Chocolate Chip White Bean Blender Blondies (Vegen+GF)
I’m so excited that we’re now counting down the days until Autumn officially begins! Who’s with me??? Well, okay quite honestly I am torn between excitement and a little bit of sadness to see Summer ending but that is quickly forgotten every time I think about all of my favorite upcoming things in the Fall and Winter. Warning you early, there will an obsessive amount of me talking about those things coming your way soon enough. However, for now I’ll let you off the hook and get straight into these blondies that I’m sharing with you today! So……um yeah, I REALLY did put beans in my dessert and I’m not afraid to admit…

Raspberry Pomegranate Overnight Oats (Vegan+GF)
Okay guys, I think I found a new favorite way to eat oats. Before I get to the recipe though, how was your weekend? Did you do anything really fun or make any funny memories. Even if you just spent it with people you love it would be a good weekend in my opinion. So my weekend was great but the saddest thing happened. My camera’s SD card was apparently cracked without my knowledge and when I tried to pull it out of my laptop it jammed and a side piece of plastic it broke off inside. The bad news is that pulling it out pretty much destroyed my laptops SD card reader…

Chocolate Coated Nuts and Seeds Granola Bars (Vegan+GF)
Well, it has definitely been a busy week so far. I’ve been planning, cooking, planning to cook, and even planning to plan. That last one doesn’t always work out with all the different variables that inevitably change whatever I may have attempted to plan but I keep trying anyway. We’ve had some birthdays, some family events, and then this weekend we’re having a gathering with a pretty large group of friends for the evening. Of course you can’t have a good party if it doesn’t involve some good food and you know I love any opportunity to make extra special things so I’m planning for that too. All of that and then we…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Easter Egg Cake Truffles (Vegan)
Hey again, I’m here to (surprise, surprise) tell you about something chocolate! Okay, I know I should be sharing something a little bit more balanced to help inspire you to start your week off right, but……. well chocolate. Did you catch that part? Oh, and there’s peanut butter too! Since the very first months of blogging until now I’ve always wanted to be super organized and planned with my recipes but with the craziness of life things don’t always pan out as I plan. So anyway, I found myself trying to brainstorm some last-minute recipes recently and of course I had Easter on my mind since it’s getting very close. Less than a…

Carrot Cake Baked Doughnuts with Maple Coconut Icing (Vegan)
Hey! Happy Friday! I have to say that this just might be one of the first weeks ever that Friday got here this fast and, while I’m super excited that it’s the weekend, I almost wish I had another few weekdays. Obviously it’s because I haven’t been able to post much in a while, but still. Should there be concern about my mental health just for thinking like this? Also, I’m extremely torn about the season changing here. Between my recent traveling in warmer (and then colder) areas and being sick for what seemed like forever, it’s as if I haven’t had the chance to catch up with the fact that summer is…

Chewy Almond Flour Fudge Brownies (Vegan+GF)
Okay, wow I feel like we need some major recap time guys. It’s been forever since we had a chat and even longer since that chatting involved chocolate. I know, no chocolate? The world might as well have ended, right? So I mentioned being sick in one of my recent posts and that was very true but what I didn’t realize at the time of writing that post, was that I would end up getting sicker the next day and what’s more, end up feeling really-not-great for over one full week! Even as I’m writing this I’m fighting not to be distracted by some of the annoying leftover symptoms that just won’t seem…

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…
