Vegan Carrot Cake Waffles
When I was little, I loved it when my Mom would make Belgian waffles. They were light and fluffy and so delicious! She made a recipe that used egg whites folded into the batter and they always came out just right. Now as an adult I still enjoy making waffles, and make them quite a […]
Vegan Blueberry Lavender Waffles
We just returned from our yearly road trip in celebration of our wedding anniversary and this year on the last day of our trip we visited a blueberry farm Rush River Produce in Maiden Rock Wisconsin and a near by lavender farm Lavender Bluff farm in Stockholm Wisconsin (these are in south eastern […]
Vegan Samoa Doughnuts
Samoas were always my favorite Girl Scout cookies growing up, what’s not to love about a vanilla cookie with chewy caramel, coconut and chocolate?! So now I love making desserts with that same flavor profile. I have made cakes, cupcakes, replica cookies, granola, energy balls. This time I decided to make Vegan Samoa Doughnuts! I […]
Strawberry Granola
I love home made granola! It is so easy to make, and so much better than store bought that since I started making my own I have never gone back. I love that I can create my own flavors as well! The only problem with it is that when I have a pan of […]
Vegan Pumpkin Maple Date Granola
You can feel fall in the air even if it is not technically fall yet. The overly hot days are gone, replaced with cool mornings and moderate temperatures. I love it though! This is my favorite time of year and running outside on a cool morning is refreshing! I have also gotten into baking fall […]
Vegan Peach Muffins
One of my favorite things to eat on weekends when I was little were muffins that my Dad made. Yes, they happened to come from a box, but there is just something so delicious about fresh baked muffins on a lazy weekend morning! I loved muffins in general as a kid. I would eat the […]
Mango Strawberry Granola
I was never a big granola person, until I discovered home made granola! Store bought was a bit too sweet and sugary for me sometimes, and the flavors weren’t that exciting but when I make my own at home I can tailor it to my sweetness level and add all kinds of fun add […]
Vegan Strawberry Shortcake French Toast Casserole
I always loved french toast as a kid. It was sweet and delicious and it always seemed like a treat! Sweet breakfast to me has always seemed like dessert, even if it is what a lot of people typically eat. And I still feel that way! So often times when I make breakfast items […]
Vegan Date Cinnamon Swirl Bread
I always loved cinnamon bread growing up, especially for toast! It was amazing with some butter on it for a breakfast treat! I preferred the plain cinnamon, not the cinnamon raisin because I am not a big raisin fan. But I was thinking recently, you know what would make cinnamon raisin swirl bread better? […]
Vegan Blueberry Maple French Toast Casserole
One of my favorite things to do with a bunch of leftover bread is french toast casserole! I will often times put bread in the freezer if we don’t eat it all in a couple days because I don’t want it to get stale. But sometimes I forget it is in there. I had a […]
Vegan Berry Swirl Bread
I am so ready for spring! It felt like Spring here in Minnesota for about a week with temperatures in the high 30s and 40s and the snow was melting. So I spent as much time outside as possible when I could and dreamed about actual spring and decided that making something with strawberries sounded […]
Vegan Apple Cinnamon Sweet Rolls
Apple season is in full swing! Although I have yet to make it to the apple orchard this year, I really want to go soon, I love going there are picking my own apples! However I did recently buy some apples at a farm market when we visited Door County Wisconsin recently. They […]
Vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Scones
Strawberries and rhubarb are one of my all time favorite combinations! I think it all started when I was little. My Grandma used to grow a row of giant rhubarb plants behind her garage, and she would use them to make this really delicious strawberry rhubarb sauce which she would give to us in […]
Vegan Strawberry Sweet Rolls
