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…

Cranberry Lemon No-Bake Granola Bars (Vegan+GF)
I don’t think you can ever have too many snack ideas in your arsenal to fight against getting hangry. After making that last post about lunch box ideas I got a lot of great feedback that you guys loved these kind of ideas. I find it really helpful even for myself to sometimes embrace simplistic ways of cooking. Or in this case, not cooking. Anyway, did you have a favorite snack bar as a kid? When I think about this a lot of things come to mind, especially chocolate things. Well, while I totally love me a good chocolate chip granola bar, I also occasionally crave something a little more tart and refreshing like…

Crunchy Quinoa Walnut Granola (No Added Sugar)
You knew this already, but granola is totally my jam. I love the crunchy, nutty texture and the fact that everything you throw into it becomes like a beautiful piece of a delicious puzzle once it’s baked. You can mix and match flavors so that every time you make it you get a brand new thing. The things I love don’t stop there though, that’s just what you can put into granola. I didn’t even begin to cover the world of possibilities for what you can put the granola into, which is basically everything. Tell me, have you ever tried granola on a salad? Well, if not you’re missing out. Bae my friend, it’s bae.…

Chocolate Hazelnut Granola Orange Yogurt Bowl
If only I had a dime for every yogurt bowl I’ve ever had…….. I’m always excited to share a new recipe, but when it’s one this close to my heart I have a special excitement. Before I get to that though, quick question; how do you feel about shopping? Malls and department stores really aren’t a place I frequent. I’m being completely honest when I say that shopping has never been my thing. Like, I’m not the type of girl to spend tons of money on new clothes, shoes, or anything else that I don’t really need and there are certain stores I even dread having to go into. Actually, when I do…

Quick & Easy Go-to Snacks I Love (Vegan)
What I wanna know is who needs some weekend snack-spiration my friends? Because, I’m bringing it today! If you caught my last post you’ll know I’ve been moving this week. Guys, moving can be really stressful (and I should know since I’ve done it about a zillion times over the past few years), and sometimes you need faster options for food. It’s not just moving that get’s hectic though, I mean life can be crazy for so many reasons. Anything from school season, traveling, busy workweeks, or just everyday life, can have you needing a quick bite and making poor choices. I’m showing you a few ideas today to keep in mind next…

Chocolate Coated Nuts and Seeds Granola Bars (Vegan+GF)
Well, it has definitely been a busy week so far. I’ve been planning, cooking, planning to cook, and even planning to plan. That last one doesn’t always work out with all the different variables that inevitably change whatever I may have attempted to plan but I keep trying anyway. We’ve had some birthdays, some family events, and then this weekend we’re having a gathering with a pretty large group of friends for the evening. Of course you can’t have a good party if it doesn’t involve some good food and you know I love any opportunity to make extra special things so I’m planning for that too. All of that and then we…

Kiwi Mango Chia Pudding Parfaits + Stovetop Cashew Granola (Vegan + GF)
I’ve discovered that it’s pretty hard to mess up any recipe revolving around fruit and granola. In the past I’ve made chia pudding a few times but, moment of complete honesty here, the texture isn’t for everyone. Hey, but I’ve got good news if you feel the same way about it, you can blend it up like magic into a super creamy smooth pudding that you’d never guess was dairy free! When I did this I got two thumbs up from everyone, so to blend or not to blend is totally up to you. All right, the texture of chia pudding may or may not be your thing, but Stovetop granola you guys,…
