Maple Drizzled Pistachio & Avocado Bagel Toast (Vegan)
Here’s me following a trend just for the heck of it again. On a scale of one to ten how lame do you think that is? I mean, I don’t think of myself as being follower of the norm by any means, and way more often than not I stay as far from a fad as I can. However, I’ll admit that it’s a rarity, but sometimes a the bandwagon gang knows their stuff, and I’m pretty sure this is one of those times. Avocado toast people, it’s where it’s at! I think the craze started because avo makes a way healthier alternative to just about anything that would usually make an appearance on…

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…

Balsamic Roasted Peach, Almond, & Cilantro Pizza (Vegan)
Welcome to the month of February, where 93% of New Year’s resolutions come to die. I mean, can you honestly admit to not having fallen off the wagon all year? If so then I’m super happy for you, you’re an incredible individual with astonishing willpower. For those of us living in a more realistic world though, this is where the line between strictly healthy food and cravings for chocolate starts to get a little bit blurred. As far as pizzas are conscerned though, this one isn’t too bad. It’s got some pretty undeniably healthy toppings. It’s where the cheese and yeasty bread crust come in that we start approaching that tipping point. But…

Easy Raspberry Jalapeno Dip & Homemade Wheat Thins
Did you all have a really great weekend? I hope so, I had one of the best ever! This was my first Christmas as an aunty and also my last one as a teenager (omg, that’s kinda sad ;( ). My nephew was so cute opening his first presents ever, absolutely adorable and hilarious at the same time. Anyone have plans for New Year’s? Is it just me or is it a very anti-climatic holiday after the hype of Christmas? I’ve always thought so. We don’t have any traditions or anything special that we do as a family. Most years we just spend the weekend trying to cram in replays of our favorite…

Hot, Hot, Hot, We Got It! Nog Hot Chocolate
Here we only have one rule; never, ever let it cool!…………… Who’s all aboard for some hot chocolate? Great, cause, I don’t know if you can tell, but I’m so excited to share it with you! In case you missed the last few posts this week, I’ve been doing recipes inspired by our favorite Christmas movies. Today, of course, is inspired by Polar Express! Come on, who doesn’t love the hot chocolate scene, it’s one of the best parts! I know that since the movie came out, there have probably been a bazillion recipes inspired by it, but I think this one is pretty unique. I put a lot of thought into how…

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,…
