Indian Red Coconut Curry + Homemade Pitas (Vegan)
Who’s in the mood for some Indian food? Because it’s really something you have to love and be in the mood for, although this recipe might be an exception. I’m pretty sure I’d eat this everyday and still not get tired of it. I didn’t get the chance to find out because it was devoured really fast. I’m not sure exactly what it is, maybe it’s the coconut milk, but once you have one taste you just don’t want to stop. I went with a more mild kick this time because the last time I made a curry I way underestimated the amount of kick in the green curry paste that I was…

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…

Caramel Pear Swirled Streusel Babka
My internet is down at the present moment and so I’m writing this out the old fashioned with pen and paper. I’ll type it out later to post (which, if you’re reading it now I have obviously done already). As I’m writing it though, I’m realizing that I need to write like this more often because I much prefer it to typing. Mostly that’s because I’m a terrible typer, but also because it feels so much more personal. It’s like the difference between talking to someone in person versus by email or text. It’s real and tangible, I love that. I know I’ll sound like a broken record here, because I’ve already told you…

Crud Muffins……They’re a Thing (Vegan)
So, this post is proof that my older sister and I should never put our heads together on things like this. Haha, we were talking a while ago, about what I should create next, and during our conversation she dropped something on the floor and said “Crud muffins!”. And that was it, we decided then and there that I had to make them. Of course, this then posed the question of, what exactly is a crud muffin? So I’ve been thinking about it and I finally realized that a crud muffin should be a recipe that you use to help clear out the “crud” in your kitchen that has no other particular usage.…

Chocolate Coconut Almond Joy Scones (Vegan)
You’ve probably all noticed that I like to take old classics and turn them into something new. I mean, how boring would it be to just write about plain jane chocolate cake or spaghetti and meatballs? Okay, actually I can think of a lot of things more boring than that and there is a time and place for traditional things, but usually it’s not here. Hopefully you haven’t noticed how much coconut has been happening around here lately, or at least, if you have I hope you are coco-nuts for coconuts (pardon the corny pun.) We just happened to get a bunch of fresh coconuts recently and it was kind of a one…

German Chocolate Cake (Vegan)
It’s a classic for a reason….and I think it’s a pretty obvious one. It’s the best! When I say the best I mean in general as a thing, not that my recipe is the best. Although, it’s a pretty good one. Plus, I may have been told by friends and family that this recipe really is the best, but I’ve recently come to realize how little a claim such as that means in the vast sea of available recipes on the internet. You may find this hard to believe but, as of this moment, I don’t own a cookbook. Not even one. My mom used to have a huge collection that I never…

Faux Fish Sticks with Coconut Basil Cream (Vegan)
I’m following yesterday’s very summery recipe with another. I’m simply not ready to accept that my summer is over so I’m just going to live vicariously through those of you who live up north. Of course, that’s not going to fix anything but I can always hope right? Like, maybe if I think about it hard enough I’ll wake up and find that winter is over and it’s berry season again. Yeah, that would be nice…….but not happening. I’ve officially started getting into the winter stash of berries that I’ve been telling you about for the past few months. There are a lot of them but I know they’ll still disappear in a…
