Chocolate Coconut Almond Joy Scones (Vegan)
You’ve probably all noticed that I like to take old classics and turn them into something new. I mean, how boring would it be to just write about plain jane chocolate cake or spaghetti and meatballs? Okay, actually I can think of a lot of things more boring than that and there is a time and place for traditional things, but usually it’s not here. Hopefully you haven’t noticed how much coconut has been happening around here lately, or at least, if you have I hope you are coco-nuts for coconuts (pardon the corny pun.) We just happened to get a bunch of fresh coconuts recently and it was kind of a one…

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 dread writing posts…

Homemade Peanut Butter Crunch Breakfast Cereal Puffs (Vegan+GF)
So I’m writing this from my new house and even though I’m not all moved in yet, we’re working on getting things set up. Today I wanted to do a throwback recipe from something my pregnant sister was craving back when we lived in Chile. One of her cravings was really random; peanut butter Cap’n Crunch. That’s pretty random, right? I knew there was no way we were going to be able to find anything remotely close down there unless I made it. It’s hard enough just to find peanut butter there. It was clear since we moved there that there is a general dislike of peanut butter in Chile’s culture so the…

Fluffy Whole Wheat Eggnog Pancakes with Homemade Eggnog
Get ready for some good news…..we’re having “eggnog” pancakes! Okay, so I had some leftover nog the other day this idea just came to me, “What better way to use them during the holidays than making some delicious pancakes? It’s all over now. I don’t know that we will ever be able to go back to regular pancakes. My family loved these so much that I wouldn’t be surprised if they blackmail me into making nog in June just so that I can make these. They were that good. I’ve already made them twice this week and you know that I don’t do that very often because I’m always trying something new. I…

Triple Chocolate Sour Cream Scones (Vegan)
I am posting one of my favorite new recipes. You seriously have to try it unless you are a scone hater. I mean, is it just me or are scones notorious for being dry and bland? The people who think that have obviously never had a good scone. My family loves scones but I usually just do basic. This time we needed a serious chocolate fix so went for triple chocolate and the results pretty much speak for themselves. These scones were a hit. We all agreed that they somehow taste exactly like chocolate pop-tarts, but better. Not sure how that happened but I am just gonna go with it. They’re like chocolate…
