“Egg”nog Latte (Vegan Starbucks Copycat)
Because what better way to start the week, right? And especially this time of year. I mean, it’s December, everything’s getting all Christmasy, and Baby, it’s cold outside. I know I’m in the mood for lattes! What about you? Ha, as if! Okay I admit it, I’ve slowly been becoming a coffee addict over the past year(ish) and now I think there is a distinct possibility that I’ll end up being one of those people who can’t function without it someday. This is something that would probably bother me more, depress me even, if I wasn’t currently buzzed on the Joe. Instead I’m rationalizing that I’d never want to exist in a world…

Chestnut Cake + Eggnog Buttercream Frosting
…Because I couldn’t let the year end without one more cake. This is it guys, 2015 is about to kick the metaphorical bucket and 2016 is loaded and ready to start unfolding the adventures that it holds for you! I hope you’re ready for this little thing I like to call life. I’m not sure that I am, but I’m excited all the same. It’s already looking like it will be even crazier than this past year was. We have some friends building a house right now and they’re on a deadline so we’re going to do all that we can to help them get it done. These friends are missionaries here…

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…

“Egg”nog Chocolate Chunk Scones
Hey all you Chocoholics, as promised, I give you…CHOCOLATE!! Not only chocolate, but chocolate wrapped in festive marvelousness!! Are you ready for the holidays? I can’t believe it’s already here. I have spent months planning and preparing and it snuck up on me. Okay, what do you think about eggnog? To be honest the actual eggnog made with eggs was always pretty disgusting to me. That’s why when I discovered that you could have almost the exact same flavor with an alternative such as almond, coconut, or soy milk. This past Christmas I found that there were so many kinds to choose from and I even tried making my own. So, tell me,…

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…
