Fragrant Vanilla Cake

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 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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Peanut Maple Crunch Granola

  I asked Eric what type of granola I should make last week.  He said something maple.  I wanted to make something new not something I had made before because I like to always try something new when it comes to making food, so o decided maple with peanut butter.  Because peanuts with a little […]

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 Mocha Almond Granola

On a whim last weekend I decided that I needed to make chocolate granola.  I had not made oat granola in ages…probably a 4-5 years, so it was about time.  I had just been bragging to Eric about how good my oat granola was when I realized I had not made him any, ever! So I […]

Raw Strawberry Lemon Chia Seed Granola

I sometimes tend to get weird looks when I tell people about a dream of mine, or an idea I have for something I want to create.  Maybe that would bother most people, but not me. After all, no one who created anything great ever thought inside the box, and inside the box thinking is not […]

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 […]
