Goji Berry Banana Chia Breakfast Jars (Vegan+GF)
So we finally had an almost sunny day yesterday and I’m so hopeful that it means all the Spring feels are finally going to start soon. Honestly, can we just get a little sunshine around here??? Well the weather is making me really miss the flowers. That was actually one of my favorite things about the house we lived in in Chile, the backyard had so many varieties of flowers that bloomed all through the spring and summer season. It probably got me a little to be spoiled to using them in my food photography and even sometimes in recipes. Did you know most flowers are edible? I know the area I…

Mint Chocolate Chip Avocado Mousse Cups (Vegan+GF)
Ok, so I’m officially sick of being sick this year. This past week I caught a case of the flu, on my birthday actually, so yeah that was wonderful. I’d planned to share this recipe a little sooner so that it would be live in time for you guys to make it for St Patrick’s Day, but as you can see I’m a little late. But hey, who says you can’t do mint chocolate flavored treats all year long? So if you’re a little skeptical about how a combination like this could work and not be gross, no worries, I was right there with you until the first time I tried avocado mousse…

Strawberries+Cream Fudge Brownie Trifle (Vegan)
Happy weekend my peeps, and it couldn’t have come at a better time I think. Any fun plans? My schedule will probably involve lots of packing and planning for San Diego. It wasn’t part of the original trip plans but it looks like I’ll be in Cali for Valentine’s Day this year. Ironically I was in London for this past Halloween so maybe I’m starting a bit of a self-trend to be abroad during holidays. Hey, that’s totally fine with me for any holiday with the possible exception of Christmas (because you guys know I’m a Christmas freak and I couldn’t imagine not being home for the holidays) I’ll gladly take traveling…

Raspberry Lemon Cream Shortbread Cookie Trifles (Vegan)
Sophie came running through the house the other day nearly screaming in excitement “Our cat had a kitten! Our cat had a KITTEN!” At 8-years-old we’ve all learned that it’s not uncommon for her to be a mistaken on matters like this so I wasn’t sure whether or not to take her seriously. How many times has she nearly been eaten alive by a spider that turned out to be a dust bunny? As it turns out though, our young cat actually did have a kitten and she’s been hiding it very well. Do you remember me telling you when we thought she was pregnant? Well, she went from being fat to looking…

Almond Joy Pudding Parfaits & Coconut Sable Cookie Dippers
Can I spend just a second to discuss how much I love food that’s layered in pretty little jars and glasses? It’s just way more fun. Something about a bunch of yummy ingredients with contrasting flavors and textures coming together in one dish is way more exciting than if you were to eat each thing separately. Although, if you were one of those kids that got freaked out about your peas touching your mashed potatoes than you may disagree with me on this. As much as I hate to say it, I don’t think we can work out as friends because there’s simply no way I’m backing down on my position here. Jar…

Banana Pudding & Homemade Vanilla Wafer Cookies (Vegan)
I think this is very possibly going to require you to go and dig out your fat pants and maybe even practice your pudding dance. Just a thought…… I’m kind of hoping that you’re all just here for the food though, because I honestly don’t have a lot of words today. That’s a common thing that happens to me when I’m sharing something as classic as this dessert is. Banana pudding pretty much speaks for itself, don’t you think? I mean, it would be like introducing you to someone who you’re already good friends with to tell you much about it. Like really, what is there to say about banana pudding that hasn’t already…

Mango & Young Dried Coconut Granola Breakfast Parfaits (Vegan+GF)
See, I can actually make food that is somewhat healthy……….every once in a while. I thought with it being Monday we should probably start out the week with something good for us, you know? Then maybe we’ll feel less guilty if we decide to indulge in something decadent at the end of it. It’s like saving up good-behavior stickers in kindergarten for a weekend prize. Although, I’m not sure this quite makes the list of perfectly healthy foods because, well look at it. How can you not feel a little indulgent when you’re eating these layers of fruity, crunchy, sweet happiness? I’ve been in the mood for lots of fresh and summery stuff the last…