Spring has arrived in full force, the trees are blossoming, the grass is vibrant green, and the birds are singing. I love it! And, I am inspired to make desserts that have spring ingredients, like these Vegan Strawberry Sweet Rolls! Minnesota strawberries won’t be here for a little while, they are in their flowering stage, […]
Vegan Matcha Mint Doughnuts
I can’t believe it is already Christmas this week! Time has flown, and as always this time of year is busy, so instead of making a cake this week when I felt like making a treat, I decided to make doughnuts instead! I like to enjoy doughnuts with my coffee sometimes on the weekends, and […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Cake
Pumpkin is my jam ever since fall started. I make so many pumpkin cookies and scones at work lately and they always sell really fast so apparently I am not the only one. I have been making cookies, cakes, and pumpkin spice lattes at home, but what I I have really been craving lately that […]
Vegan Birthday Cake Waffles
July was my birthday month, so in addition to a cake I made a few other birthday treats like these fun Birthday cake waffles! Yes, my birthday was actually a few weeks back, but I just got around to typing it up now, and I feel like these can be made even when […]
Vegan Chocolate Caramel Rolls
I have been telling myself that I wanted to make some sort of sweet rolls since before the Holidays, and I finally got around to it last weekend. They are a bit of a project, since the dough requires rising time and whatnot and time is something I have not had a lot […]
Gingerbread Granola
The Christmas music everywhere has begun! Not that it is a bad thing, it gets me in the mood for the season, and I have a few songs that I really like. But then there are the over-played ones with 5 different versions of the same song that I hear over and over on the […]
Vegan Blueberry Sweet Rolls
We are at the tail end of summer, so I am enjoying all of the berry deliciousness that I can! Which includes desserts, and other creations besides just eating them plain. Like these vegan blueberry rolls! When we visited Eric’s Dad in July he sent us home with lots of his home […]
Vegan Blueberry Vanilla Waffles
Last month when Eric and I visited his Dad in Michigan we went blueberry picking and ended up with loads of berries to bring home. I ate a bunch right away, but froze about half for using later, since I always like to have frozen fruit on hand for recipes. I have been wanting to […]
PB and J Chocolate Chip Energy Bites
In case you are wondering why I haven’t been posting as many new recipes lately, it is because my kitchen is in the process of being remodeled and I have had limited access to it off and on. Which makes me a little less motivated to make anything that can’t be made in the instant […]
Vegan Vanilla and Chocolate Pancake Cereal
I don’t know about you, but I am always drooling over other people’s food photos on Instagram. One of the latest crazes that caught my eye was the pancake cereal I have seen a few people make. I love pancakes, so it looked like it was right up my alley! I was also kind of […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Granola
I made a chocolate peanut butter roll cake last week, and it was so good that I am keeping the chocolate peanut butter theme going. Not with a dessert this time though, with a delicious snack! My last batch of granola was running low, and it is something that I need to keep in my […]
Vegan Poppy Seed Rolls
Sweet rolls are for lazy weekend mornings, and days off. So I decided to make some on my day off last Monday. I know a lot of you may be feeling like there are a lot more of them lately with everything being shut down, so why not make some sweet rolls? They always […]
Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Pop Tarts
I loved Nutella as a kid. I remember thinking it was pretty awesome that I could have chocolate on toast for breakfast (because it pretty much just tasted like chocolate with not much nut flavor since it is so sugary). It is pretty much dessert after all. My Mom wouldn’t let me eat it […]
Vegan Maple Pecan French Toast Casserole
I always loved french toast growing up. Even though it is something that is supposed to be made with leftover stale dry bread, I always thought it was special because I didn’t get to have it often. Yet, we always had the ingredients on hand. I thought that when I went vegan it would be […]
