Chocolate Chip French Toast Muffins (Vegan+GF)
Am I the only one who hates seeing the perfectly good bread heels go in the trash? Well, if you’re with me on this then you’ll be extra excited about this recipe because it’s a perfect way to use them and any stale bread for that matter. Don’t worry though, if bread waste isn’t a problem for you this recipe can be made with fresh bread also. As for the chocolate chips, they can be replaced with a bunch of different things. Whether you just don’t like chocolate with cinnamon, have an allergy, or are following a low fat diet there are plenty of other options. I personally love the chocolate but if…

Veggie Grain Bowls with Crispy “Parm” Roasted Chickpeas & Aji Ranch (Vegan+GF)
Anyone else craving some wholesome goodness? I’ve been so inspired recently by all of the pretty and healthy bowls that everyone has been making. All of the modern, hip food bloggers are doing them. There are a bunch of different names for them; buddha bowls, nourish bowls, quinoa bowls, there’s even the smoothie bowls going on. Basically, everything is in bowls and if it’s not then you aren’t doing it right. My main goal for this recipe was to keep things really simple and I even took some optional short-cuts/cheats for my own bowls. The first step is to make the “parm” chickpeas which are way easier to make than you might think.…

Homemade Almond Milk + Video (Vegan+GF)
I think it’s pretty safe to say there are a lot of options for plant-based milks on the market today. You’ve got oat milk, cashew milk, rice, soy, pistachio, hazelnut, hemp, and the list goes on and on……… So, why then, would you want to go to the effort of making your own? I mean, if you haven’t seen all the hilarious memes of desperate people spending all their time “milking” almonds every morning then what are you doing with your life? (Google it if you want a laugh 😉 ) But anyway, there are actually tons of reasons that you might want to make your own. Firstly, the taste is so much…

Healthier Oatmeal Cream Pies (Vegan+GF)
So were you a fan of Little Debbie’s famous cream pies as a kid? I liked them but I could never figure out how I really felt about them because they were obviously not healthy at all. On the other hand though, you sort of felt like they should be because they were oatmeal, you know? That’s pretty much what this recipe is doing. I mean, they could be a lot worse but I’ll be honest and admit they’re not exactly the “healthiest” choice. They’re just a healthier alternative. I just figured that if I was going to share a fresh treat this January it should at least pretend to be healthy, right?…

Simple Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers (Vegan+GF)
There are nights when you crave a cozy soup……and then there are times when you just need a burger! I’ve really been into simplifying things recently. I mean, life is complicated enough without adding to it, you know? These veggie burgers definitely fit the bill because they’re about as basic as it gets. They’re great for making ahead for the week as well. I remember the first time I heard of a veggie burger as a kid and the first thing I thought of was a regular burger piled with vegetables. When I found out that you could make burgers out of things like squash, beans, and other vegetables I was super intrigued…

The BEST Pumpkin Pancakes and Maple Nut Butter Spread (Vegan+GF)
These just might be the BEST pumpkin pancakes ever. Oh, look at that, I mentioned that in the title. 😉 I’ve been really loving oats lately so I decided these would highly feature oats to make them healthy. This post is all about the best pumpkin pancakes recipe. During the Summer I felt like I could eat allllllll the fruit but the moment the weather shifted all I’ve wanted are warm foods. Now plain old oats can seem really boring to some people, and that’s okay. However, if you want to get the best of both worlds by eating your healthy oats and doing it in a way you love, make oatmeal pancakes!…

Harvest Time Apple & Pumpkin Chili (Vegan+GF)
Please tell me you’re week needs some delicious comfort right about now because, if so, this is exactly what you need! How do you feel about chili? To me it always seems like chili is one of those meals that doesn’t get appreciated enough. I don’t get it, it’s so homey and chock full of flavors, oh, and you can load it with so many good things like guacamole and eat it with cornbread, YUM!. Plus, it’s versatile and you can do so many things with it (Hello chili-cheese fries!), what’s not to love? I have to tell you, even within my own family chili isn’t the most popular. I mean, everyone will…
