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…

Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough Protein Bars (Vegan+GF)
You guys are probably thinking I’m obsessed with cookie dough at this point but……….wait, who are we kidding, I totally am! Yes, give me a planet where berries are abundant, the rivers are chocolate, and cookie dough grows on trees and I’d be all set. Anybody wanna move there with me? Oh, wait I forgot peanut butter! Yes, peanut butter’s gotta be included in there somewhere. So, it’s getting very close to marking a year since I came back to the States from Chile and it’s really hard to believe. This year has been so full of good, a little bad, and mostly unexpected things. One of the things I’ve been asked so…

Chocolate Hazelnut Granola Orange Yogurt Bowl
If only I had a dime for every yogurt bowl I’ve ever had…….. I’m always excited to share a new recipe, but when it’s one this close to my heart I have a special excitement. Before I get to that though, quick question; how do you feel about shopping? Malls and department stores really aren’t a place I frequent. I’m being completely honest when I say that shopping has never been my thing. Like, I’m not the type of girl to spend tons of money on new clothes, shoes, or anything else that I don’t really need and there are certain stores I even dread having to go into. Actually, when I do…

Hummus & Veggies Mediterranean Mezze Board
I’m so glad to be feeling more myself after being sick all weekend. Can we all agree on the fact that being sick just sucks on every level? Especially when you’re older because then you don’t even get to miss school as a bonus. You just get to lay around feeling guilty that you’re not doing all the things you need to. Then on top of that, I work from home, so it’s hard to not feel extra guilty when you’re work is right there. I’m not saying that there aren’t huge benefits to working from home, but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. This flu virus though, or whatever it was,…

Blueberry White Chocolate Almond Oatmeal Cookies
It’s a little bit strange getting back to being in the kitchen after many days away and traveling. As most of you know, I’ve been in San Diego for the past week. Ironically enough, my father had booked tickets to a concert in Spokane the day I returned so it feels like even longer since I’ve been back to my typical daily routine. I’m not going to lie, it’s been really nice to get a change of scenery. On the other hand, I do like a little routine to help me stay more productive, so a mixture of the two is perfect. Another nice thing about traveling this time of year is escaping…

4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Chocolate Cereal Bars (Vegan)
Hey my favorite peeps, I hope you’re off to a fabulous first Friday of February! (Haha, well that’s quite a tongue-twister) Since the last time I mentioned the weather here it still has yet to snow more than flurries and the grass is almost completely visible everywhere. For it to be so early in the year, that’s pretty surprising. Just wait, I’ll probably be getting buried in a freak snowstorm first week of April. For some reason my inspiration has been much more on the savory side recently. I’m guessing it has to do with the fact that January is such a great month for healthier recipes. Good news though, now I’m…

Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan + GF)
I realized a few days ago that I just couldn’t let January end without sharing a healthy cookie recipe. Firstly, can I just say that all I wanna do sometimes is take pictures of chocolate chip cookies all day! Okay, if you’re thinking what I think you’re thinking, something along the lines of “how can you have anything close to a chocolate chip cookie if you cut out the butter, eggs, and wheat flour????”, well you’re not alone. To be honest, I was thinking the same exact thing until batch no. 4729474 of these cookies came out of the oven (okay not really, more like batch no. 8) Anyway, for my family it’s pretty…
