Vanilla Cappuccino Cake + White Chocolate Espresso Frosting (Vegan)
So I was looking through my recipe notebook/idea book yesterday for where I’d written down this recipe. This is the book that ends up with all the random inspirations I have, notes, reminders, and of course recipes. As I was scrolling through it though, it occurred to me that to anyone else looking through the pages, it would look like complete gibberish and most likely have whoever was looking at it questioning my mental stability. Ha, when I see those people who seemingly have it all together with those cutesy little decorated bullet journals and a separate notebook where they’ve compartmentalized there lives and planned out what time to brush their teeth I’m…

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 other day that…

Chunky Monkey Caramelized Banana Split Sundaes (Vegan+GF)
I’ve never made banana splits before you guys, isn’t that ridiculous? We were watching a movie recently and, I don’t even remember which one it was now, but there was a scene in an old-fashioned diner. You know, classic Americana, 1950’s, juke boxes, poodle skirts…. you get the picture. In the scene they brought out this big and beautiful banana split and none of us could help wanting to dive into the screen at that point. I realized immediately that a banana split was lacking in my repertoire of recipes and I knew that I had to fix this major problem as soon as possible. I didn’t want to make just any banana splits…

Creamy Mushroom & Broccoli Gnocchi (Vegan+GF)
How have the first few days of your year been so far? Have you been staying on top of those New Year’s resolutions? You know, because I definitely have (shifts eyes downward guiltily)………..yeah definitely. So okay, maybe I’ve already rearranged some of my originally listed things that sounded like such a good idea a week ago and traded them with some more realistic goals, but I guess that’s better than nothing right? I won’t go as far as to say I believe it’s impossible for you to have your own things in order either, but come on, this is real life and therefore you probably don’t. Am I right? I mean, I could pretend…

Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Bar Doughnuts (Vegan)
Friday just needed something epic this week. Quick question you guys, does anyone else find it really annoying when one of your favorite products or brands gets discontinued? Urghh, it drives me nuts! For example, pepperoni. My family is obsessed (possibly a little too much) with pizza and, oh my goodness, can the guys in my house put it away like nobody’s business! Of course, there has to be meat involved or it doesn’t count as real pizza as far as they’re concerned. Usually that means some combination of bacon, sausage, salami, and obviously pepperoni. The problem though, is that the meats in Chile have completely different seasoning than what we were accustom to…

Funfetti Birthday Cake Batter Blizzards (Vegan)
In case, like my 7-year-old sister Sophie, you feel the need to ask who’s birthday it is, you can hold off right there. I mean, does it technically have to be someone’s birthday to have funfetti cake and ice cream….? Um, I’m gonna go with absolutely not! Hey, life is basically one big huge party happening all around us and the very fact that you’re here to be a part of it should be enough of a reason to celebrate all on it’s own, don’t you think? We’re walking miracles, you and I. Oh, and plus it’s the weekend! So I never really was into eating cake batter when I was little. Brownie…

Throwback!: Homemade Vegan Dunkaroos (Cookies+Frosting Dip)
How about a little throwback for today? I was feeling a bit nostalgic all week long and I thought some of you might understand. Plus, it’s Friday and I wanted to share something extra fun this weekend and then I thought of dunkaroos and there was just no other option, they had to happen! Do you guys remember moon shoes and wonder balls? Oh, or betty spaghetti? Ah, the innocent days of Disney channel Xenon marathons and warhead battles in footy jammies, how I miss them sometimes. I’ve never given it much thought, but it’s kind of cool that my generation was born around the turn of the century. I mean, I only experienced…
