Cherry Berry Nice Cream Sundaes (Vegan+GF)
Is there such a thing as too much ice cream? Also, does anyone else just want to shake the hand of the person who discovered that blending frozen bananas creates this miraculous, creamy consistency? I know I do. Seriously guys, nice cream is life. There’s a cherry tree in our backyard that has the prettiest flowers when it blooms. This year it has matured enough to yield some pretty sweet cherries so we did our best to pick them all. What really surprised me though, was how quickly they came and went. I walked out back a few days ago and they were literally gone already. I was only…

Strawberries+Cream Fudge Brownie Trifle (Vegan)
Happy weekend my peeps, and it couldn’t have come at a better time I think. Any fun plans? My schedule will probably involve lots of packing and planning for San Diego. It wasn’t part of the original trip plans but it looks like I’ll be in Cali for Valentine’s Day this year. Ironically I was in London for this past Halloween so maybe I’m starting a bit of a self-trend to be abroad during holidays. Hey, that’s totally fine with me for any holiday with the possible exception of Christmas (because you guys know I’m a Christmas freak and I couldn’t imagine not being home for the holidays) I’ll…

Quick & Easy Go-to Snacks I Love (Vegan)
What I wanna know is who needs some weekend snack-spiration my friends? Because, I’m bringing it today! If you caught my last post you’ll know I’ve been moving this week. Guys, moving can be really stressful (and I should know since I’ve done it about a zillion times over the past few years), and sometimes you need faster options for food. It’s not just moving that get’s hectic though, I mean life can be crazy for so many reasons. Anything from school season, traveling, busy workweeks, or just everyday life, can have you needing a quick bite and making poor choices. I’m showing you a few ideas today to keep…

Strawberry (Ridiculously) Tall Mini Cakes (Vegan)
I’m taking a little break from my seasonal reality and dreaming of Spring flowers and Summer picnics today. It’s getting so close to the first day of being technically Winter here and that means a ton of rain. I’m not gonna lie though, complain as I might about the fact that we don’t get snow here, I’m feeling pretty grateful right about now for the more mild temperatures of living where we do and its relation to sea level. Yeah, like I just pointed out, it’s not even winter yet and I’m already getting ready for it to get warm again. I have to tell you, summers in Patagonia are the…

Blueberry Filled Mini Pavlovas (Meringue Nests)
……and they’re just in time for Easter, are they not? This lovely little treat has been on the list of things that I want to try for way too long because, every time I’ve wanted to actually make it, I keep getting caught in the indecision of whether to make a huge one or to make it in minis. As you can see I finally stopped messing around and just did it, decided on the minis. I could have left it at calling these ‘meringues’ but the truth is that I kind of just wanted to say Pavlova. Try it, it’s so much fun to say; Pavlova, Pavlova, Pavlova! Of course…

Blackberry Oatmeal Skillet Cobbler (Vegan+GF)
I know I’m being ridiculously impatient for spring here but I can’t help it. I’m sick of the constant rain and drab gray lighting. Those teaser warm days we had recently, it’s all their fault. They totally messed up my resolve to get through the rest of winter without complaint. What can I say, I tried, but I really want it to warm up now. My view of cold weather is that it’s only worth it if you get to have mountains of pillowy soft snow everywhere. Unfortunately for me, the fluffy white stuff is only on our mountain’s tops, well they’re volcanoes technically but whatev. No snow will be coming to brighten…

Simple Fresh Strawberry Turnovers (Vegan)
Simple. Fresh. Easy. These words are what I’m feeling today should be. I’m going to keep things short, sweet, and simple. I spend way too much time these days feeling rushed and crammed trying to get everything done. I started this blog as a creative outlet and something to fill up my extra time. Oh boy, does it fill up the time, but the point is that it is supposed to be fun. Being in the kitchen and creating delicious, sometimes crazy, always messy foods for the people I love is something that makes me happy and I love to share that with you guys. But recently I’ve been starting to…