Vegan Banana Bread Granola
Store bought granola has nothing on home made. It is so much fun picking your own flavors and ingredients. Although I have my favorites, I try to switch it up a lot according to what I have on hand and try new things. I always keep a bag of granola in my pantry at all […]
Vegan Raspberry Chocolate Chunk Bread Pudding
When I have a lovely loaf of crusty bread, there are two things I love doing most with it. Enjoying it with soup so I can dunk it in and soak up the goodness, and making bread pudding. I usually end up doing both if it is a large loaf and I have enough. I […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Sweet Rolls
I have made classic caramel rolls, and cinnamon rolls but I thought I would make something a little different last weekend as far as rolls went because I am always open to trying new things when it comes to making recipes! I has some of Eric’s Dad’s home made jam and I thought […]
Vegan Banana Hazelnut Chocolate Pancakes
When you get a bunch of free bananas, you make banana goodies. Or freeze them for smoothies, but I already had some in the freezer so I made some banana bread pudding earlier this week, and then these banana hazelnut chocolate chip pancakes this weekend. I guess I am in the mood for brunchy banana […]
Vegan Sweet Potato Waffles
Do you ever just scroll through people’s food photos on Instagram and just get really hungry? I totally do, and I saw some waffles a few days back on someone’s feed that looked amazing. I told myself, you have to make waffles soon! It had been too long, and they just sounded really good. Well, […]
Vegan Pumpkin Caramel Rolls
Last weekend we drove up to Duluth MN and Gooseberry Falls State Park for the day, since I took some vacation from work and those are some of my favorite places to visit. It is about a 2 hour drive to Duluth and another hour up to the park, so as you can imagine we […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Granola
Fall is officially here, so I had to make something pumpkin spice. I know everyone makes fun of people that like pumpkin spice and pumpkin spice lattes and whatnot, and while I agree that some things should not be pumpkin spice flavored (like certain savory items), most pumpkin spice is darn delicious and I love […]
Vegan Apple Streusel Muffins
I made apple scones earlier last week, and when I still had apples on hand, I decided that I needed to make some more apple goodies. I usually make apple crisps and apple pies and that sort of thing but this time muffins sounded good. I don’t make them often after all, and I was […]
Vegan Maple Cinnamon Rolls
Nothing beats the aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls. It is such a happy smell, and one can not possibly be in a bad mood when exposed to the heavenly scent! At least I can’t. I have always loved them, since I was a little kid. I used to like it when my Mom made […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Dark Chocolate Pop Tarts
So last weekend I decided to make some chocolate peanut butter pop tarts. I know I just made raspberry pop tarts last week, but a friend asked me if I could make some involving chocolate too, so I couldn’t resist making them again. The other ones were so good after all and I did love […]
Vegan Raspberry Pop-Tarts
It was hard for my Mom to get me to eat breakfast when I was little. I just wanted to go to school or daycare and hated cereal so I would either eat Nutrigrain bars or Pop-Tarts so I didn’t have to sit down and take a lot of time to eat. The Raspberry Pop-Tarts […]
Vegan Chocolate Crepes
Last weekend Eric and I were at a cafe that served crepes and we just had time for lattes even though he really wanted some crepes. So, I decided that later that week I would make some crepes. Classic vanilla crepes are so good with just cinnamon and sugar but I figured I would be […]
Strawberry Pistachio Lemon Granola
When I was little I thought that granola was something that hippies ate that you got at the health food store. So in other words a health food. Little did I know that it was actually really delicious, which I discovered in college when I decided to make a granola recipe from a breakfast cookbook […]
Vegan Chocolate Strawberry Scones
