Brown Butter Caramel Snickers Cookie Bars (Vegan)
Hey, Hey, HEY! I’ve got something to help you guys get over the mid-week slump so obviously that means chocolate is involved! Oh, and guess what? We got new puppies last weekend! I want to share some pics later this week so I was going to wait to tell you, but I just couldn’t. They are absolutely adorables you guys! You may remember me mentioning a while back when we got our first two Great Pyrenees pups. No? Well, if not then now you know and I guess it has been a long time now. Whoa, actually now that I think about it it’s been a year and a half! Those two boys…

Tiki Bars! Nutty Tropical Fruit Granola Bars (Vegan + GF)
Hey guys!, So tell me, how was your weekend? Did you do anything fun and exciting for daddy day? Oh, and can you even believe that it’s already summer/winter?!?!? I feel like someone is skipping calendar pages or something. I’m not gonna lie though, I’m really excited to be entering a new season, even if winter is my least favorite one from down here where I live. Things have slowed down a lot for me these last few weeks and my days have been feeling kind of squished and strung together in monotonous tedium. It’s only because there isn’t much going on this time of year but the repetitive routine is starting to…

Cookies and Cream Chocolate Pop-Tarts
You know those childhood cartoons where the characters have a goody-goody angel voice and the naughty, not-so-angelic, one fighting on their shoulders? What, didn’t you ever watch Tom and Jerry growing up? Well, I’d love to tell you that my metaphorical inner angel voice won out this time guys, but………then there were these pop-tarts and um……………yeah. In brainstorming over this idea I’d considered just making my pop-tarts inspired by milk’s favorite cookies, but I kind of didn’t want to just stop there. I also felt like there should be some actual sandwich cookies going into these at the same time. So basically, these are an oreo version of a pop-tart since you’ve got…

Strawberry (Ridiculously) Tall Mini Cakes (Vegan)
I’m taking a little break from my seasonal reality and dreaming of Spring flowers and Summer picnics today. It’s getting so close to the first day of being technically Winter here and that means a ton of rain. I’m not gonna lie though, complain as I might about the fact that we don’t get snow here, I’m feeling pretty grateful right about now for the more mild temperatures of living where we do and its relation to sea level. Yeah, like I just pointed out, it’s not even winter yet and I’m already getting ready for it to get warm again. I have to tell you, summers in Patagonia are the best! But I…

Chocolate Glazed Cream Filled Doughnuts
Do you have any idea how many puns can be made about doughnuts? There are at yeast more than you can overlook or glaze over. You probably doughnut even want to know! Ha, sorry but did I mention how for some reason my peeps have been in a punny mood recently? Especially Liv, I think she’s about to drive everyone crazy with the way she’s been cranking them out. On a side note, I really need to just confess to you guys that I was looking at my recent recipes the other day and I realized that there’s been a serious lack of healthy-er/ish recipes going on. If you could see my face…

Layered Fiesta Taco Bowls with Vegan “Bacon” Bits
I’ve got a question to ask, am I the only one who had never even heard of “bacon” made from plants until recently! Well if not, it’s totally a thing guys! Facon exists!!! At first I was averse to the whole idea and completely on team You can’t even go there! Even as a young kid I never liked bacon so I was pretty skeptical. That is, of course, until I tried the stuff. Omg peeps, it’s insane! So about these bowls, I know “bacon” may not be the most typical thing to add to your tacos, or in this case taco bowls, but I was surprised by how much it works. A few bites of these…

Blueberry Filled Mini Pavlovas (Meringue Nests)
……and they’re just in time for Easter, are they not? This lovely little treat has been on the list of things that I want to try for way too long because, every time I’ve wanted to actually make it, I keep getting caught in the indecision of whether to make a huge one or to make it in minis. As you can see I finally stopped messing around and just did it, decided on the minis. I could have left it at calling these ‘meringues’ but the truth is that I kind of just wanted to say Pavlova. Try it, it’s so much fun to say; Pavlova, Pavlova, Pavlova! Of course I can’t say…
