Pumpkin Spice Granola (Vegan+GF)
Guys, guys, omg I’m just really excited Autumn is here! So this year hasn’t exactly given us much to look forward to but over my dead body is 2020 going to ruin the Holiday season for me. You feel me? Okay, this granola is probably my new favorite and that’s saying something because I make granola pretty often. Baking anything and everything with pumpkin and spices is always the quickest way to get into the Autumn mood. The only thing I’m slightly disappointed that I didn’t do with this recipe is add some pecans or walnuts. I just didn’t have any on hand because I’d already used them all. I mean, it’s…

No-Bake Vanilla Cashew Cheesecakes (Vegan+GF)
When life gives you Summer strawberries in abundance……..you make vanilla cheesecake to contrast their gorgeous color and highlight their sweet tart flavor! Seriously though, strawberries are a steal right now. We have too many so I’ve been trying to come up with more ways to eat them and use them in new recipes. Quite a happy task for someone who loves berries as much as I do. I just love that they can go well with so many things, savory and sweet. Anyway, this recipe isn’t even about strawberries necessarily, it’s about these delicious cashew vanilla cheesecakes. So to be honest, I’ve had a lot of challenges finding a vegan cheesecake recipe that…

Sweet Rainier Cherry Pie (Vegan)
Who wants some pie? Just in case you missed what I just said, we’re making cherry pie! Okay, so here’s the deal, I made this pie the other day because I couldn’t help myself. The weather finally feels like summer and I couldn’t resist the temptation to use some of the huge amounts of fruit that are in season right now. I seem to be obsessed with fruit lately. The Summer season brings a lot of people to the town where I live so the air just has an extra layer of excitement and celebration. It’s just kinda fun living in a sought after tourist destination. Of course, then I’m trying to drive…

Berry Orange Blended Oats (Vegan+GF)
I love it when I discover some new food idea that I’ve never heard of before. It’s especially great when it’s easy and/or healthy and I have all the ingredients to try it. This is one of those times. Okay, have you ever heard of blended oats? I came across the idea on pinterest recently and it was one of those mind-blown moments. I don’t know why I’ve never thought of it before. It’s not complicated at all. The texture is like a slightly grainy yogurt and the flavor is super versatile. For this recipe I added fresh berries and whole oranges but you could honestly use any type of fruit. Actually,…

Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan+GF)
So um, If I ever stop coming up with variations of a chocolate chip cookie you’ll know my body’s been inhabited by aliens or something. Hey, I can’t help it, there’re just so many ways you can recreate this classic treat. That, and I really just love taking photos of them. What can I say? They’re very aesthetic. Okay why would you do a deep dish cookie you might be wondering? Seriously though, is anyone actually wondering that? Hello melty pools of chocolate that can acceptably be eaten with a spoon, double the thick and chewy texture and gooey center, and then there’s always the option to throw some ice cream on top!…

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 you you’ll stick…

Easy Pumpkin Vegetable Curry (Vegan+GF)
Time for a cozy veggie curry, sound good? So one of my favorite questions that I get asked since going plant-based is if my family is also plant-based. Lol, now that’s a funny joke. (JK, I lied. My favorite question will forever be “where do you get your protein” ;P ) In case you missed the sarcasm, no they’re not at ALL plant-based. In fact, I get a lot of crap from each of them on a regular basis. I mean, it’s all good fun but they definitely like to tease me and you know what, I have no problem teasing right back. Besides, the way I see it -> more for me.…
