Berry Coconut Breakfast Smoothie Bowls (Vegan+GF)
Can I tell you a little bit about these bowls please? I’m just so excited ’cause I know your going to love them! Am I the only one who has noticed the smoothie bowl craze taking over the internet? Well whatever the case, it is and everyone is cranking out the most gorgeous and colorful creations of fruitiness so I couldn’t help but start to feel left out, right? To be completely honest, the first time I saw a smoothie bowl I thought it was a pretty lame idea and I didn’t see myself ever wanting to make one. I mean, smoothies are supposed to be what they claim, smooth, so that they can…

Chia Oat Banana Pancakes (Vegan & Gluten Free)
I have something healthy to share today guys!!! Let’s talk about banana pancakes. They’re a huge staple in the frequented recipe department, or at least they are in my house. Liv told me she was craving them a few days ago and after thinking about it I realized that, not only has it been way too long since I posted a pancakes recipe, but I’ve NEVER shared one for banana pancakes! How is that even possible? They are such a go-to when we’ve got too many ripe nanners and I’m feeling unimaginative or just needing some serious comfort food. What have been doing with my life? I mean, good grief, Jack Johnson even…

Chunky Dark Chocolate Coconut & Pistachio Brownies (Vegan+GF)
The pistachios are back! I feel like I’ve been repeating star ingredients a lot lately but pistachios are kind of new for me since we only recently found where we can buy them. Of course, they’re raw in shells so you have to crack them, and after going through the effort of shelling a bunch you feel like you should get the most out of your labor of love, you know what I mean? By the way, happy (almost) March you guys! Wow, is the year breezing by or what? I can’t believe it’s already almost time for the seasons to start changing again. Actually, our constant chilly rain the last few days is making me…

Banana Pudding & Homemade Vanilla Wafer Cookies (Vegan)
I think this is very possibly going to require you to go and dig out your fat pants and maybe even practice your pudding dance. Just a thought…… I’m kind of hoping that you’re all just here for the food though, because I honestly don’t have a lot of words today. That’s a common thing that happens to me when I’m sharing something as classic as this dessert is. Banana pudding pretty much speaks for itself, don’t you think? I mean, it would be like introducing you to someone who you’re already good friends with to tell you much about it. Like really, what is there to say about banana pudding that hasn’t already…

Raspberry Filled Chocolate Chip Cupcakes (Vegan)
I’m going to sound like a broken record, but……is it genuinely, actually, truly Friday already, for reals? This week was yet another blur that passed me without my permission. Why does this keep happening to me? I just realized that Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I haven’t even thought about it until today. Or yesterday actually, but same difference. Summer is almost halfway gone and it’s one of the best things about where I live. I feel like I’m constantly complaining about the seasonal differences of living in the Southern Hemisphere versus the Northern. It’s just hard to get used to bright sun and warm breezes replacing your Christmas snow,…

Holiday Cookie Week #3: Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies (Vegan)
And we have more cookies…… I hope you guys aren’t minding the back to back sweets, but it is December and there are just so many cookies to be baked. I promise to post some healthier stuff come January (or possibly sooner). Maybe we’ll all go on a juice cleanse!…….Only, I just remembered, chocolate. Yeah, we’ll have like a salad and call it good. Okay, for the third cookie recipe this week I made another classic family fave. These are the like lovechild of a perfectly baked (chocolateless) chocolate chip cookie and a gingerbread man. You’ve maybe tried them before or something similar. If you haven’t though, you must. I’m telling you, so…

Holiday Cookie Week #2: Romance Cookie Bars (Pecan Pie Bars)
I actually enjoyed my Monday this week. Does that make me a total weirdo? It was mostly because I had a jam-packed weekend with back to back company on top of some blog planning and recipe testing so I was in the kitchen even more than usual. We’re talking sun up to sun down, and the days are at their longest here so that’s a long time. It’s not that there aren’t plenty of people around to help with things, there are, but you know what they say about too many cooks and soup. I need to get better at it, but I don’t always work cohesively with others #ControlFreak. Well, it’s that,…
