Raspberry Chocolate Chip Crunchy PB&J Bars (Vegan+GF)
Peanut Butter Jelly Time! Peanut Butter Jelly! Peanut Butter Jelly Time…… Are you guys as happy it’s the weekend as I am? At least tell me you’re ready for something super killer deliciously awesome because this one just couldn’t wait for a weekday. Definitely a weekend treat. I’m also excited that it’s Valentine’s Day this weekend because I’ve been loving the pink theme on my Instagram. It’s a bit of a cliché holiday, I know, but I like to have fun with it. So, going along with the theme I had the inspiration for these cookie bars with raspberry jelly and peanut butter and chocolate. PB&J is maybe not the most romantic of…

Mini Chocolate Chip Bundt Cakes (Vegan+GF)
It’s January so we’re making things a bit healthier and tryna be be good, ya know? These adorable little cakes are perfect for a healthy treat or snack with coffee. They are simple to make and look so elegant when sprinkled with a little bit of powdered sugar. Before I get into this recipe though, can I point out something guys? So I started cooking and baking very young, I’ve been a food blogger for years, worked at restaurant for a good minute, (serving and working in the kitchen), worked in a bakery, and I’ve been vegan for about 3 years. Maybe that much familiarity with food and ingredients gives me an advantage…

Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff (Vegan+GF)
There really is nothing like comfort foods to get through the grey months after the holiday season is over. If you’re anything like me January is a very sad month after all the excitement of December. It’s pretty drab where I live in Northern Idaho right now. I can usually count on at least having a white blanket of snow to brighten these months that seem so long. While I don’t like having to drive in snow it does improve my mood in the Winter. This year seems determined to be fickle and throw all kinds of weather at us. Earlier this week we had the craziest wind storm. Downtown Coeur d’ Alene…

Chocolate Cherry Almond Scones (Vegan+GF)
Well, I think we can agree that we never thought 2020 would actually end. Although, the joke is kind of on us since 2021 is starting out to look pretty similar. But we’re not going to talk about that. Let’s talk about these delicious scones. I’ve been working at a bakery part time for a while now and we bake so many flavors of scones. I always end up thinking about how I haven’t made a scone recipe in ages and how many flavors of scones that I would like to try. My favorite part of coming up with recipes is that I can go to the ingredients I have on hand and…

Chocolate Coated Pumpkin Spice Cups (Vegan+GF)
I can’t believe how quickly this month has passed by. I’m struggling to keep up with the season because the area I live in tends to switch between Summer and Winter and forget all about Autumn. We just had a record breaking first snow and I’m loving the beauty but also…..like seriously? I really wanted more Autumn. I feel jipped. 😐 Anyway, it’s making think about Christmas season and we’re not even to Halloween yet. Don’t worry, I’ll reign in my obsessive love of Christmas for at least a few more weeks. ;P Despite it feeling like Winter here already, I’m still in the mood for pumpkin spice everything. I was trying to…

Pumpkin Spice Granola (Vegan+GF)
Guys, guys, omg I’m just really excited Autumn is here! So this year hasn’t exactly given us much to look forward to but over my dead body is 2020 going to ruin the Holiday season for me. You feel me? Okay, this granola is probably my new favorite and that’s saying something because I make granola pretty often. Baking anything and everything with pumpkin and spices is always the quickest way to get into the Autumn mood. The only thing I’m slightly disappointed that I didn’t do with this recipe is add some pecans or walnuts. I just didn’t have any on hand because I’d already used them all. I mean, it’s…

Broccoli & Cashew Pesto Pasta (Vegan+GF)
How is it already getting into September? And how is it that this year seems to be taking forever and yet flying by all at the same time?? It’s definitely a strange year and I think we can all agree it hasn’t been the easiest. Making meals at home is definitely a form of therapy for me that helps to get through hard times. I’ve especially enjoyed my time in my own kitchen since my schedule makes that a more rare thing right now than it used to be. This pesto pasta is something that I made a recently when I was craving some comfort food. Pesto is one of those foods that…
