Easy Oats & Seeds Rawnola (Vegan+GF)
I know what you’re thinking. “Is she seriously sharing another version of granola?” If you’ve been around for a while then you probably are familiar with my obsession with granola. That’s why it shouldn’t come as any surprise that I’ve found a new version to fall in love with. It’s “rawnola”, and it’s my new favorite thing. Okay, so basically it’s just crumbled up bliss balls or unbaked granola but it’s so good! It’s kind of a crossover between oatmeal and cereal. Plus, it’s way faster and easier than granola so you can have it ready in minutes. I think this is where the crowd will split because if you’re the…

Smoky Portobello Veggie Burgers (Vegan+GF)
It’s long past time for some burgers. I’m writing this post from Montana where I’m camping with my sis. I say “camping” because we’re staying in a dry cabin but to me that’s pretty close to camping. We had to bring basically everything we needed aside from a shelter. That means bedding, towels, etc. We’re going to be hiking to some waterfalls tomorrow and maybe rafting down the river. I’m so excited to share it all but for now I’m sharing a recent recipe while I continue gathering good content from this trip. So did you know you could turn a plain old mushroom into something nearly unrecognizable? And…

Fudgy Sweet Potato “Nutella” Brownies (V+GF)
Is there a more perfect treat than brownies? I don’t think so. Of course, I’m super indecisive so if I had to choose between brownies and, say, chocolate chip cookies or ice cream, I’d probably fail. So I made homemade nutella recently and omg, yum! When you’re a recipe creator though, sometimes you end up with a lot of extras from testing and that’s what happened here. In these cases my philosophy is always to make lemonade out of lemons. Also, I’m contemplating how I have ever lived without a blender. I mean, obviously brownies aren’t the most essential thing to life (Haha, depending on who you ask 😉 ). It’s…

Energizing Ginger Berry Maca Smoothie (Vegan+GF)
It’s been a minute since I’ve shared a smoothie recipe. I guess it’s because they are such a common thing in my house that I think of them as sort of mundane. While I don’t have a smoothie every single day, I do usually end up making one everyday for others in my family. Of course, those are usually very basic with mostly fruits. This one however, is more my style of smoothie when I am in the mood. Now I don’t know if you’ve heard of this little health hack before but you have to try it. It’s cauliflower, and hold on just a second before you bale.…

Blueberry Lavender Protein Waffles (Vegan+GF)
Good morning, anyone care for some waffles? Before I get into the recipe, can I just say how excited I am after finding out I’m going to Eastern Europe for the first time! More specifically, Poland, and even more specific, the city of Kraków. I’m sure I’ll be making the trip count by visiting some nearby countries as well, but that part isn’t quite ironed out yet. I’ll keep you updated as my plans form and as it gets closer. Okay, so I promise I’m not obsessed with lavender, however I can’t promise the same for berries. While I was shopping recently I came across a product called blueberry lavender…

Korean Edamame & Jicama Stir-Fry (Vegan+GF)
I’ve been trying to branch out beyond my comfort zone when it comes to the produce section. There are all kinds of plants that I’ve never even tasted and have know idea how to use. You’d think after so many years of working with food this often, I’d have tried everything. But nope, I definitely haven’t. That’s why I’ve sort of made myself this little challenge of buying something new (or at least something I’ve rarely used). We’ll see how long it takes me to reach my goal; being able to walk by all the fruits and veggies be familiar with it all. Jicama isn’t the most common veggie…

Cherry Berry Nice Cream Sundaes (Vegan+GF)
Is there such a thing as too much ice cream? Also, does anyone else just want to shake the hand of the person who discovered that blending frozen bananas creates this miraculous, creamy consistency? I know I do. Seriously guys, nice cream is life. There’s a cherry tree in our backyard that has the prettiest flowers when it blooms. This year it has matured enough to yield some pretty sweet cherries so we did our best to pick them all. What really surprised me though, was how quickly they came and went. I walked out back a few days ago and they were literally gone already. I was only…
