Cocoa+Oat Protein Waffles (Vegan+GF)
So I know there are a lot of things in life right now that can’t be fixed with simple answers but I feel like waffles are the answer to a lot of problems. As always I’m going to my happy place and drowning worries in delicious things like these waffles. Okay, not really but waffles are always a good decision.😍😋 Speaking of decisions, I recently made one of the best purchases of my entire life……..a miniature waffle maker!!! When I say mini, I’m talking like 4 inch waffles. Omg, they’re SOOOO cute!!!! Yeah, definitely the best buying decision ever. ;P I shared them on my socials a while ago but now I’m sharing…

Dark Chocolate Vegan Birthday Cake (GF)
I think it’s safe to say that chocolate cake is a major staple for special occasions, don’t you think? And if you’re going to make a chocolate cake you might as well go big or go home because a lightly chocolate cake just isn’t gonna cut it. You’ve gotta make it really dark, extra extra dark. Of course, that’s just my opinion and this is coming from someone who would happily eat 85-90% dark chocolate over milk chocolate. So my baby niece is going to be turning 1 soon and my sister and I have already been planning her party since she turned 1 month old. It’s going to be a…

Chocolate Oat Pancakes (V+GF)
Pancakes are something I really don’t make often enough. In my family there is a near even split of those who love waffles and those who prefer pancakes. Personally, I’m too indecisive to choose between them because I love both. Another thing I find funny is that it’s the boys in my fam who like waffles and the girls who like pancakes. I’d love to know if this trend is the same in your house. Maybe you can take a little poll and let me know. So I was in the mood to make some pancakes, but not just plain ones. Although, I wanted them simple and of course you can never go…

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 able to find…

Chocolate Spelt Waffles + Maple Nut Butter Syrup (Vegan)
Waffles should be an everyday thing, don’t you think? Tell me, are you a team pancake or a team waffles type of person. For the longest time I’d go back and forth thinking I was one or the other until I finally made my peace with my indecision and reached a point of realizing I’d never be able to choose. Besides, why can’t I choose both? I’m plenty satisfied being the Switzerland of the pancake/waffle world (which, by the way, is the kind of world I wanna live. You know what I’m sayin’?) Okay, sidenote here; Daylight Savings, guys, whaaas up????? I do this literally every time it rolls around, but it still…

Chocolate Tahini Smoothie
So It’s the weekend and I know we’ve all got life going on all around us so I’m keeping it short and sweet today. I’m just popping in to share this smoothie recipe that I made this past week because it’s one any smoothie lover is going to be thrilled with. That is, of course, unless you’re one of those fruity smoothie people who think chocolate should be strictly in desserts. You’re not, right??? This smoothie is simple, fast, and only a few ingredients. It’s also gluten free, dairy free, and vegan, and you can adapt it very easily too. For example, peanut butter is a great sub for the tahini and if…

Golden Vanilla Cake + Chocolate Buttercream Frosting (Vegan)
Firstly, someone drank my entire cup of coffee, like what???? Secondly, please do not ask me who’s birthday it is/was. Seriously, you’d think my family would have figured out by now that I sometimes get the random urge to make an unnecessarily large, lovely, and delicious cake for absolutely no good reason at all. Yes, well apparently they haven’t because I think I got asked why I was making this cake about two dozen times by various people the day that I was working on it. So I actually did have a good reason to make it though, I felt it was a huge gap missing from my recipe list. I realized the other day that…
