Double Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies (Vegan+GF)
I’m trying to keep in mind that each day of this continued isolation brings us one day closer to it being over. It helps a little, but gyms are still closed along with everything else. On the bright side I’ve been hiking and making time for lots of things I wouldn’t usually do. Also, I think I might be spending even more time in the kitchen than usual if that’s even possible. If anything can help brighten the mood these days, it’s baking anything with chocolate. Cookies being probably the best choice in my personal opinion. Please tell me you love chocolate hazelnut butter as much as I do because these cookies…

Dalgona Coffee + Oat Milk (Vegan+GF)
I don’t know about you but I like to stick to the four basic food groups; berries, carbs, chocolate, and COFFEE! Okay fine, so I got FOMO over this and had to try it since it’s literally everywhere on the internet write now. Especially on tiktok where it’s known as “whipped coffee” or “fluffy coffee”. What can I say, I wanted in on this particular fad. Plus….it’s coffee so there’s really no downside here. For once I can say the internet has chosen a worthwhile craze to obsess over. It’s also extremely photogenic for a drink so bonus points. Writing a recipe for it is kind of a joke since it’s like 3…

Blackberry Activated Charcoal Smoothie Bowl (Vegan+GF)
I’m back from Hawaii but I’m still craving all the fruit. So charcoal in a smoothie, health benefit or aesthetic benefit? Let’s be real, it’s both. Ever since I started taking food photos I’ve definitely loved jumping on any visually captivating health trends. It’s not just for looks though. Charcoal has a lot of reasons to be consumed aside from it’s striking color. I remember my mom using it when my youngest sister was born because it’s great for helping relieve gas in infants. Another benefit, it’s great at filtering toxins. Have you ever used one of those nifty water-filtering pitchers, yeah well those have charcoal in them. It has a similar effect…

Plant-Powered Oat Protein Bars (Vegan+GF)
Okay, tell me if you do this too…. You’re walking down the protein bar aisle slightly holding your breath because you’re so hoping that the one or two brands that aren’t complete trash happen to be on sale. Then you check the price and realize that even if they were on sale they’re still a little pricey for you to be buying on a regular basis. Then you console yourself by realizing that unless you’re traveling or extremely short on time they really aren’t the best option. Am I the only one? Maybe it’s just me. I do know that there are some really delicious options for making protein packed bars to eat…

Cookie Dough Rawnola (Vegan+GF)
Wow, January is over already? That was so fast! I have a feeling the rest of the year isn’t going to be any slower, but I’m kind of wishing there was a pause button. You know, so we could get our lives together a little bit. I don’t know, maybe that’s part of the beauty of life, that none of us know what we’re doing. What I do know is that 2020 has plenty of space for all the healthy treats. This being one of my favorites lately. Now before I tell you about the recipe maybe some disclaimers are in order. Again, this is 2020 and things aren’t the same as they…

Spiced Sweet Potato Bread + Brown Sugar Icing (Vegan)
The decade is almost over guys! I know everyone’s posting retrospective photos, talking about goals for the next decade, and basically just wondering how it passed so quickly. Me? I’m honestly not too concerned about it. I mean, it’s exciting to be starting a new global chapter for sure. I guess I’m just not so into focusing on new year’s (or in this case new decade’s) resolutions as if that’s the only time to make big life decisions. I sort of prefer to make them on a daily basis. Besides, I’ve never been the greatest at sticking to arbitrary resolutions set out of obligation. I think if something matters to you you’ll stick…
