Spiced Sweet Potato Bread + Brown Sugar Icing (Vegan)
The decade is almost over guys! I know everyone’s posting retrospective photos, talking about goals for the next decade, and basically just wondering how it passed so quickly. Me? I’m honestly not too concerned about it. I mean, it’s exciting to be starting a new global chapter for sure. I guess I’m just not so into focusing on new year’s (or in this case new decade’s) resolutions as if that’s the only time to make big life decisions. I sort of prefer to make them on a daily basis. Besides, I’ve never been the greatest at sticking to arbitrary resolutions set out of obligation. I think if something matters to…

3-Ingredient Raw Date Caramel Sauce (Vegan+GF)
Sometimes there are things in nature that just blow my mind when I think about them. One of those things is the humble little date. I remember thinking they were so gross looking as a kid. I thought they looked like cockroaches to be honest. Now that I’ve gotten older I’m becoming more and more obsessed with them. I mean, they’re like caramel that grows on trees, it’s crazy. So this idea of a simple caramel sauce might be a something you’ve heard of many times but to me it was a pretty new thing the first time I heard about it. I love how many things you can use…

Triple Layer Caramel Crack Brownie Bars (Vegan)
It’s been too long since the last time I created a new outrageously layered cookie bar, don’t you think? Well, recently with all the holidays upon us I’ve been baking a lot for my family and it’s always fun to throw something new into the mix along with all the seasonal favorites. That’s why it’s pretty dangerous to leave any unwanted candy or baking ingredients around me for long, because they will inevitably end up in a dessert. It’s been almost a month since Halloween but there’s always those stray candies left that didn’t get eaten by the hungry kiddos, or is that just in my house? Well, for…

Iced White Chocolate Caramel Macchiato (Vegan+GF)
Am I the only one feeling like today is just one of those days where you want to say, “TGIF and where’s the coffee???” Yeah, coffee is a good thing and I refuse to back down on this position. Even if I do have a tendency to drink too much sometimes, which is something I’ve told you is not a very good idea for me. But you know, YOLO, and….well….coffee. Enough said. So this is a great recipe for hot weather months but it’s still every bit as delicious during the colder ones. It’s actually a great thing to brighten up a dreary morning or have as an afternoon pick-me-up…

Layered Cinnamon Caramel Apple Upside Down Cake (Vegan)
Happy weekend again! I’ve broken into some more really festive flavors today and I’m so excited to share this recipe with you. If anything says “Hello Autumn!” better than apples, caramel, and cinnamon all together in one amazing package then I’d love to know what it is because I can’t imagine. I’ve had a lot going on this last week, actually it’s been more like this whole last month. I’ve been telling you guys some of the stuff going on in my behind-the-scenes life so I don’t want to repeat, but have I mentioned how this is the time of year that our little lakeside town in Patagonia starts to…

Meringue Frosted Butterbeer Baked Doughnuts (Vegan)
Hey, hey, hey you guys! I’ve got another nerdy one for you today! I’m pretty excited to share this one, not gonna lie. Okay, first things first; This recipe! Before I say anything I’m giving you full warning that I’m kinda, sorta…..a really big Harry Potter nerd! (Deal with it.) Hey, I can’t help that one of the situational hazards of being born in the 90’s was the HP craze, (It’s the fandom that chooses the fan. It’s not always clear why.) Did I take that too far? Feel free to throw your head back and roll your eyes at me here. Anyway, these are so much fun to make and they’re…

Caramelized Peach Upside Down Skillet Cake (Vegan)
This is a first for me. I’ve been thinking about it and I realized that up until this cake, I can’t say that I’ve ever made an upside down cake before. I know, how in the world is that even possible!!! Before I start listing all the reasons that you need to make this, have I told you guys how terrible I am at making decisions? Okay, yeah, I know I have. I should probably warn you that I might be about to rant about this just a little bit. For reals though, I’m horrible at decisions, especially where pictures are concerned. You’d think after taking, editing, and sharing about…
