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…

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…

Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Smoothie (Vegan+GF)
Hey Loves, I hope you’re enjoying the start of the season and getting excited about all things pumpkin and spice! How was your weekend? Mine was spent doing some house cleaning (which I find kind of therapeutic sometimes believe it or not), going to a little Fall festival in Sandpoint, and then some shopping for my upcoming plans. I haven’t bought new clothes like this in a very long time so I had way too much fun trying it all on. I can hardly recognize myself because I can’t recall ever enjoying shopping like this. Clearly that’s changed because I must have tried on the entire store. Something else I…

Thai Peanut Quinoa Macro Bowls (Vegan+GF)
That moment when you write a great (long) post to share with your peoples and it all gets erased……….uh huh…….yeah. I’m so sorry guys but I literally just lost my entire post, thank you crappy internet connection! I mean I could just not mention it but I was already in a #KeepinItReal mood today, so I’m thinking this post is going to be pretty short and sweet now. I hope you guys don’t mind. In what I had written I talked and explained some things about this trip I keep bringing up. Well, instead of trying to remember everything I said I’m just going to shorten it down and tell you…

Golden Vanilla Cake + Chocolate Buttercream Frosting (Vegan)
Firstly, someone drank my entire cup of coffee, like what???? Secondly, please do not ask me who’s birthday it is/was. Seriously, you’d think my family would have figured out by now that I sometimes get the random urge to make an unnecessarily large, lovely, and delicious cake for absolutely no good reason at all. Yes, well apparently they haven’t because I think I got asked why I was making this cake about two dozen times by various people the day that I was working on it. So I actually did have a good reason to make it though, I felt it was a huge gap missing from my recipe list. I realized the…

Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese Pasta (Vegan+GF)
How about an easy dish for this Autumn evening’s dinner? Who doesn’t love mac and cheese, I mean c’mon? So I am planning to do everything I can to make my family sick of pumpkin spice and everything nice before the season is over. I love autumn and all it’s flavors and I spend the whole year wanting them. I just love the nostalgic tastes and smells. One of the amazing things about this time of year is all of the different squashes. A few of the smaller markets that I like to go to carry some really unique varieties. For this recipe I used a basic butternut squash but you can…

Pumpkin Pie French Toast & Kahlúa Vanilla Syrup (Vegan+GF)
Hey again, how were your weekends guys? Mine was pretty busy, but in a good way. Lots of cooking, obviously, because I don’t know what to do with myself otherwise. I also spent some time over this weekend doing some miscellaneous Spring cleaning things like organizing my spice cabinet. I’ve told you how they sell the spices here in these individual little pouches that are only enough to make you mad, right? It really kind of makes me crazy until I have the chance to organize like I just did. Then there was that other thing ………you know, what I mentioned Friday about my first (eh hem…….) date? Yeah, so you…