I am so happy it is finally getting comfortably warm outside! Eric and I went for a walk in the afternoon around the Stone Arch area of Minneapolis last weekend and it was so warm that I wore shorts and a tank top and was even sweating a little despite the breeze. Let me tell […]
Vegan Matcha Waffles
I am obsessed with matcha tea. I drink it every day at work in chilled form unadorned, and on the weekends I like to enjoy a matcha latte at a coffee shop. It is my treat lately since I usually make stuff like that at home, but I do enjoy when someone else makes it […]
Vegan Lavender Lemon Waffles
When I was little, my Mom made waffles for lunch or dinner more often than for breakfast. It makes sense to me, why not make them at night during the week when you have time to enjoy them, or for lunch on a weekend if you have things going on in the morning? So now […]
Vegan Mocha Almond Chocolate Waffle Cake
When we get to the end of the year, sometimes I decide that I need to make a recipe that I have had in my head for a while, yet never got around to making. Well, this year it was a waffle cake. I have been wanting to make a waffle cake since last year […]
Vegan Hot Chocolate Waffles
I loved hot cocoa or hot chocolate growing up. We always had a box of those little packets ready to just add water to. You know, the ones with the mini marshmallows in them? My 8 year old self loved that stuff! Now, I prefer to make my own instead of using a mix. I […]
Vegan Snickerdoodle Crepes with Caramelized Apples
I had never tasted a snickerdoodle cookie until I was about 16 years old. Surprising I know, I had tried most of the other classics, like chocolate chip, sugar, oatmeal, spice cookies, almond cookies etc. But never the snickerdoodle. I tried one for the first time at a little coffee shop at a ski lodge […]
Vegan Marble Cake Waffles
I have recipe fails sometimes. Like once I made a mac and cheese (before I went vegan, back in college) and it was supposed to be souffle like and baked and it ended up tasting so horrible with a bad texture I just threw it away because I couldn’t bear to eat it let alone […]
Vegan Strawberry Pop-Tarts
I was kind of a picky eater when I was little when it came to normal quick breakfast foods. I didn’t like cereal or milk, I didn’t like oatmeal (which is funny because now, that is what I eat, and I have done so for the last 15 years), and I wasn’t much for regular […]
German Chocolate Granola
When I was little, granola was something that I thought hippies made or something that was brought along on camping trips. But the truth is I had never actually tried it and it just looked like something healthy to me. At that point in my life I wasn’t into “healthy” foods made with whole grains […]
Vegan Carrot Cake Scones
The arrival of Spring has me in the mood for carrot cake. Because to me, it is the quintessential Spring dessert. I mean, it is perfect for Easter celebrations, and carrots first come into season this time of the year (well not for a while in Minnesota, but in other parts of the country). I […]
Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Scones
In the deli I work in, they make a lot of baked goods. My work station is right next to the cooling rack, so I get to enjoy the aroma of freshly baked sweets all day long, and I admit it is certainly a mood booster. Happy smells. That is why I love baking so […]
Vegan Caramel Apple Pancakes
As far as I am concerned, last weekend was the perfect Fall weekend here in Minnesota. Cool and 40F degrees in the AM, which is perfect for running through the crunchy leaves (one of my favorite parts of fall), and 70F degrees and sunny in the afternoon, which is ideal weather for visiting the local […]
Vegan Blueberry Pop-Tarts
Pop-tarts were all the rage when I was little. I remember a few of my friends bringing them to school for a snack every morning, and begging my Mom to get some. My Mom let me get some, but I wasn’t allowed to have too many, because she tried to get me to eat healthier. […]
Vegan Blueberry Peach Anise Scones
Have you ever been to a coffee shop or bakery, bought a scone, and it tasted dry, crumbly and just sugary without much other flavor? Well, I have. Honestly, I thought that I did not like scones at all until I started working at my job in the deli and was taught by one of […]
Vegan Citrus Margarita Pancakes with So Delicious and Kitchen I.Q.
