Chia Oat Banana Pancakes (Vegan & Gluten Free)
I have something healthy to share today guys!!! Let’s talk about banana pancakes. They’re a huge staple in the frequented recipe department, or at least they are in my house. Liv told me she was craving them a few days ago and after thinking about it I realized that, not only has it been way too long since I posted a pancakes recipe, but I’ve NEVER shared one for banana pancakes! How is that even possible? They are such a go-to when we’ve got too many ripe nanners and I’m feeling unimaginative or just needing some serious comfort food. What have been doing with my life? I mean, good grief, Jack Johnson even…

“Nutella” Cheesecake Dark Chocolate Overload Cake (Vegan)
There is an outrageous amount of chocolate going on today! How do you feel about that? (Feel free to insert your positive exclamations here ->_____! i.e. Heck YES!) Said chocolate also comes with an outrageous amount of pictures. I promised myself I was going to get better about that but I think I may actually be getting worse. It’s just so hard to stop snapping pictures when there is this much chocolate beauty to be captured, you know? So I made this for Jenya’s 19th birthday and, I could be wrong, but I think it says a lot about how much I love her. I’ve actually been waiting all week to share this because…

Maple Drizzled Pistachio & Avocado Bagel Toast (Vegan)
Here’s me following a trend just for the heck of it again. On a scale of one to ten how lame do you think that is? I mean, I don’t think of myself as being follower of the norm by any means, and way more often than not I stay as far from a fad as I can. However, I’ll admit that it’s a rarity, but sometimes a the bandwagon gang knows their stuff, and I’m pretty sure this is one of those times. Avocado toast people, it’s where it’s at! I think the craze started because avo makes a way healthier alternative to just about anything that would usually make an appearance on…

Banana Pudding & Homemade Vanilla Wafer Cookies (Vegan)
I think this is very possibly going to require you to go and dig out your fat pants and maybe even practice your pudding dance. Just a thought…… I’m kind of hoping that you’re all just here for the food though, because I honestly don’t have a lot of words today. That’s a common thing that happens to me when I’m sharing something as classic as this dessert is. Banana pudding pretty much speaks for itself, don’t you think? I mean, it would be like introducing you to someone who you’re already good friends with to tell you much about it. Like really, what is there to say about banana pudding that hasn’t already…

Thai Cashew Stir-Fry & Lemongrass Infused Brown Rice
I think I might be obsessed with Thai food you guys…….. Like, if I just found out I only had a few days to live I’d probably make eating some Thai one of my top priorities. Have you ever thought about that, by the way? What would you eat if nothing else mattered and it was all about what you actually love to eat. If you could take away every other factor (nutrition, expense, calories, availability, etc…….), if none of those things existed what would you eat just because you genuinely love the taste? I find it hard to decide what I personally favor and you probably do too, becuase all of those…

Balsamic Roasted Peach, Almond, & Cilantro Pizza (Vegan)
Welcome to the month of February, where 93% of New Year’s resolutions come to die. I mean, can you honestly admit to not having fallen off the wagon all year? If so then I’m super happy for you, you’re an incredible individual with astonishing willpower. For those of us living in a more realistic world though, this is where the line between strictly healthy food and cravings for chocolate starts to get a little bit blurred. As far as pizzas are conscerned though, this one isn’t too bad. It’s got some pretty undeniably healthy toppings. It’s where the cheese and yeasty bread crust come in that we start approaching that tipping point. But…

Raspberry Filled Chocolate Chip Cupcakes (Vegan)
I’m going to sound like a broken record, but……is it genuinely, actually, truly Friday already, for reals? This week was yet another blur that passed me without my permission. Why does this keep happening to me? I just realized that Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I haven’t even thought about it until today. Or yesterday actually, but same difference. Summer is almost halfway gone and it’s one of the best things about where I live. I feel like I’m constantly complaining about the seasonal differences of living in the Southern Hemisphere versus the Northern. It’s just hard to get used to bright sun and warm breezes replacing your Christmas snow,…
