This post is all about Roasted Garlic & Mushroom Farfalle Pasta So let’s talk about this vegan roasted garlic & mushroom pasta! Please tell me that you have all had the chance to eat at The Cheesecake Factory at least once??? Not exactly one of the healthiest places but it has it’s merits. It’s also not very vegan friendly, but I haven’t always been vegan. When I was a kid it was one of my family’s favorite restaurants. We don’t have one near us now…

These Frosted Vegan Maple Pecan Bars are soft and chewy. They take less than an hour to make and everyone is sure to love them! It’s May already?

Cheesy Broccoli “Cheddar” Pizza (Vegan+GF)
Happy whatever today is. Is this mess of a month over yet? Okay, well maybe some homemade pizza will help us get through. Ever since I’ve been plant-based I’ve discovered that there are a few standard questions to expect when talking about it with others. Numero uno; “Where do you get your protein?”. Second; “Don’t you miss cheese? I mean bacon tho!?!?”. Third; “Is your whole family vegan?” All of which send me into a fit of laughter, especially three. Let’s just say that I’m the only one in my family who eats this way and they all basically think I’m crazy even though I’m very happy about it. So I was informed…

Double Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies (Vegan+GF)
I’m trying to keep in mind that each day of this continued isolation brings us one day closer to it being over. It helps a little, but gyms are still closed along with everything else. On the bright side I’ve been hiking and making time for lots of things I wouldn’t usually do. Also, I think I might be spending even more time in the kitchen than usual if that’s even possible. If anything can help brighten the mood these days, it’s baking anything with chocolate. Cookies being probably the best choice in my personal opinion. Please tell me you love chocolate hazelnut butter as much as I do because these cookies…

Cinnamon Banana Bread Baked Oats (Vegan+GF)
How’s your Spring going so far? I’m pretty sure we all imagined our year going completely different a few months ago. I just found out that gyms won’t be opening in our state for about 3 more weeks! I’m seriously going to just die, I miss the gym SOOOOO badly. Yes, working out at home is fine, but there are so many reasons I love going somewhere else to workout. It’s a mood. Anyway, I’m over here trying to distract myself by creating recipes and taking way too many photos of food. So I know we’ve all heard a million times how healthy oats are. I know that for a lot of people,…

Indian Red Lentil Dahl (Vegan+GF)
I’ve got a new one today, something I’ve actually never made before. I know it’s kind of a love it or hate it type of food, but I love pretty much any Indian dish. When I was a younger my family never really liked it so I didn’t make it much. Of course, now it’s like a staple when I’m batch cooking for just me or me and my roomies. This dish is great to make ahead because it almost gets better next day. Curries are something that I make all the time but I’ve never made a dahl (also spelled dal or daal). If you’ve never tried it either you might be…

Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Candy Bars (Vegan+GF)
One of my favorite quotes, and the most applicable to my life, is “Necessity is the mother of invention” – Plato I’ve lived in some pretty remote areas where ingredients weren’t available like they are in a city or large town like I live in now. In other words, I had to come up with substitute ingredients for almost everything I wanted to make. While it wasn’t always fun or easy, it definitely expanded my thinking and led me to come up with some great ideas. One of the better ones being these bars. I remembered them recently while talking with family. That’s when I realized that they had to be something I…