This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. Pancakes are always good, no matter what meal you decide to make them for. When I was younger my Mom used to make them for dinner sometimes, and I loved it! Because I was never going to turn down pancakes. Especially when fresh fruit was […]
Vegan Chocolate Quinoa Pancakes
I always think it is funny listening to people try to pronounce the word quinoa for the first time. “Qhinwah? Keenohah? Keen-way? I am not sure how to say it…” We have all been there honestly, and it is hard to pronounce for first timers. I first started making it when I started working at […]
Chocolate Chia Crunch Granola and Coconut Yogurt Parfait
There was a time in my life before I went vegan that I ate yogurt every afternoon for a snack topped off with fruit. I was a huge yogurt eater, because I figured it was packed with protein. I always bought Greek yogurt in a big tub, because I liked how thick it was, and […]
Sweet Potato Pie Chia Porridge
I love sweet potatoes so much, I eat them almost every day. Funny, because there was a time in my life when I did not care for them. Back when I thought they all came in cans with syrup (I was a kid), because that was the only way I had been served them. On […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Banana pancakes were one of the first vegan recipes I made back in the day. The Summer I was teaching myself to cook, and I had gotten a bunch of vegetarian and vegan cookbooks from the library to page through. I was a pretty new vegetarian with not much cooking experience but I wanted to […]
Mini Vegan Coconut Orange Sweet Rolls
When I was little, sometimes my Mom would buy take and bake sweet rolls. I know everyone’s favorite is the caramel or cinnamon variety usually, but she would buy the orange, and add coconut to them to jazz them up a bit. Now they may have been store bought rolls, but they were super delicious […]
Vegan Gingerbread Waffles
It was below zero yesterday, and all I could think about all day at work was getting warm when I got home. I work in a kitchen, so you would think it would be warm there, but not so much when the drafts come in from the front of the store. I even used my […]
Vegan Gingerbread Crepes
Thanksgiving has come and gone, so that means Christmas, Christmas everywhere! Pretty soon you won’t be able to go anywhere without hearing Christmas music, or seeing festive decorations. Sometimes I think people go a little overboard, with big decorations but you know what? Whatever makes them happy! My Mom was always kind of a minimalist […]
Autumn Quinoa Breakfast Porridge
We have this Summer berry quinoa salad in the deli I work in, and it is super popular. It is a sweet salad with creamy coconut milk, and fresh berries, and I always have said to myself, it would make a good breakfast. And told myself that I would make it at home. Well, Summer […]
Giant Vegan Oven Pancake with Sauteed Pluots
Sometimes you just want pancakes, but don’t want to slave over a hot stove flipping them. If that is you, read on. It is definitely me, because I have other stuff to do sometimes! When I was younger my Mom would make oven pancakes in a pie dish or skillet and they were always delicious. […]
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Pancakes
I have been in the mood for chocolate chip cookies lately for some reason. Maybe it is the fact that at the deli I work in, my station is next to the baked goods cooling rack and those darn cookies cooling smell sooo good! They are not vegan, so I am never tempted to steal […]
Vegan Maple Pecan Muffin Pancakes
I saw on a local news show, a segment about muffin tin pancakes and apparently they are all the rage lately on social media. I must be out of the loop, because I had not heard about them until that point. Whoever invented them though is genius, because they are so much easier to make […]
Vegan Black Forest Scones
When I was little, I thought cherries were something that you could only get in cans. I also thought that they were naturally fire truck red, and sickeningly sweet. Something that went on top of your Sundae’s just to top it off…but didn’t taste all that good when you actually ate them. Needless to say […]
Double Berry Mango Layered Smoothie
On a hot and humid day, something cooling and refreshing is absolutely essential. I have been enjoying my popsicles and ice cream lately, but smoothies do the trick too for when you want something a little less sweet but still filling and refreshing. Last weekend, Eric and I got back from a day outside in […]
Vegan Summer Berry Sweet Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting
My perfect summer day off involves going for a run in the morning and having it be cool and refreshing outside, then enjoying some berry picking and more time outside maybe going for a walk in the woods, and later making something fabulous with those berries, and afterwards relaxing with my favorite person and a […]
Vegan PB & J Pop-Tarts
