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.…

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…

Cinnamon Banana Bread Oat Waffles (Vegan+GF)
Is there anything more beautiful than a huge plate of waffles? Nothing is coming to mind so we’re just gonna go with no. 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 waffles maker in a long time. To be honest, it’s not the most convenient thing if you’re making waffles for more than one person because it takes foreeeeeeeever…

Berry Orange Blended Oats (Vegan+GF)
I love it when I discover some new food idea that I’ve never heard of before. It’s especially great when it’s easy and/or healthy and I have all the ingredients to try it. This is one of those times. Okay, have you ever heard of blended oats? I came across the idea on pinterest recently and it was one of those mind-blown moments. I don’t know why I’ve never thought of it before. It’s not complicated at all. The texture is like a slightly grainy yogurt and the flavor is super versatile. For this recipe I added fresh berries and whole oranges but you could honestly use any type…

Roasted Garlic & Mushroom Farfalle Pasta (Vegan)
This has got to be one of the best ways ever to do pasta! So let’s talk pasta! Please tell me that you have all had the chance to eat at The Cheesecake Factory at least once??? When I was a kid it was one of my family’s favorite restaurants. We don’t have one near us now so I haven’t been in years, but when we used to eat there my mom and I both loved this one dish they had. Their bowtie pasta with this yummy roasted garlic cream sauce that leaves you wanting to keep going back in for more even when you’re stuffed to your limit. It…

Frosted Maple Pecan Bars (Vegan+GF)
It’s May already? How is it that when you’re waiting for something time seems to tick by so slowly, then you reach the date you’ve been waiting for and it seems to have flown by? Time is such a strange thing. Well, it’s finally here and I know for many places it’s sort of the threshold for slowly returning to “normal” life. So obviously these last many weeks have given us all some fresh perspective and given a chance to do things we wouldn’t usually do. Personally, I’ve been able to catch up on a million little blog tasks that I’ve been putting off. One of those was to finish…

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…
