Raspberry Chocolate Chip Crunchy PB&J Bars (Vegan+GF)
Peanut Butter Jelly Time! Peanut Butter Jelly! Peanut Butter Jelly Time…… Are you guys as happy it’s the weekend as I am? At least tell me you’re ready for something super killer deliciously awesome because this one just couldn’t wait for a weekday. Definitely a weekend treat. I’m also excited that it’s Valentine’s Day this weekend because I’ve been loving the pink theme on my Instagram. It’s a bit of a cliché holiday, I know, but I like to have fun with it. So, going along with the theme I had the inspiration for these cookie bars with raspberry jelly and peanut butter and chocolate. PB&J is maybe not the most romantic of…

Homemade Vegan Potstickers
I was telling my friend that I was making potstickers this week and he was like, “what’s that?” How can someone not know what a potsticker is?? I don’t know but maybe I should have said “Asian dumpling”. Some people are so uncultured *rolling eyes*!!! JK, but seriously, I now feel responsible to make sure there are a few less people in this world who have never tried them. So I’m very aware that some people are going to be sitting shaking their heads at me when I start saying how good these are without non-plant-based ingredients. Maybe you are one of them, but hear me out. The flavors that give potstickers their…

Mini Chocolate Chip Bundt Cakes (Vegan+GF)
It’s January so we’re making things a bit healthier and tryna be be good, ya know? These adorable little cakes are perfect for a healthy treat or snack with coffee. They are simple to make and look so elegant when sprinkled with a little bit of powdered sugar. Before I get into this recipe though, can I point out something guys? So I started cooking and baking very young, I’ve been a food blogger for years, worked at restaurant for a good minute, (serving and working in the kitchen), worked in a bakery, and I’ve been vegan for about 3 years. Maybe that much familiarity with food and ingredients gives me an advantage…

Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff (Vegan+GF)
There really is nothing like comfort foods to get through the grey months after the holiday season is over. If you’re anything like me January is a very sad month after all the excitement of December. It’s pretty drab where I live in Northern Idaho right now. I can usually count on at least having a white blanket of snow to brighten these months that seem so long. While I don’t like having to drive in snow it does improve my mood in the Winter. This year seems determined to be fickle and throw all kinds of weather at us. Earlier this week we had the craziest wind storm. Downtown Coeur d’ Alene…

Chocolate Cherry Almond Scones (Vegan+GF)
Well, I think we can agree that we never thought 2020 would actually end. Although, the joke is kind of on us since 2021 is starting out to look pretty similar. But we’re not going to talk about that. Let’s talk about these delicious scones. I’ve been working at a bakery part time for a while now and we bake so many flavors of scones. I always end up thinking about how I haven’t made a scone recipe in ages and how many flavors of scones that I would like to try. My favorite part of coming up with recipes is that I can go to the ingredients I have on hand and…

Soft Baked Gingerbread Cookies (Vegan)
Every holiday season needs gingerbread to be complete, can we agree? When I was a kid it was a family tradition to make gingerbread houses every year. We usually had a little friendly competition to see who’s house was the best. It was fun motivation for the little ones to not give up as soon as they got bored and also to not eat all their sweet decorations before the process was done. The downside of our tradition was always that we’d use those pre-assembled kits that tasted like drywall. They’re so convenient if you have kids and don’t want to spend hours baking and assembling, but for eating they are a no-go.…

Chocolate Coated Pumpkin Spice Cups (Vegan+GF)
I can’t believe how quickly this month has passed by. I’m struggling to keep up with the season because the area I live in tends to switch between Summer and Winter and forget all about Autumn. We just had a record breaking first snow and I’m loving the beauty but also…..like seriously? I really wanted more Autumn. I feel jipped. 😐 Anyway, it’s making think about Christmas season and we’re not even to Halloween yet. Don’t worry, I’ll reign in my obsessive love of Christmas for at least a few more weeks. ;P Despite it feeling like Winter here already, I’m still in the mood for pumpkin spice everything. I was trying to…
