Vietnamese Bahn Mi Bowls (Vegan+GF)
I’m trying to figure out why our Summer here seems to have gone on vacation. The weather forecast for this week is cold and rainy even though it’s freaking July. I guess it’s better than the alternative of scorching heat, but it’s kinda depressing. What’s not depressing though, is this recipe…. Ok, before you say anything, I’m completely aware that this bowl doesn’t make a huge amount of sense. Bahn mi actually means “bread” in Vietnamese so not having bread is a kind of like missing the point and insulting this Vietnamese classic. In case you haven’t noticed, I don’t do well with rules and I just don’t feel like following any when…

Cinnamon Oat Vegan Banana Bread Waffles (Gluten Free)
Is there anything more beautiful than a huge plate of vegan banana bread waffles? Nothing is coming to mind so we’re just gonna go with no. This post is all about the best vegan banana bread waffles 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 Waffle Maker in a long time. To be honest, it’s not the most convenient thing if you’re…

Un-fried Veggie Stir-Fry Rice (Vegan+GF)
Is it finally almost over, the craziness? This year has been anything but expected and I’m sure we’re all eager to return to whatever “normal” we left behind a few months ago. On the upside, I’ve definitely been able to spend more time on the blog than I could’ve imagined. I haven’t created so many recipes in a long time. I’ve actually been trying to look at this situation in the best, most positive light. I feel very fortunate to be in a position where I can work from home during all of this. Yes, I’ve missed socializing with friends and I’ll be very happy to get that back, but this time has…

Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan+GF)
So um, If I ever stop coming up with variations of a chocolate chip cookie you’ll know my body’s been inhabited by aliens or something. Hey, I can’t help it, there’re just so many ways you can recreate this classic treat. That, and I really just love taking photos of them. What can I say? They’re very aesthetic. Okay why would you do a deep dish cookie you might be wondering? Seriously though, is anyone actually wondering that? Hello melty pools of chocolate that can acceptably be eaten with a spoon, double the thick and chewy texture and gooey center, and then there’s always the option to throw some ice cream on top!…

Cheesy Broccoli “Cheddar” Pizza (Vegan+GF)
Happy whatever today is. Is this mess of a month over yet? Okay, well maybe some homemade pizza will help us get through. Ever since I’ve been plant-based I’ve discovered that there are a few standard questions to expect when talking about it with others. Numero uno; “Where do you get your protein?”. Second; “Don’t you miss cheese? I mean bacon tho!?!?”. Third; “Is your whole family vegan?” All of which send me into a fit of laughter, especially three. Let’s just say that I’m the only one in my family who eats this way and they all basically think I’m crazy even though I’m very happy about it. So I was informed…

Double Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies (Vegan+GF)
I’m trying to keep in mind that each day of this continued isolation brings us one day closer to it being over. It helps a little, but gyms are still closed along with everything else. On the bright side I’ve been hiking and making time for lots of things I wouldn’t usually do. Also, I think I might be spending even more time in the kitchen than usual if that’s even possible. If anything can help brighten the mood these days, it’s baking anything with chocolate. Cookies being probably the best choice in my personal opinion. Please tell me you love chocolate hazelnut butter as much as I do because these cookies…
