Homemade Peanut Butter Crunch Breakfast Cereal Puffs (Vegan+GF)
So I’m writing this from my new house and even though I’m not all moved in yet, we’re working on getting things set up. Today I wanted to do a throwback recipe from something my pregnant sister was craving back when we lived in Chile. One of her cravings was really random; peanut butter Cap’n Crunch. That’s pretty random, right? I knew there was no way we were going to be able to find anything remotely close down there unless I made it. It’s hard enough just to find peanut butter there. It was clear since we moved there that there is a general dislike of peanut butter in Chile’s culture so the…

Throw these together for the Superbowl or your next Christmas party! Are there any fans of Southwestern style food in the house? Anyone? Bueller…..Bueller…….

It is so good with these egg rolls (that don’t actually contain eggs, by the way). Actually, does anyone know why they’re called “egg” rolls in the first place? I’m thinking maybe I…

Fluffy Whole Wheat Eggnog Pancakes with Homemade Eggnog
Get ready for some good news…..we’re having “eggnog” pancakes! Okay, so I had some leftover nog the other day this idea just came to me, “What better way to use them during the holidays than making some delicious pancakes? It’s all over now. I don’t know that we will ever be able to go back to regular pancakes. My family loved these so much that I wouldn’t be surprised if they blackmail me into making nog in June just so that I can make these. They were that good. I’ve already made them twice this week and you know that I don’t do that very often because I’m always trying something new. I…

Perfect Crinkle Snickerdoodle Cookies (Vegan)
I can’t really imagine what the holidays would be like without baking at least one batch of cookies. There are so many possibilities too. I mean, you’ve got the classic, and basically synonymous with Christmas, gingerbread men. Then there are your basic sugar cookies or shortbread. In my family chocolate chip cookies usually make their way into every holiday treat line-up. Oh, and we almost always make these little snowball cookies that I think everyone is familiar with. With all the variety, it’s not surprising that there are some cookies that aren’t as commonly made in some homes and for us that was always snickerdoodles. In fact, I hardly remember my family ever making…

Easy Black Bean and Lentil Chili (Vegan+GF)
Did someone say they were feeling chilly? or was that chili? I couldn’t tell cuz, honestly I’m feeling both! In recent years, my family has become huge fans of Chili. My parents and older siblings have always liked chili, but my younger siblings have not liked it up until recently. So as result, I did not make it that often. But now, it’s a household favorite so I am always trying to put a little spin or tweak to it here and there. I love adding lentils to chili because they hide really well. We also like to serve it with cornbread. I have shared a few versions of cornbread but THIS ONE is…

Triple Chocolate Sour Cream Scones (Vegan)
I am posting one of my favorite new recipes. You seriously have to try it unless you are a scone hater. I mean, is it just me or are scones notorious for being dry and bland? The people who think that have obviously never had a good scone. My family loves scones but I usually just do basic. This time we needed a serious chocolate fix so went for triple chocolate and the results pretty much speak for themselves. These scones were a hit. We all agreed that they somehow taste exactly like chocolate pop-tarts, but better. Not sure how that happened but I am just gonna go with it. They’re like chocolate…

I absolutely love Fall and all that comes with it. Especially the holidays! This post is all about vegan pumpkin spice doughnuts It’s September! Fall Baking Starts Now!
