Healthy Carrot Cake Cupcakes + Coconut Frosting (Vegan+GF)
So tell me if this is just me, but I always seem to wonder about the most random things in life. My mom used to tell me I’d ask her the deepest questions as a little kid. The kind of questions that really stump parents as there’s no possible way to describe and explain the answers to a child even if they do have an answer. Questions about time, space, and concepts of fairness in life. Mom was always pretty good at coming up with an answer to appease my shorter self, but looking back now I can see that I put her in some tough positions with my spontaneous inquiries. These days…

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…

Easy Vanilla Marshmallow Milkshakes
You know you’re a grown-up, responsible, mature adult when…….you purposefully dump miniature marshmallows everywhere to take a photo and no one questions your sanity. I’ve learned a few things this week, and one of them is that you’re not in the right line of work if you can’t enjoy what you do. Okay, I’d be the first one to defend the fact that food-blogging is way freaking harder than it might sound. Contrary to what some may think, it’s a full-time, multi-faceted, difficult job (with a lot of dishes), plus working from home presents its own challenges. Okay, but it’s also a lot of fun sometimes. So do you remember me mentioning…

Vegan Cappuccino Cake + White Chocolate Espresso Frosting
This vegan cappuccino cake with vegan white chocolate espresso frosting is a serious showstopper. It’s so full of flavor and sure to please everyone on your guest list! 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. This post is all about Vegan Cappuccino Cake with White…

Vanilla Oat Flour Protein Crepes + Berries (Vegan+GF)
Good morning, my lovelies! The season is starting to get to that tipping point of permanently crisp air, rainy days, and bare trees and I’m starting to get excited for all that the holiday season is going to involve this year. I’m also highly excited about next week. In case you missed it in my recent posts, I’m going to Europe for the first time in my life! Yes, so I’m looking forward to it lot but there is still a lot of planning I have to do and things I want to get done before so making time to enjoy something filling and delicious is a priority to keep me going. These…

Creamy Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl (Vegan+GF)
Wow, September disappeared into October, how did that happen? The days are quickly getting shorter and the chill in the air seems to be here to stay so I’m cozying up my recipes and I hope that you’re as excited about this as I am. This sweet potato bowl is a current favorite of mine with all of it’s comfort-food vibes and versatility. During the summer while I was recovering from my 4-wheeler accident this became my go-to breakfast. It’s definitely not the most common morning fare but honestly it shouldn’t be all that strange considering sweet potatoes are a staple around the holiday season. Have you ever just wished you could find…
