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…

Easy Oats & Seeds Rawnola (Vegan+GF)
I know what you’re thinking. “Is she seriously sharing another version of granola?” If you’ve been around for a while then you probably are familiar with my obsession with granola. That’s why it shouldn’t come as any surprise that I’ve found a new version to fall in love with. It’s “rawnola”, and it’s my new favorite thing. Okay, so basically it’s just crumbled up bliss balls or unbaked granola but it’s so good! It’s kind of a crossover between oatmeal and cereal. Plus, it’s way faster and easier than granola so you can have it ready in minutes. I think this is where the crowd will split because if you’re the type of person…

Vegan Almond & Condensed Coconut Milk Blondies (GF)
These Almond & Condensed Coconut Milk Blondies are a decadent vegan and gluten free treat. They’re delightfully soft, rich, and perfect for holidays or parties! This post is all about vegan condensed coconut milk blondies These bars were something I created ages ago in an attempt to compete with all chocolate focused desserts. These are for the vanilla lovers and they’re such a hit. I made them with gluten free flour just because I enjoy trying things with alternatives and seeing how well they work. The filling takes a quick extra step to cook it until it’s thick, but it’s so worth it. Other than that, these are extremely simple to make and…

Smoky Portobello Veggie Burgers (Vegan+GF)
It’s long past time for some burgers. I’m writing this post from Montana where I’m camping with my sis. I say “camping” because we’re staying in a dry cabin but to me that’s pretty close to camping. We had to bring basically everything we needed aside from a shelter. That means bedding, towels, etc. We’re going to be hiking to some waterfalls tomorrow and maybe rafting down the river. I’m so excited to share it all but for now I’m sharing a recent recipe while I continue gathering good content from this trip. So did you know you could turn a plain old mushroom into something nearly unrecognizable? And before anyone starts…

Chocolate Oat Pancakes (V+GF)
Pancakes are something I really don’t make often enough. In my family there is a near even split of those who love waffles and those who prefer pancakes. Personally, I’m too indecisive to choose between them because I love both. Another thing I find funny is that it’s the boys in my fam who like waffles and the girls who like pancakes. I’d love to know if this trend is the same in your house. Maybe you can take a little poll and let me know. So I was in the mood to make some pancakes, but not just plain ones. Although, I wanted them simple and of course you can never go…

Fudgy Sweet Potato “Nutella” Brownies (V+GF)
Is there a more perfect treat than brownies? I don’t think so. Of course, I’m super indecisive so if I had to choose between brownies and, say, chocolate chip cookies or ice cream, I’d probably fail. So I made homemade nutella recently and omg, yum! When you’re a recipe creator though, sometimes you end up with a lot of extras from testing and that’s what happened here. In these cases my philosophy is always to make lemonade out of lemons. Also, I’m contemplating how I have ever lived without a blender. I mean, obviously brownies aren’t the most essential thing to life (Haha, depending on who you ask 😉 ). It’s just, I think…
