5-Ingredient S’mores Puff Pastry Pop-Tarts
Yes, I’m bringing the puff pastry back! Considering the fact that they’re s’mores flavored you can probably guess what at least 3 of those ingredients are. Yep, we’re taking the pieces that make up a great s’more and stuffing them into puff pastry for a really simple treat that will convince everyone you spent hours on them, when in reality they only take about 35 minutes. Score! So my cousins are still staying with us and I love this because they’re a great source of inspiration when I need to make something new. A few days ago I was asking which things I needed to try making while they were here and one…

No-Bake Raw Vegan Snickers Bars
So let’s talk about legendary recipes. I’d say most families have them. Whether it’s grandma’s famous pie recipe passed down from generation to generation, dad’s special lasagna, or your uncle’s secret sauce recipe. It’s funny how the really good ones have a way of sticking around. Well, after spending a few years now constantly trying new recipes and coming up with different combinations, I’d like to think I’ve created a few of those type. The ones that will be repeated over and over because they’re just that good. Of course, I’d be the first to admit that not all my recipe testing has been 5-star-restaurant worthy. There have definitely been some epic…

Goji Berry Banana Chia Breakfast Jars (Vegan+GF)
So we finally had an almost sunny day yesterday and I’m so hopeful that it means all the Spring feels are finally going to start soon. Honestly, can we just get a little sunshine around here??? Well the weather is making me really miss the flowers. That was actually one of my favorite things about the house we lived in in Chile, the backyard had so many varieties of flowers that bloomed all through the spring and summer season. It probably got me a little to be spoiled to using them in my food photography and even sometimes in recipes. Did you know most flowers are edible? I know the area I…

Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough Protein Bars (Vegan+GF)
You guys are probably thinking I’m obsessed with cookie dough at this point but……….wait, who are we kidding, I totally am! Yes, give me a planet where berries are abundant, the rivers are chocolate, and cookie dough grows on trees and I’d be all set. Anybody wanna move there with me? Oh, wait I forgot peanut butter! Yes, peanut butter’s gotta be included in there somewhere. So, it’s getting very close to marking a year since I came back to the States from Chile and it’s really hard to believe. This year has been so full of good, a little bad, and mostly unexpected things. One of the things I’ve been asked so…

Fluffy Lemon Pancakes + Sweet Cashew Butter
So I was thinking, it’s been a while since the last time I shared a pancake recipe, hasn’t it? Honestly, it’s a little hard to keep track sometimes when I share so many recipes, but I can’t imagine it ever being a bad time for them, so I think pancakes are on the menu today! Some of my family like the thinner pancakes but most of them like the thickest fluffiest kind and I personally think those are the best texture. The hint of lemon is just the thing to make these some seriously memorable pancakes and then, of course, I had to make some sweet cashew butter for good measure to put…

The Best Vegan Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies
I think it’s safe to say I’ve baked a few cookies in my lifetime……. In fact, I feel like I’ve tried just about every flavor of cookie out there. Okay, maybe not quite, but there’s been a lot. All those cookies and yet I still can hardly imagine a more perfect cookie creation than a perfectly chewy, soft, sweet, chocolate chip cookie. These are definitely the most requested treat in my house and I don’t see the demand going down anytime soon. The tricky part in making the perfect batch of these classic treats, is finding that sweet spot between too cakey and too lacey. Then there’s the ratio of chocolate to dough…

Chocolate Hazelnut Granola Orange Yogurt Bowl
If only I had a dime for every yogurt bowl I’ve ever had…….. I’m always excited to share a new recipe, but when it’s one this close to my heart I have a special excitement. Before I get to that though, quick question; how do you feel about shopping? Malls and department stores really aren’t a place I frequent. I’m being completely honest when I say that shopping has never been my thing. Like, I’m not the type of girl to spend tons of money on new clothes, shoes, or anything else that I don’t really need and there are certain stores I even dread having to go into. Actually, when I do…
