Fettuccine Alfredo Primavera Pasta (Vegan+GF)
I think I have officially topped myself on easiest meals ever! Okay, I guess I should clarify that. If you were planning to hit a drive-through or pop a frozen dinner in the microwave then that is technically going to be an easier dinner. When I say easy I mean by the standard of someone who makes almost everything from scratch. I made this in under 45 minutes and it’s highly improvable! I just really wanted to make a pasta recipe that still had lots of veggies and flavor, but didn’t dirty every dish in the kitchen. You know? Granted, this still uses a handful of dishes, but I guess I just really…

Simple Fresh Strawberry Turnovers (Vegan)
Simple. Fresh. Easy. These words are what I’m feeling today should be. I’m going to keep things short, sweet, and simple. I spend way too much time these days feeling rushed and crammed trying to get everything done. I started this blog as a creative outlet and something to fill up my extra time. Oh boy, does it fill up the time, but the point is that it is supposed to be fun. Being in the kitchen and creating delicious, sometimes crazy, always messy foods for the people I love is something that makes me happy and I love to share that with you guys. But recently I’ve been starting to dread writing posts…

Swirly Brown Sugar Cinnamon Roll Cookies (Vegan)
Is there anything better than a big doughy cinnamon roll? It’s hard to say, but at the moment I’m failing to think of anything. The problem with cinnamon rolls is that they require a bit of planning ahead and sometimes you just haven’t done that when a craving hits. Like those moments when you just have to have a cinnamon roll immediately or you may die. Does that happen to you too? Well, you see, that’s what I’m here for, to solve these urgent problems in life. Does that mean that I plan to save the world one cookie at a time? Maybe it does. Don’t judge. It’s a perfectly good plan, even if…

Blackberry BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Sandwiches+Cilantro Pepper Slaw (Vegan+GF)
If that’s not a mouthful of a title then I don’t know what is. I couldn’t decide what to name this recipe as there is so much going on here. Okay, at some point I have to stop always trying to convince you to make something that I have made and received rave reviews about. However…..this is not that day. I am about to do everything I can to persuade you to make these sandwiches! This is one of those rare recipes that comes together in my mind with ease. Pure inspiration that leads to a finished product that I feel almost guilty taking any credit for because it was just too easy.…

Irish “Cheddar” Potato Soup (Vegan+GF)
Are you feeling lucky today? I’m feeling pretty lucky but it has more to do with deliciousness than leprechauns and clovers. I have to say that I’ve never really gotten the whole St. Patrick’s day thing but it is fun to have a theme to go with. So what exactly makes this soup Irish? Um, actually I don’t know. I mean, it’s got potatoes so doesn’t that automatically make it count. Hmmm, that sounds kind of discriminating. I bet the Irish get annoyed by everyone thinking they live on potatoes. I’ve live in Idaho for years now and I can’t tell you how many people have asked me if we ate a lot…

The BEST Vegan Boston Cream Pie
This is the only recipe for VEGAN Boston cream pie that you will ever need my friends!!! Isn’t it a beautiful thing? I think it’s a beautiful thing if I do say so myself. Hey, I don’t get credit for how pretty smooth chocolate ganache looks all on its own. I only post recipes after they have been approved by my loyal gang of quality control taste-testers (AKA my family and friends). This recipe has been thoroughly tested and repeated a few times now. It’s a definite keeper. Why is a Boston Cream Pie Called a “Pie”? You may have wondered why they call it Boston cream “pie” when it is actually a…

Chai Latte Doughnut with Vanilla Bean Icing (Vegan)
It’s finally Friday again, Yes! I hope you are in the mood for some doughnuts (or is it donuts? what’s the difference?)! Ha! I say that like it’s possible to not be in the mood for a doughnut. What a ridiculous notion. The weather has been pretty cool and rainy recently and I’ve been on a tea kick. Chai tea. The entire first year we have lived here in Chile I was never able to find chai at the stores (sad face). I know it can be made at home but I’m the only one in my family who likes to drink it and I hate making things specifically for me so I’ve…
