Crunchy Maple Cinnamon Pecan Cereal (Vegan+GF)
It’s another cereal recipe. What, what! You’re probably thinking, why would you make cereal when you can just go out and buy it? Well my friend I’m so glad you asked. I am so glad you asked. Okay, I don’t know about you, but I have this major love for cereals and granola. In fact, it’s very nearly an addiction. If it’s crispy, toasty, sweet and flavorful I’m hooked. Oh, and if you add a hint of salty to the equation I’m a goner. Do you think there’s a support group for this? CAD (cereal addicts anonymous) maybe? I’m telling you, it’s dangerous for me to have too much around. The funniest…

Roasted New Potato & Arugula Salad
Happy Monday guys, I finally had a little time to do some recipe planning and cooking and I’ve got one of them to share today. Last week after I got home from Cali was such a whirlwind. I mean, I really enjoyed being busy and then skiing over the weekend because the season is getting close to over and it might be one of the last times. The fact that we’re getting a ton of snow now has us all surprise/not surprised because we had those few weeks at the beginning of the month where all the snow was melting off and we were wondering about an early Spring. Apparently that’s too good…

5-Ingredient Raw Energy Bites 5 Ways (Vegan+GF)
Hey, how was your weekend? Did you do something fun and exciting? Whatever the case, I hope it was delicious. I spent the weekend working on some recipes and one of those recipes was this one. Alright, about this recipe -> So you start out with a really simple base recipe that then can be made into any of these flavors, isn’t that great? Yeah, and there are only 5 main ingredients! Okay, then I guess if you want to get technical each flavor has 1 or 2 little extras to make them even better, but the point is that you only need the 5 main ingredients and the rest is optional based…

Holiday Cookie Week #2: Romance Cookie Bars (Pecan Pie Bars)
I actually enjoyed my Monday this week. Does that make me a total weirdo? It was mostly because I had a jam-packed weekend with back to back company on top of some blog planning and recipe testing so I was in the kitchen even more than usual. We’re talking sun up to sun down, and the days are at their longest here so that’s a long time. It’s not that there aren’t plenty of people around to help with things, there are, but you know what they say about too many cooks and soup. I need to get better at it, but I don’t always work cohesively with others #ControlFreak. Well, it’s that,…

Holiday Cookie Week #1: Snowy Butterball Cookies
So last week I did gift ideas, but this week it’s cookie time peoples! Which conveniently, cookies also make wonderful gifts too so it’s basically a win win situation all the way around. I’m starting off with one of the classics. These devious little puffs of deliciousness operate under multiple aliases but my crazy clan has always called them butterballs. You may know them as snowballs, Mexican wedding cookies, Russian tea cakes, or Italian wedding cookies, but me, I can’t seem to call them anything else. To me they’ll always be butterballs. Okay, obviously everybody and their great-aunt Ruth has a recipe for these cookies but I just really felt like I should have…

Magic Bar Inspired Baklava (Magic Bar-klava) (Vegan)
I was so happy to find that I had a few extra hours the other day to do with whatever I wanted. Anyone know the feeling? It’s kind of like Christmas (which, am I the only that’s freaking out a little about how close that is?) So what did this crazy girl do with those hours. Well, that disaster area that was my closet a few days ago, yeah, I finally organized it and put all the cold weather clothes away and pulled out my capris and t-shirts cause it’s heating up and it’s long past time for them. I found a few summer items I bought last year that still have tags because I…

Chewy Butter Pecan Cookies (Vegan)
Dear Friday, thank you for helping us get through the week in hopes that you will bring us chocolate….. ….and for being the beginning of our weekend spent entirely in pajamas…..with coffee and blankets! If you could figure out how to make yourself last longer we would all appreciate it very much, and even forgive you for the times you feel like raining on us or failing to include tacos. In addition to lasting longer, coming a bit sooner would be extremely amiable as well. P.S. I think Monday needs an attitude adjustment, just sayin’. Â Best regards –Â How was your week? Mine was good, a little bit crazy and I still have…
