Chocolate & Coconut Pumpkin Brownies
It’s been a while since I shared a brownie recipe hasn’t it? Well, it’s time to change that for sure. I was scrolling through some of my really old recipes the other day and realizing that I’ve never made a completely vegan brownie. I’ve tried tons of variations but I don’t think I’ve ever taken on the challenge of creating a good one before. For these I used some pumpkin for texture and to help keep them on the healthier side of things. I know, you’re probably like “How could you defile a perfectly good browine with veggies!” :O Honestly though, these might surprise you by how good they are without a ton…

Chocolate Oats & Maple Cut-Out Cookies (Vegan+GF)
Easter is approaching fast isn’t it? My sis was telling me about these particular cookies that she’d gotten from a local bakery while I was away traveling. Apparently they were memorable because she still has been asking me to recreate them. The way she described them was that they’re just your basic shortbread cookie, but with that bakery vanilla flavor and a chocolate dip that makes them so good. While I’m definitely going to make her some just like that, I was inspired by her talking about it to try making a little bit of a healthier version. You know, because sweets have a time and place, but it’s good to throw in…

Blueberry White Chocolate Almond Oatmeal Cookies
It’s a little bit strange getting back to being in the kitchen after many days away and traveling. As most of you know, I’ve been in San Diego for the past week. Ironically enough, my father had booked tickets to a concert in Spokane the day I returned so it feels like even longer since I’ve been back to my typical daily routine. I’m not going to lie, it’s been really nice to get a change of scenery. On the other hand, I do like a little routine to help me stay more productive, so a mixture of the two is perfect. Another nice thing about traveling this time of year is escaping…

Pumpkin Spice Latte Baked Oatmeal
Hello again, my lovely friends! Wow, October is flashing by and I’ve yet to make enough pumpkin recipes to meet what I’d consider to be a bare minimum as a food blogger. My brother-in-law is so humored by the fact that everything turns pumpkin in September that he took pictures of all the pumpkin products he found on his last grocery shopping trip with my sister. He found SO many too so it’s been a family joke recently how many things marketers convert to pumpkin. Hey, I’m loving it with no complaints. (By the way, has anyone found seasonal flavors of peanut butter around North Idaho????) I guess it’s not that awesome if…

Raspberry Pomegranate Overnight Oats (Vegan+GF)
Okay guys, I think I found a new favorite way to eat oats. Before I get to the recipe though, how was your weekend? Did you do anything really fun or make any funny memories. Even if you just spent it with people you love it would be a good weekend in my opinion. So my weekend was great but the saddest thing happened. My camera’s SD card was apparently cracked without my knowledge and when I tried to pull it out of my laptop it jammed and a side piece of plastic it broke off inside. The bad news is that pulling it out pretty much destroyed my laptops SD card reader…

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…

Chia Oat Banana Pancakes (Vegan & Gluten Free)
I have something healthy to share today guys!!! Let’s talk about banana pancakes. They’re a huge staple in the frequented recipe department, or at least they are in my house. Liv told me she was craving them a few days ago and after thinking about it I realized that, not only has it been way too long since I posted a pancakes recipe, but I’ve NEVER shared one for banana pancakes! How is that even possible? They are such a go-to when we’ve got too many ripe nanners and I’m feeling unimaginative or just needing some serious comfort food. What have been doing with my life? I mean, good grief, Jack Johnson even…