I was never much of a fan of pop-tarts when I was little truth be told, especially not the fruit ones, they tasted artificial to me. Probably because there was loads of sugar and artificial ingredients. The only ones I kind of liked were the cinnamon sugar. I did however love pie and pastries, just […]
Vegan Cinnamon Roll Scones
All day at work in the deli yesterday, I was engulfed in the heavenly aroma of scones. My work station is near the cooling rack, and my coworker had been making blueberry oatmeal and lemon poppy seed scones. They smelled amazing. It is like free scent therapy. You can not close your eyes and smell that and […]
Vegan Shamrock Pancakes
March is here, St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, and I am loving the color green lately (since I miss that green grass, and I hope it appears soon) so I thought I would make something green and St. Patrick’s Day themed. I have never actually made shaped pancakes before, and I am […]
Funky Monkey Quinoa Breakfast Porridge
Most people think of quinoa as something savory to mix vegetables into or serve as a side dish, but it also makes a wonderful porridge for breakfast. I am a fan of porridge for breakfast, usually oatmeal though. But I decided to try making something different and used quinoa. This actually ended up being a […]
Vegan Red Velvet Chocolate Chunk Pancakes
Red velvet cake is sexy. That lovely color, that sweet flavor, and that luscious cream cheese frosting. Crave worthy. And definitely Valentine’s day worthy. But I know you all are not going to go bake a red velvet cake for you and your special someone. That is a lot more work than most of us […]
PB & J Overnight Oats
I have eaten oatmeal every morning for breakfast since I was 16, and I am still not sick of it. Granted the way I eat it has changed a bit. I started out eating it cooked to gloopy perfection on the stove, with brown sugar, cinnamon and a some chocolate chips stirred in. When I […]
Vegan Citrus Corncakes (gluten free) with Kumquat Syrup
After an exhausting day last week, all I wanted was to make some breakfast for dinner when I got home. I had been running around all day and wanted nothing more than to relax and make some pancakes. Something wintery with seasonal ingredients preferably made from things I had on hand, since I didn’t feel like […]
Vegan Snickerdoodle Waffles with Caramel Sauce
When I was little, waffles usually ended up being more of a weeknight occasional special breakfast for dinner rather than actual breakfast. We didn’t usually have time in the morning to make stuff like that, unless it was a quiet weekend, but I often times had stuff going on during weekends like school or church […]
Vegan Eggnog Waffles
My Dad gave me a “Frozen” (as in the Disney movie) waffle maker last week, and I was pretty excited about it. Mainly because the waffle mold inside is shaped like a snowflake, and it is now snowing here and practically Winter. Yes, I know I am a kid sometimes getting excited about things, but […]
Vegan Pumpkin Pull Apart Bread
My Grandma used to make the most wonderful thing in the world (at least to my five year old self), monkey bread. In case you have never heard of it, it is bread that is shaped into little balls, all baked together with cinnamon sugar that becomes gooey and caramel like, and pecans. It was […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Pancakes (gluten free)
I asked Eric what I should make one night last week and he said cinnamon rolls. But unfortunately it was a work night, and I didn’t have a lot of time to let those babies rise, so I couldn’t make them. But they sounded really good to me too, so I thought I would […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Crepes
Eric has been telling me I should make cinnamon sugar crepes for months now, and I was a bit stubborn saying that they sounded boring, and they did a little to me…until I realized it is now fall, and I could make pumpkin crepes with cinnamon sugar! Because that makes ALL the difference, at least […]
Raw Pumpkin Spice Granola
I am heading into pumpkin bliss at full speed. Pumpkin does not last long in this household lately after I buy it because I am finding all sorts of delicious ways to use it in recipes. Of course I have baked a few things, and made a few savories, but snacks are not off limits, […]
Raw Spiced Carrot Apple Granola
The aroma of Autumn is in the air. You can especially smell it in the morning. As I head out for my runs, the air feels crisp and dry. The trees are just starting to show signs of color, reds, yellows and oranges appearing on a select few, and a few are falling to the […]
Raw Caramel Pecan Peach Granola
After I made my last batch of Granola, I promised Eric I would make another batch soon because he loved it so much. So I had to get on it fast, because I always keep my word on things like that. I was kind of excited about it too because it sounded good to me […]
Vegan Carrot Cake Overnight Oats
