of love, you know what I mean? By the way, happy (almost) March you guys! Wow, is the year breezing by or what? I can’t believe it’s already almost time for the seasons to start changing again. Actually, our constant chilly rain the last few days is making me…

Holiday Cookie Week #2: Romance Cookie Bars (Pecan Pie Bars)
I actually enjoyed my Monday this week. Does that make me a total weirdo? It was mostly because I had a jam-packed weekend with back to back company on top of some blog planning and recipe testing so I was in the kitchen even more than usual. We’re talking sun up to sun down, and the days are at their longest here so that’s a long time. It’s not that there aren’t plenty of people around to help with things, there are, but you know what they say about too many cooks and soup. I need to get better at it, but I don’t always work cohesively with others #ControlFreak. Well, it’s that,…

Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Brownie Bars (Vegan)
Yup, you read that right, Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Brownie Bars. These are sandwich cookies, cheesecake bars, and brownies all wrapped into one. This post is all about Vegan Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Brownie Bars How is your life going? Good? Not so good? Well, I hope it’s the former but I’m pretty confidant that either way it’s about to get better. I know, in the past I’ve knocked Oreos and I still haven’t changed my mind about Trader Joe’s brand being better. I just can’t get over the memory of feeling like I was eating burnt cardboard with frosting in the center. Also, they aren’t exactly health food so I figure if…

Homemade Snickers Bars (Vegan+GF)
It’s so bad you guys, I made something so bad……. With it being October I know we’re all seeing the grocery aisles filling with extra candy and you moms are being forced to play the bad guy more than usual when you have to limit or deny the requests to buy it all every time they ask. Not only do you not want too much around for the kids to be tempted by, but admit it, when no one’s around you know you’ll remember that whole bag of fun-sized pieces and that one less won’t be detectable. Okay, so these homemade versions of a classic aren’t exactly going on anyone’s healthy food pyramid…

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…

Midnight Mocha Chocolate Chunk Brownies (Vegan)
You know what I’m thinking….? I’m thinking today needs some serious chocolate. Oh, OH, and, and coffee! Yes there definitely should be coffee because that’s, well that’s just necessary for today! So, so, um, I made you brownies, and not just any brownies, bBuzz! As far as I’m concerned these are the next best thing to pot brownies! Sorry, I’ve had a bit of caffeine today, I don’t know if you can tell. I feel like I should go around shouting “Each brownie is the equivalent of 12 cups of coffee, you can stay awake for days with no side effects, AHHHH!…sorry.” Anyone get that one? Yes, I’m guilty of being a Disney movie fan…
