Cinnamon Apple Graham Cracker Crumb Bars (Vegan)
And it appears the weekend’s over, so um………I think we need something sweet to “celebrate”, right? HEY, how do you feel about apples and cinnamon stuffed inside cookie bars???? But for reals, what do you think? I have all types in my gang when it comes to apple desserts; the ones that like anything and everything, the ones that only like cooked apples but hate cinnamon, the ones that claim to be allergic to all fruits, those that only like raw apples, and those that refuse to have an opinion at all. With so many people living here in casa craziness it’s becoming easier and easier to get rid of all my extras…

Almond & Condensed Coconut Milk Blondies (Vegan+GF)
Wow, we’re already about halfway into August. How did that happen so quickly? August has always been my least favorite month of the year because it seems so anti-climactic and plain. Like, nothing really happens during the month. A close second to August on my least favorites would probably be February because that’s always the month when I start getting sick of the cold and snow. Other than those two, every other month of the year has something redeeming about it that I really like. From March to July is full of Spring/Summer fun, events, parties, and warm weather. There’s tons of fresh fruit in season and everything just seems so bright and…

Triple Layer Caramel Crack Brownie Bars (Vegan)
It’s been too long since the last time I created a new outrageously layered cookie bar, don’t you think? Well, recently with all the holidays upon us I’ve been baking a lot for my family and it’s always fun to throw something new into the mix along with all the seasonal favorites. That’s why it’s pretty dangerous to leave any unwanted candy or baking ingredients around me for long, because they will inevitably end up in a dessert. It’s been almost a month since Halloween but there’s always those stray candies left that didn’t get eaten by the hungry kiddos, or is that just in my house? Well, for some reason the…

Chocolate Chip White Bean Blender Blondies (Vegen+GF)
I’m so excited that we’re now counting down the days until Autumn officially begins! Who’s with me??? Well, okay quite honestly I am torn between excitement and a little bit of sadness to see Summer ending but that is quickly forgotten every time I think about all of my favorite upcoming things in the Fall and Winter. Warning you early, there will an obsessive amount of me talking about those things coming your way soon enough. However, for now I’ll let you off the hook and get straight into these blondies that I’m sharing with you today! So……um yeah, I REALLY did put beans in my dessert and I’m not afraid to admit…

“Reese’s” Chocolate Peanut Butter Explosion Cookie Bars (Vegan)
Okay, so I have to ask, do you think it’s possible to have too much peanut butter and/or chocolate? Because um……there is a little bit of it in these bars and I’m just not seeing how it’s a problem. Fine, so obviously too much of any on thing is not good but what I’m talking about is all of the different forms of those two epic ingredients that are incorporated into these bars. Also, have I overdone it with the peanut butter stuff lately? I feel like there’s been a lot. But like I said; can you have too much? Something about the month of September makes me crave peanut butter more so than even the rest of the year. 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,…

Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Brownie Bars (Vegan)
Yup, that’s right. I went there! How goes your life? Good? Not so good? Well, I hope it’s the former but I’m pretty confidant that either way it’s about to get better. I know, in the past I’ve knocked the so-called “America’s favorite cookie” and I still haven’t changed my mind about not liking them. I just can’t get over the memory of feeling like I was eating burnt cardboard with frosting in the center. Also, they aren’t exactly health food so I figure if it’s not something I’d enjoy eating, what’s the point? Oreos, jojos, whatever they’re called, I’m personally just not a huge fan. Now, when you use them as an…
