Loaded Sweet Potato Chili Cheese Fries (Vegan+GF)
Okay, major confession time…… I’ve never made sweet potato fries before. Don’t judge, it’s just that most of the french fry lovers in my family claim to hate sweet potatoes so I’ve always felt it would be a pointless venture. But now there will be no going back. I’ve opened the door to homemade french frying and everyone knows that they can be done. Fact: there will be more fries happening, a lot of em, and very soon. I think that if regular potato fries went up against sweet potato fries in a competition to see which tastes better chili-cheesified, the latter would win hands down every time. Sorry regular tatos, we’ll still…

Homemade Snickers Bars (Vegan+GF)
It’s so bad you guys, I made something so bad……. With it being October I know we’re all seeing the grocery aisles filling with extra candy and you moms are being forced to play the bad guy more than usual when you have to limit or deny the requests to buy it all every time they ask. Not only do you not want too much around for the kids to be tempted by, but admit it, when no one’s around you know you’ll remember that whole bag of fun-sized pieces and that one less won’t be detectable. Okay, so these homemade versions of a classic aren’t exactly going on anyone’s healthy food pyramid…

Broccoli “Cheddar” Brown Rice Risotto (Vegan+GF)
I don’t think it’s possible to not be in the mood for cozy comfort food, it doesn’t matter what time of year it is. Even with it getting into Spring here, a big one-pot dish of warm and creamy happiness is always welcome, and I know it is for all of you going into Fall. My Aunt and cousin are still here and it’s been so great having them, but also extra busy. I’m getting better at busy, but I definitely still have a lot of room for improvement. We’re all having so much fun watching my aunt experience another culture. the first day she was here she put powdered sugar in her coffee…

Double Chocolate Chunk Zucchini Bread (Vegan+GF)
I just came out of my internet procrastination daze and had one of those oh-crud-I’m supposed-to-be-doing-something moments. Yep, those are the best aren’t they? So, I know it’s only Monday, I hope you all had a killer weekend by the way, but I thought I’d start off the week with a little bit of chocolate. Okay fine, a lot of it. Mondays just need loads of chocolate sometimes, you feel me? Hey, there are vegetables in this bread too, so I think that makes it completely acceptable as breakfast. True story. Although, the honest to goodness truth is that this is an luscious cake disguised behind it’s green veggie and loaf shaped facade. You know…

Chocolate Chip Banoffee Cake with Caramel Buttercream (Vegan)
Happy Friday peoples! It’s weekend time and that means bring it! Bring on the tons of sugar, and the truckloads of chocolate, and the vats of caramel, and the mountains of frosting….. Oh, and if it could all be in the form of a cake that would be awesome! I’m kinda freaking out a little bit here. I so many things to plan for and so many things I want to make, but I feel like I’m almost more unorganized at this moment then I’ve ever been. I made it a new years resolution at the beginning of this year to get things together, but apparently I wasn’t very resolute about my resolution…

Cocoa Peanut Mole Jackfruit & Cilantro Orange Rice (Vegan+GF)
Hey, great news is that the days have been consistently getting brighter, longer, and warmer. Yay, Spring is a commin! You are probably hoping I get to the food soon and not jabber all day so here it is. Mole is the topic I’m supposed to be typing about. Okay, and it’s pronounced (mo-lay) not (mol) like the underground mammals that destroy your lawn or the ugly growth on someones face that you try so unsuccessfully not to stare at. Mo-LAY, got it? Okay cool. So I don’t get credit for thinking up this one. Actually, this recipe is one of the things that my Mom used to make when I was growing…

Twinkie Clone Doughnuts (Vegan)
I’m going to be completely honest and admit it took me a lot of tries before I found the perfect frosting consistency that I wanted. Okay, but to get to the point here, Twinkie clone doughnuts. I’m sorry, let me repeat myself, Twinkie clone DOUHGNUTS! Yes!!!!! I think I missed my opportune window for Twinkie recipes when everyone was freaking out about Hostess going out of business and saying things like “we’ll never be able to eat them again!” I heard about people making hundreds of dollars per box on ebay. Who would pay that? People can be so ridiculous, right? So, I can only recall eating like two or three Twinkie in my…
