Raspberry Pomegranate Overnight Oats (Vegan+GF)
Okay guys, I think I found a new favorite way to eat oats. Before I get to the recipe though, how was your weekend? Did you do anything really fun or make any funny memories. Even if you just spent it with people you love it would be a good weekend in my opinion. So my weekend was great but the saddest thing happened. My camera’s SD card was apparently cracked without my knowledge and when I tried to pull it out of my laptop it jammed and a side piece of plastic it broke off inside. The bad news is that pulling it out pretty much destroyed my laptops SD card reader…

Chocolate Coated Nuts and Seeds Granola Bars (Vegan+GF)
Well, it has definitely been a busy week so far. I’ve been planning, cooking, planning to cook, and even planning to plan. That last one doesn’t always work out with all the different variables that inevitably change whatever I may have attempted to plan but I keep trying anyway. We’ve had some birthdays, some family events, and then this weekend we’re having a gathering with a pretty large group of friends for the evening. Of course you can’t have a good party if it doesn’t involve some good food and you know I love any opportunity to make extra special things so I’m planning for that too. All of that and then we…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Easter Egg Cake Truffles (Vegan)
Hey again, I’m here to (surprise, surprise) tell you about something chocolate! Okay, I know I should be sharing something a little bit more balanced to help inspire you to start your week off right, but……. well chocolate. Did you catch that part? Oh, and there’s peanut butter too! Since the very first months of blogging until now I’ve always wanted to be super organized and planned with my recipes but with the craziness of life things don’t always pan out as I plan. So anyway, I found myself trying to brainstorm some last-minute recipes recently and of course I had Easter on my mind since it’s getting very close. Less than a…

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…

Brownie Filled Chocolate Chip Cookie Meringue Tart
I’m saying hey from the past to some my favorite people on planet earth! That’s you, my awesome readers! I hope you’re having a good Friday. Actually I wish it was Friday right now, but unfortunately…..it’s not. So obviously life gets crazy pretty often and as a blogger you can’t always leave things to chance or rely on the hope that somehow you’ll just have enough time to get everything done. That’s why it’s usually a good practice to be on top of things by having a little backlog of future posts as a buffer in case of emergencies. On the flip side, you can’t really write too far ahead without seeming detached and…

Chunky Monkey Caramelized Banana Split Sundaes (Vegan+GF)
I’ve never made banana splits before you guys, isn’t that ridiculous? We were watching a movie recently and, I don’t even remember which one it was now, but there was a scene in an old-fashioned diner. You know, classic Americana, 1950’s, juke boxes, poodle skirts…. you get the picture. In the scene they brought out this big and beautiful banana split and none of us could help wanting to dive into the screen at that point. I realized immediately that a banana split was lacking in my repertoire of recipes and I knew that I had to fix this major problem as soon as possible. I didn’t want to make just any banana splits…

Sea Salt & Olive Oil Dark Chocolate Brownies (Vegan+GF)
Yeah…….okay I did put olive oil in your brownies. Can we still be friends? And wait just a second before you completely write me off as insane please, they’re actually really good! Seriously, no one could ever tell there is olive oil in them if you don’t tell. They’ve got it all; that rich fudgy texture, a perfect amount of sweetness, and that bittersweet balance with them being extra dark. Oh, and don’t let me forget the sea salt on top, that’s the magic touch that takes them to a whole other level of delish! However if salty/sweet isn’t really your thing then feel free to cut back or even skip it if…
