Almond Joy Pudding Parfaits & Coconut Sable Cookie Dippers
Can I spend just a second to discuss how much I love food that’s layered in pretty little jars and glasses? It’s just way more fun. Something about a bunch of yummy ingredients with contrasting flavors and textures coming together in one dish is way more exciting than if you were to eat each thing separately. Although, if you were one of those kids that got freaked out about your peas touching your mashed potatoes than you may disagree with me on this. As much as I hate to say it, I don’t think we can work out as friends because there’s simply no way I’m backing down on my position here. Jar…

Tiki Bars! Nutty Tropical Fruit Granola Bars (Vegan + GF)
Hey guys!, So tell me, how was your weekend? Did you do anything fun and exciting for daddy day? Oh, and can you even believe that it’s already summer/winter?!?!? I feel like someone is skipping calendar pages or something. I’m not gonna lie though, I’m really excited to be entering a new season, even if winter is my least favorite one from down here where I live. Things have slowed down a lot for me these last few weeks and my days have been feeling kind of squished and strung together in monotonous tedium. It’s only because there isn’t much going on this time of year but the repetitive routine is starting to…

Strawberry (Ridiculously) Tall Mini Cakes (Vegan)
I’m taking a little break from my seasonal reality and dreaming of Spring flowers and Summer picnics today. It’s getting so close to the first day of being technically Winter here and that means a ton of rain. I’m not gonna lie though, complain as I might about the fact that we don’t get snow here, I’m feeling pretty grateful right about now for the more mild temperatures of living where we do and its relation to sea level. Yeah, like I just pointed out, it’s not even winter yet and I’m already getting ready for it to get warm again. I have to tell you, summers in Patagonia are the best! But I…

Dreamy Soft Coconut Meltaway Cookies (Vegan)
Have I told you lately…………….that I love you?………………..?? Just kidding. Well, I actually do love you guys for being so awesome, but what I was going to say was ‘have I told you how much I love coconut?’ I’m discovering that pretty much anything and everything is better with coconut water/milk/cream/oil. Clearly I’m becoming obsessed here but did you know there is even such a thing as coconut sugar? The more I use it the more I wonder why we don’t ditch dairy all together when we’ve got coconuts around. Of course, then a mixture of thoughts come to mind including ice skates, Wilson volley balls, and my own experiences in hacking away at one…

Spiced Chocolate Chili Java Chip Fudge Cookies (Vegan)
And here we are on another Friday and if you’re anything like me you’re wondering what happened to your week, or planning what to do over the weekend…… and possibly craving some major amounts of chocolate. Fear not, I’ve got that part covered! I’m really excited to tell you about these deep dark chocolate cookies that I’m sharing today! They are not only filled with the wonderful magic of spice and chocolate together, but I also made some homemade java chips which are basically a mocha version of chocolate chips and they are really simple. The recipe makes more java chips than you’ll use for one batch of these but I figured you…

Layered Fiesta Taco Bowls with Vegan “Bacon” Bits
I’ve got a question to ask, am I the only one who had never even heard of “bacon” made from plants until recently! Well if not, it’s totally a thing guys! Facon exists!!! At first I was averse to the whole idea and completely on team You can’t even go there! Even as a young kid I never liked bacon so I was pretty skeptical. That is, of course, until I tried the stuff. Omg peeps, it’s insane! So about these bowls, I know “bacon” may not be the most typical thing to add to your tacos, or in this case taco bowls, but I was surprised by how much it works. A few bites of these…

Churro Chips & Salted Hot Chocolate Sauce (Vegan)
I know I say this a lot so it’s probably losing its credibility…..but guys, these are Dangerous with a capital D! I decided that I needed to christen my new deep fryer (Tuck) with something delicious, but also simple so that I could keep it a no-fail situation for my first time using it. Plus, you may have noticed already, but I’m really getting into Cinco de Mayo as a theme to go with this year and churros with hot chocolate are just a well known classic Mexican food that I wanted to do something with. I feel liked I missed my Valentine’s Day opportunities for the most part and then I slacked big time…
