Toasted Pecan Gingerbread Figgy Puddings (Vegan)
I brought you some figgy pudding, I brought you some figgy pudding! Remember when I made rice pudding last week and said that I had another pudding recipe coming that was going to confuse people? Well, this is the one I was talking about. Please tell me I’m not the only one who grew up listening to that line in the lyrics of We Wish You a Merry Christmas and picturing a bowl of purple custard. Anyone? I kind of always felt that line “we won’t go until we get some.” was a little demanding and that figgy pudding must be really something to merit it. There’s no way I can vouch for…

Pecan Streusel Sweet Potato Spice Muffins
I’m kind of freaking out again…. It’s just, I woke up and realized we’re about to start the last month of the year and I’m caught in the storm of emotions that I think is familiar to most of you. I’m really excited (you don’t even know) about the holiday festivities but also a little tiny bit sad that time is speeding by so fast. Maybe that sounds crazy, but hopefully you can understand. Anyway, it’s my nephew’s first Christmas. I think I already mentioned recently but that’s a huge part of why I really want this holiday season to be special for my sister (for my nephew too, but he won’t be…

Double Chocolate Chunk Zucchini Bread (Vegan+GF)
I just came out of my internet procrastination daze and had one of those oh-crud-I’m supposed-to-be-doing-something moments. Yep, those are the best aren’t they? So, I know it’s only Monday, I hope you all had a killer weekend by the way, but I thought I’d start off the week with a little bit of chocolate. Okay fine, a lot of it. Mondays just need loads of chocolate sometimes, you feel me? Hey, there are vegetables in this bread too, so I think that makes it completely acceptable as breakfast. True story. Although, the honest to goodness truth is that this is an luscious cake disguised behind it’s green veggie and loaf shaped facade. You know…

Chocolate Chip Banoffee Cake with Caramel Buttercream (Vegan)
Happy Friday peoples! It’s weekend time and that means bring it! Bring on the tons of sugar, and the truckloads of chocolate, and the vats of caramel, and the mountains of frosting….. Oh, and if it could all be in the form of a cake that would be awesome! I’m kinda freaking out a little bit here. I so many things to plan for and so many things I want to make, but I feel like I’m almost more unorganized at this moment then I’ve ever been. I made it a new years resolution at the beginning of this year to get things together, but apparently I wasn’t very resolute about my resolution…

Twinkie Clone Doughnuts (Vegan)
I’m going to be completely honest and admit it took me a lot of tries before I found the perfect frosting consistency that I wanted. Okay, but to get to the point here, Twinkie clone doughnuts. I’m sorry, let me repeat myself, Twinkie clone DOUHGNUTS! Yes!!!!! I think I missed my opportune window for Twinkie recipes when everyone was freaking out about Hostess going out of business and saying things like “we’ll never be able to eat them again!” I heard about people making hundreds of dollars per box on ebay. Who would pay that? People can be so ridiculous, right? So, I can only recall eating like two or three Twinkie in my…

Black Sesame Cupcakes (Vegan)[Try the Gray Stuff It’s Delicious]
……don’t believe me, ask the dishes! They can sing, they can….okay somebody stop me before I sing the whole song. I don’t expect a lot of you guys to know this, but black sesame is sort of a fad right now. I’ve tried to keep my curiosity at bay for a while, but I finally had to try it and see what all of the hype was about because I just didn’t get it. I get it now, black sesame is the bomb you guys! I mean, you’d think it’s going to taste weird or gross, but then it doesn’t. It gives this depth of nutty-ishness (my new word of the day) that…

Extra Thick Chocolate Chip Pancakes (“Freckled Fat Jacks”)
My computer has been freaking out on me all week. Or, as my brothers love to make fun of me for saying, it’s being a boofa head. I really don’t know what a boofa head is but it seems to always apply in these situations and I seem to be applying it a lot lately. Yep, my computer is having issues. It’s been SO slow no matter what I’m trying to load and it’s seriously driving me crazy. It’s more than just me being impatient too. Because it’s going at such a snail’s pace, it’s making everything take me twice as long as usual to get done and no me gusta! You know…
