Sweet Rainier Cherry Pie (Vegan)
Who wants some pie? Just in case you missed what I just said, we’re making cherry pie! Okay, so here’s the deal, I made this pie the other day because I couldn’t help myself. The weather finally feels like summer and I couldn’t resist the temptation to use some of the huge amounts of fruit that are in season right now. I seem to be obsessed with fruit lately. The Summer season brings a lot of people to the town where I live so the air just has an extra layer of excitement and celebration. It’s just kinda fun living in a sought after tourist destination. Of course, then I’m…

PB&J Granola Parfaits (Vegan+GF)
Tell me if you can relate to this. I love to cook for people and I love to make huge, elaborate meals for big groups and I’ll spend hours in the kitchen. When I’m cooking for just me though, I’m not even willing to get a bowl out of the cabinet to put food in sometimes. I’ll literally just eat random stuff out of a box or grab something that requires zero prep. My roomies make fun of me and say I eat like a savage sometimes and they’re not wrong. Haha, I think years of food blogging has ruined my civilized kitchen habits. But again, the moment I have…

Cinnamon Banana Bread Oat Waffles (Vegan+GF)
Is there anything more beautiful than a huge plate of waffles? Nothing is coming to mind so we’re just gonna go with no. I have this problem where I always buy way too many bananas at once and they all ripen at the same time. I think a lot of people have the same problem which is probably how banana bread got invented. Before making these I had I thought about making banana bread but then realized I hadn’t used my mini waffles maker in a long time. To be honest, it’s not the most convenient thing if you’re making waffles for more than one person because it takes foreeeeeeeever…

Berry Orange Blended Oats (Vegan+GF)
I love it when I discover some new food idea that I’ve never heard of before. It’s especially great when it’s easy and/or healthy and I have all the ingredients to try it. This is one of those times. Okay, have you ever heard of blended oats? I came across the idea on pinterest recently and it was one of those mind-blown moments. I don’t know why I’ve never thought of it before. It’s not complicated at all. The texture is like a slightly grainy yogurt and the flavor is super versatile. For this recipe I added fresh berries and whole oranges but you could honestly use any type…

Cinnamon Banana Bread Baked Oats (Vegan+GF)
How’s your Spring going so far? I’m pretty sure we all imagined our year going completely different a few months ago. I just found out that gyms won’t be opening in our state for about 3 more weeks! I’m seriously going to just die, I miss the gym SOOOOO badly. Yes, working out at home is fine, but there are so many reasons I love going somewhere else to workout. It’s a mood. Anyway, I’m over here trying to distract myself by creating recipes and taking way too many photos of food. So I know we’ve all heard a million times how healthy oats are. I know that for a…

Blackberry Activated Charcoal Smoothie Bowl (Vegan+GF)
I’m back from Hawaii but I’m still craving all the fruit. So charcoal in a smoothie, health benefit or aesthetic benefit? Let’s be real, it’s both. Ever since I started taking food photos I’ve definitely loved jumping on any visually captivating health trends. It’s not just for looks though. Charcoal has a lot of reasons to be consumed aside from it’s striking color. I remember my mom using it when my youngest sister was born because it’s great for helping relieve gas in infants. Another benefit, it’s great at filtering toxins. Have you ever used one of those nifty water-filtering pitchers, yeah well those have charcoal in them. It has…

Plant-Powered Oat Protein Bars (Vegan+GF)
Okay, tell me if you do this too…. You’re walking down the protein bar aisle slightly holding your breath because you’re so hoping that the one or two brands that aren’t complete trash happen to be on sale. Then you check the price and realize that even if they were on sale they’re still a little pricey for you to be buying on a regular basis. Then you console yourself by realizing that unless you’re traveling or extremely short on time they really aren’t the best option. Am I the only one? Maybe it’s just me. I do know that there are some really delicious options for making protein packed…
