Chewy Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan)
I’m feeling it, you’re thinking what I’m thinking aren’t you? That this Monday is in serious need of chocolate! So have I told you guys how persistent I am? I mean as a person in general, but I’m especially stubborn when it comes to creating new recipes. I don’t know why but I can’t help it. When I get an idea in my head that I really want to try it’s like I have to make it work or I can’t move on. I guess I can even take this character trait a little bit far sometimes, but hey, can you blame me when there cookie perfection is on the line? Come on. I’ve…

Healthy Pumpkin Pie Spiced Hummus with Cinnamon Graham Crackers (Vegan)
So it’s finally starting to feel consistently like Fall which officially means it’s time for #pumpkinspiceeverything. If you think I’m exaggerating, just wait until the end of October. Haha, my brother-in-law has been loving to make fun of me, my sister, and any other American girl that enjoys pumpkin. As he says we’re “basic white girls” and apparently that applies to all my fellow Autumn fanatics. Hey, I’m not ashamed to own it because I do love it! I mean, have you seen all the pumpkin flavored things at the store????? How can that not be fun and exciting? I’m hoping to take my little sister and my nephew to visit a pumpkin…

Glazed Cinnamon Apple Fritters (Vegan+GF)
Have you ever tried to imagine the world without doughnuts? I’ll tell ya, it’s a very lonely and depressing reality. On the other hand, when there is cinnamon and apples involved in said doughnuts it’s pretty much heaven on earth. Me and apples are kind of having a moment right now. Yep, I live in an area that happens to grow my favorite apples on the planet, pink ladies! Yay-yuh! It’s kind of ironic too, because we often buy Chilean apples from Costco here in the States, and I never would have imagined that I’d have lived there for over 4 years. Actually, a funny story that gets repeated in my family…

Autumn Squash Soft Pretzels (Vegan+GF)
It’s getting so close to being officially Autumn and I’m so psyched! I won’t even bother starting on how much I love this time of year because I’m afraid it’s all I’ve been talking about lately. However, I will give fair warning that I’m almost certainly going to be getting a little excited about the theme in my coming recipes. So with these pretzels, I was thinking back to a recipe for dinner rolls that I made using pumpkin. It’s a similar idea, but let’s be honest, pretzels are way more fun. I had some different squashes that I wanted to try and both of them turned out well. One was a butternut…

Dark Chocolate Vegan Birthday Cake (GF)
I think it’s safe to say that chocolate cake is a major staple for special occasions, don’t you think? And if you’re going to make a chocolate cake you might as well go big or go home because a lightly chocolate cake just isn’t gonna cut it. You’ve gotta make it really dark, extra extra dark. Of course, that’s just my opinion and this is coming from someone who would happily eat 85-90% dark chocolate over milk chocolate. So my baby niece is going to be turning 1 soon and my sister and I have already been planning her party since she turned 1 month old. It’s going to be a…

Cranberry Lemon No-Bake Granola Bars (Vegan+GF)
I don’t think you can ever have too many snack ideas in your arsenal to fight against getting hangry. After making that last post about lunch box ideas I got a lot of great feedback that you guys loved these kind of ideas. I find it really helpful even for myself to sometimes embrace simplistic ways of cooking. Or in this case, not cooking. Anyway, did you have a favorite snack bar as a kid? When I think about this a lot of things come to mind, especially chocolate things. Well, while I totally love me a good chocolate chip granola bar, I also occasionally crave something a little more tart and refreshing like…

Back To School Lunchbox Ideas (Vegan+GF)
So it’s back to school time again and that means it’s time for some lunch! Whether back-to-school time represents making lunches for yourself or your kids, it’s never a bad thing to get some great ideas. Maybe you’re needing something to take to work or you do meal preps. I’m not really in any of these categories and I still love fun lunches. So while I’m not in school anymore (thank goodness) my youngest sister is going back to school soon. It’s had me thinking about I always seem to miss this opportunity every year to share these kinds of ideas. And that’s what today’s post is. It’s definitely more about the inspiration…
