German Chocolate Cake (Vegan)
It’s a classic for a reason….and I think it’s a pretty obvious one. It’s the best! When I say the best I mean in general as a thing, not that my recipe is the best. Although, it’s a pretty good one. Plus, I may have been told by friends and family that this recipe really is the best, but I’ve recently come to realize how little a claim such as that means in the vast sea of available recipes on the internet. You may find this hard to believe but, as of this moment, I don’t own a cookbook. Not even one. My mom used to have a huge collection that I never…

Faux Fish Sticks with Coconut Basil Cream (Vegan)
I’m following yesterday’s very summery recipe with another. I’m simply not ready to accept that my summer is over so I’m just going to live vicariously through those of you who live up north. Of course, that’s not going to fix anything but I can always hope right? Like, maybe if I think about it hard enough I’ll wake up and find that winter is over and it’s berry season again. Yeah, that would be nice…….but not happening. I’ve officially started getting into the winter stash of berries that I’ve been telling you about for the past few months. There are a lot of them but I know they’ll still disappear in a…

Fettuccine Alfredo Primavera Pasta (Vegan+GF)
I think I have officially topped myself on easiest meals ever! Okay, I guess I should clarify that. If you were planning to hit a drive-through or pop a frozen dinner in the microwave then that is technically going to be an easier dinner. When I say easy I mean by the standard of someone who makes almost everything from scratch. I made this in under 45 minutes and it’s highly improvable! I just really wanted to make a pasta recipe that still had lots of veggies and flavor, but didn’t dirty every dish in the kitchen. You know? Granted, this still uses a handful of dishes, but I guess I just really…

Naked Carrot Cake with Coconut Cream Frosting (Vegan+GF)
Blogging this past year has made me realize a lot of things about myself that I never knew. One of which is the fact that I might be obsessed with cake. I wouldn’t have thought so but recently I’ve just wanted to bake cakes. So you know how I was talking about fads the other day? Yeah, well, the “naked” cake look is another one of those that is really in right now and I’ve been on the fence about how I feel about it. For a while I thought I’d never do a cake like that because cake decorating is basically in my blood. Both my mother and my grandmother have been…

Simple Fresh Strawberry Turnovers (Vegan)
Simple. Fresh. Easy. These words are what I’m feeling today should be. I’m going to keep things short, sweet, and simple. I spend way too much time these days feeling rushed and crammed trying to get everything done. I started this blog as a creative outlet and something to fill up my extra time. Oh boy, does it fill up the time, but the point is that it is supposed to be fun. Being in the kitchen and creating delicious, sometimes crazy, always messy foods for the people I love is something that makes me happy and I love to share that with you guys. But recently I’ve been starting to dread writing posts…

Swirly Brown Sugar Cinnamon Roll Cookies (Vegan)
Is there anything better than a big doughy cinnamon roll? It’s hard to say, but at the moment I’m failing to think of anything. The problem with cinnamon rolls is that they require a bit of planning ahead and sometimes you just haven’t done that when a craving hits. Like those moments when you just have to have a cinnamon roll immediately or you may die. Does that happen to you too? Well, you see, that’s what I’m here for, to solve these urgent problems in life. Does that mean that I plan to save the world one cookie at a time? Maybe it does. Don’t judge. It’s a perfectly good plan, even if…

Blackberry BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Sandwiches+Cilantro Pepper Slaw (Vegan+GF)
If that’s not a mouthful of a title then I don’t know what is. I couldn’t decide what to name this recipe as there is so much going on here. Okay, at some point I have to stop always trying to convince you to make something that I have made and received rave reviews about. However…..this is not that day. I am about to do everything I can to persuade you to make these sandwiches! This is one of those rare recipes that comes together in my mind with ease. Pure inspiration that leads to a finished product that I feel almost guilty taking any credit for because it was just too easy.…
