Warm Sage & Almond Pesto Roasted Potato Salad
You know what is a pretty broad term? Salad. I feel like I’ve said this same thing many times before, actually I know I have, but it’s as true as ever. Where I grew up in the southern part of the States, every gathering with friends or church potluck was proof of this fact. It may even surprise some of you to know that it’s a common thing to make dessert salads in the mid-west. I kid you not, one popular version of that type of salad includes marshmallows, cherries, and whipped cream. My mom used to make it a lot for parties and we loved it. I’m just saying, a “salad” doesn’t…

Ghostly Mocha Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcakes (Vegan)
Uh huh, yep, it’s that time of year again……. Isn’t it crazy how this year is flying by? Recently things have been really busy for me and so many things have changed in the last few months, while other things are the same as ever. I guess that’s the beauty of time. So in talking about this time of year, when we first moved to Chile we were living in a pretty remote area so there weren’t any neighbors or houses around us for us to see what goes on for the 31st and we just assumed that halloween wasn’t even recognized here. Then we moved to a more urban area and so last…

Hey, or better yet, you’ll just have to go make it right now! Yeah, okay that’s definitely the best plan, but just a sec…… Before I talk more about the recipe and how easy it is I should probably have a moment of catch up for any of you following along, because even though I just shared a recipe on Wednesday, I actually haven’t written…

Pumpkin Pie French Toast & Kahlúa Vanilla Syrup (Vegan+GF)
Hey again, how were your weekends guys? Mine was pretty busy, but in a good way. Lots of cooking, obviously, because I don’t know what to do with myself otherwise. I also spent some time over this weekend doing some miscellaneous Spring cleaning things like organizing my spice cabinet. I’ve told you how they sell the spices here in these individual little pouches that are only enough to make you mad, right? It really kind of makes me crazy until I have the chance to organize like I just did. Then there was that other thing ………you know, what I mentioned Friday about my first (eh hem…….) date? Yeah, so you can probably imagine…

Chocolate Hazelnut Scones with “Nutella” Glaze (Vegan)
How about something a little bit, but not too sweet today? That’s one of the things I like most about scones, they’re really good at toeing that line between breakfast items and dessert. Come to think of it, that’s probably why you don’t feel quite so guilty enjoying them with your morning coffee and yet they also make a marvelous dessert when the occasion calls for them. I feel like I’ve said this before, but I’ve always felt like scones have sort of a bad rep for being dry and tasteless. At least, that’s how it seems to be in my circles. But you know what, I also feel like they don’t have to be.…
