Coconut Vanilla Fluffy Bunny Ears Cupcakes (Vegan)
Somehow it’s approaching the end of another month again. How did that happen? Wow, is it just me or is 2018 passing lightning fast? It’s already almost the first of April you guys and coincidentally that’s also Easter Sunday this year. I’ve already ranted about my confusion over Easter’s jumping date on the calendar every year so I won’t go into that, but I am curious, are you getting sunny weather yet? I’ve heard some of my blogger friends over in Colorado and even Montana are still getting snow up in the mountains. Spring seems to be taking it’s sweet time getting here this year, at least for this area. Since it’s almost…

Easy Vanilla Cream Custard Berry Tarts (Vegan)
It’s Pi Day tomorrow, so naturally there has to be pie right? Right. Glad we’re all on the same page here. So based on our local weather forecast, I’m thinking we’re done with snow around here. A month ago I might have been sad to see Winter go because I’ve missed having a white Winter season for so many years, but in case you haven’t noticed, I’m basically over Winter and totally ready for Spring. Yes, mid-March is the perfect time for Spring to truly arrive. This is such a random thing to notice unless you’re me, but when I got in the car yesterday and the seat was warmed from the sun…

Chocolate Oats & Maple Cut-Out Cookies (Vegan+GF)
Easter is approaching fast isn’t it? My sis was telling me about these particular cookies that she’d gotten from a local bakery while I was away traveling. Apparently they were memorable because she still has been asking me to recreate them. The way she described them was that they’re just your basic shortbread cookie, but with that bakery vanilla flavor and a chocolate dip that makes them so good. While I’m definitely going to make her some just like that, I was inspired by her talking about it to try making a little bit of a healthier version. You know, because sweets have a time and place, but it’s good to throw in…

Healthy Carrot Cake Cupcakes + Coconut Frosting (Vegan+GF)
So tell me if this is just me, but I always seem to wonder about the most random things in life. My mom used to tell me I’d ask her the deepest questions as a little kid. The kind of questions that really stump parents as there’s no possible way to describe and explain the answers to a child even if they do have an answer. Questions about time, space, and concepts of fairness in life. Mom was always pretty good at coming up with an answer to appease my shorter self, but looking back now I can see that I put her in some tough positions with my spontaneous inquiries. These days…

Easy Vanilla Marshmallow Milkshakes
You know you’re a grown-up, responsible, mature adult when…….you purposefully dump miniature marshmallows everywhere to take a photo and no one questions your sanity. I’ve learned a few things this week, and one of them is that you’re not in the right line of work if you can’t enjoy what you do. Okay, I’d be the first one to defend the fact that food-blogging is way freaking harder than it might sound. Contrary to what some may think, it’s a full-time, multi-faceted, difficult job (with a lot of dishes), plus working from home presents its own challenges. Okay, but it’s also a lot of fun sometimes. So do you remember me mentioning…

Vegan Cappuccino Cake + White Chocolate Espresso Frosting
This vegan cappuccino cake with vegan white chocolate espresso frosting is a serious showstopper. It’s so full of flavor and sure to please everyone on your guest list! So I was looking through my recipe notebook/idea book yesterday for where I’d written down this recipe. This is the book that ends up with all the random inspirations I have, notes, reminders, and of course recipes. As I was scrolling through it though, it occurred to me that to anyone else looking through the pages, it would look like complete gibberish and most likely have whoever was looking at it questioning my mental stability. This post is all about Vegan Cappuccino Cake with White…

Vanilla Oat Flour Protein Crepes + Berries (Vegan+GF)
Good morning, my lovelies! The season is starting to get to that tipping point of permanently crisp air, rainy days, and bare trees and I’m starting to get excited for all that the holiday season is going to involve this year. I’m also highly excited about next week. In case you missed it in my recent posts, I’m going to Europe for the first time in my life! Yes, so I’m looking forward to it lot but there is still a lot of planning I have to do and things I want to get done before so making time to enjoy something filling and delicious is a priority to keep me going. These…
