Crunchy Maple Cinnamon Pecan Cereal (Vegan+GF)
It’s another cereal recipe. What, what! You’re probably thinking, why would you make cereal when you can just go out and buy it? Well my friend I’m so glad you asked. I am so glad you asked. Okay, I don’t know about you, but I have this major love for cereals and granola. In fact, it’s very nearly an addiction. If it’s crispy, toasty, sweet and flavorful I’m hooked. Oh, and if you add a hint of salty to the equation I’m a goner. Do you think there’s a support group for this? CAD (cereal addicts anonymous) maybe? I’m telling you, it’s dangerous for me to have too much around. The funniest…

Simple Nuts & Seeds Muesli Cereal
I found a new favorite thing guys! Do I say that a lot? I think I say that a lot. You’ve probably at least heard me obsess about granola right? Well, muesli is basically the close cousin of granola but it’s just a little different. The first time I heard of museli I just didn’t get it. I know for sure I didn’t even know how to say it right and I couldn’t figure out the difference between it and granola. So whats really cool about muesli is that it’s even simpler to make than granola. Granola is actually really easy so that’s saying a lot. With muesli you can choose to…

Mint Chocolate Chip Muddy Buddies
Happy March you guys! I’ll do you guys a favor and skip talking about how it got here so fast, even though it did, and get right to the recipe today. I don’t know if I’m the only one, but I always seem to forget about any holidays in March because there aren’t any major ones. I honestly don’t consider St. Patrick’s Day much of a holiday, but who am I to pass up a chance to make some Irish recipes and minty chocolate treats? Now that, that I can do. So I’ve made a few versions of this stuff (btw, what do you call it? I’ve heard it “puppy chow”, “muddy buddies”,…

4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Chocolate Cereal Bars (Vegan)
Hey my favorite peeps, I hope you’re off to a fabulous first Friday of February! (Haha, well that’s quite a tongue-twister) Since the last time I mentioned the weather here it still has yet to snow more than flurries and the grass is almost completely visible everywhere. For it to be so early in the year, that’s pretty surprising. Just wait, I’ll probably be getting buried in a freak snowstorm first week of April. For some reason my inspiration has been much more on the savory side recently. I’m guessing it has to do with the fact that January is such a great month for healthier recipes. Good news though, now I’m…

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 some reason the…

Dried Fig, Millet, and Flaxseed Granola (Vegan+GF)
I’m sitting trying to decide what to write today, while staring out at the most magnificent of sunrises. The grass is covered with the frost of early winter and the sky is ruby red with hints of gold. I wish I could capture it on camera in a way that would do it justice. I remember my dad telling me recently about an old sailor’s rhyme that he learned in the Navy that goes ‘Red in the morning, sailor take warning. Red at night, sailors delight.’ ……and that I was skeptical until it started to rain heavily every time I’ve noticed a pink sunrise since he said it……. It’s days like this when…
