Vegan Sourdough Hard Pretzels & Honey Mustard Dip
Snacktime just got a whole lot more delicious with this Vegan Sourdough Hard Pretzel Recipe. These are a fun and unique treat to make for the family. Bring these to a dinner party and be the star of the night. You know what I’ve decided is stupid? Well, there is actually a whole list of things that I could answer with here, but currently on my mind is the fact that it takes me like ten times as long to write something as it does to read it. No, like twenty times. Why does it take me so long and is it that way for everyone? This post is all about Vegan…

Watermelon, Pomegranate, & Mint Slushies (Vegan+GF)
I got a haircut a few days ago and it has taken me until now to decide that it’s too short. I’ve always hated when my hair is in between. You know, when it’s too short to be considered long but too long to be considered short. Medium hair is like the sad middle child in a family. The one that doesn’t automatically inherit the identity of being the oldest or the youngest. Basically, I’m feeling like my hair should just go home and rethink it’s life. Maybe I should do that too. Actually I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately and my head hits overload every once in a while. I…

Ukrainian Sunflower Seed Halva (Vegan+GF)
A BIT OF BACKGROUND This post may contain affiliate links. That means I may receive a commission if you purchase something from the links. See disclaimer here. So last week was sister’s birthday and I wanted to try something sweet that would be nostalgic to her and the first thing that came to mind was the sunflower halva that she used to love. I guess I should mention, for those of you who don’t know this, that two of my sisters were born in Ukraine. You’d never guess it now though because they seem every bit as North American as I am. This post is all about Ukrainian Halva, a European favorite. Halva…

Chipotle Hummus & Fajita Veggie Taco Salad Bowls (Vegan)
I’ve come up with some pretty awesome and different flavors since I sort of took over the kitchen, but even now after all of them my family still prefers the classics. I think one of the family’s favorites will always be anything and everything that can be made in a tortilla and slathered in guac (or super hot sauce in my brother’s case). Anyway, the other day was taco tuesday, or rather taco thursday. and as always I made a bazillion tortillas to go with because there’s only like one brand available to buy here and it’s stuffed with preservatives and tastes awful. I’m not gonna lie, even though I could (and I do)…

Chocolate Coconut Almond Joy Scones (Vegan)
You’ve probably all noticed that I like to take old classics and turn them into something new. I mean, how boring would it be to just write about plain jane chocolate cake or spaghetti and meatballs? Okay, actually I can think of a lot of things more boring than that and there is a time and place for traditional things, but usually it’s not here. Hopefully you haven’t noticed how much coconut has been happening around here lately, or at least, if you have I hope you are coco-nuts for coconuts (pardon the corny pun.) We just happened to get a bunch of fresh coconuts recently and it was kind of a one…

German Chocolate Cake (Vegan)
It’s a classic for a reason….and I think it’s a pretty obvious one. It’s the best! When I say the best I mean in general as a thing, not that my recipe is the best. Although, it’s a pretty good one. Plus, I may have been told by friends and family that this recipe really is the best, but I’ve recently come to realize how little a claim such as that means in the vast sea of available recipes on the internet. You may find this hard to believe but, as of this moment, I don’t own a cookbook. Not even one. My mom used to have a huge collection that I never…

Faux Fish Sticks with Coconut Basil Cream (Vegan)
I’m following yesterday’s very summery recipe with another. I’m simply not ready to accept that my summer is over so I’m just going to live vicariously through those of you who live up north. Of course, that’s not going to fix anything but I can always hope right? Like, maybe if I think about it hard enough I’ll wake up and find that winter is over and it’s berry season again. Yeah, that would be nice…….but not happening. I’ve officially started getting into the winter stash of berries that I’ve been telling you about for the past few months. There are a lot of them but I know they’ll still disappear in a…