I love carrot cake. And now, I can have carrot cake for breakfast. Not just a slice of carrot cake though, an actual nutritious breakfast that will not leave me with a sugar rush. Carrot cake overnight oats! My new favorite thing, and they could not be easier to make. Ok, the truth is I […]
Savory Vegan Zucchini Cakes with Creamy Roasted Tomato Sauce
I got a huge zucchini in my CSA box, and I had to make something with it. My oven was broken, so zucchini cake or bread was out of the question. But what else could I make? I really did not want to make something sweet anyhow, I thought using it for dinner was a […]
Matcha Almond Fig Overnight Oats
I got my hands on some gorgeous figs, and although I enjoyed some plain, some made it into my breakfast as well. I have been making special variations of overnight oats on the weekend. During the week I am pretty boring, just the same old spices that are cheap and quick. But on the […]
Blueberry Muffin Batter Overnight Oats
This may sound kind of odd, but I like blueberry muffin batter even more than regular cake batter. I know it is slightly less sweet but that is what I love about it. That and the few berries that I may or may not have purposely left behind in the bowl so I could enjoy them […]
Vegan Lemon Corncakes (gluten free) with Raspberry Rhubarb Sauce
Last week, I had some beautiful raspberries and rhubarb just begging to be used in some sort of delicious dish. Although just dessert would have been wonderful, I thought something a little more substantial and meal oriented might be a good idea. It was after work, I was hungry and I was talking to Eric […]
Peach Melba Overnight Oats
I ate oatmeal every day for 10 years straight in a row from the time I was in high school to a few years back. It was my go to meal every morning, I loved it and I never tired of it. Adding in goodies sometimes like peanut butter or fruit. It always tasted good […]
Vegan Chickpea Flour Pancakes and Spiced Lentil Potato Hash
I have always loved Indian food since the first time I tried it back when I was in college. I loved it so much I used to get cookbooks from the library and look for traditional recipes to make at home so I could enjoy it all the time, not just when I went out […]
Raw Blueberry Muffin Batter Almond Butter
Blueberry muffins were a regular occurrence on Saturday mornings at my Dad’s house growing up. I always looked forward to making them even though my Dad was no baker (no offense Dad, still love you anyhow) and used a boxed mix. I would always lick the bowl clean of batter every time after we had […]
Vegan Piña Colada Scones
I remember the first time I ever had a Piña Colada. I was about 8 or so, and my Mom had just taken me to a play which was in and of itself exciting, then we were going out to eat at a fancy Asian restaurant where they cooked your food at your table. I was pretty excited. […]
Vegan Piña Colada Waffles
Sleep in, workout, enjoy the fabulous weather and sunshine and make waffles. Sounds like the perfect weekend day to me! Kind of how it went down one day last weekend, just randomly decided to make Vegan Piña Colada Waffles because I had time, and I knew my boyfriend who I happened to be spending time […]
Raw German Chocolate Chia Porridge
I always have some sort of porridge for breakfast during the week, whether it be oatmeal or chia porridge. I am pretty plain with it most of the time, with the chia porridge simply using coconut water and topping it off with bananas and ground flax seed. But sometimes I like to give it a […]
Key Lime Pie Smoothie
I have been enjoying a lot of limes lately. Just been craving the flavor for some reason. Especially key lime pie. So I made some Key Lime Pie Bites, and those were wonderful, but I wanted to bring that flavor to my smoothie as well! Smoothies are actually a treat for me when I have […]
Raw Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Energy Bars
I never leave the house without a snack on hand if I know I am going to be somewhere long. I guess I take after my Grandma, who always brought us kids snacks whenever we would go anywhere. She was always prepared. We would never go hungry with Grandma around. And it wasn’t just […]
Raw Green Berry Layered Shake
Sprout Living was kind enough to send me some of their products to try, and one of them was the Green Kingdom Epic Protein. It is a vitamin rich protein filled with green plants such as spirulina, kale, and Indian moringa but it does not taste like it does, in fact it tastes sweet and delicious! I […]
Raw Green Tea Almond Raspberry Granola
My Mom drinks green tea every day, and she loves my granola for breakfast. So I thought I would create a recipe for her that combined two of the things she loves. Plus, I am a fan of granola myself and I can not resist anything with matcha in it lately. It has found its […]
Vegan Maple Oatmeal Walnut Pear Scones
I work in a deli, and my coworker often bakes scones. They all smell amazing, and I think they are my favorite thing to have sitting next to me on the cooling rack because the heavenly aroma they give off makes me happy. I used to make a lot of scones at home, but sadly, […]
