  • 5-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

    I had a serious urge to bake peanut butter cookies this morning.   When I was checking out at the grocery store, a box of non-vegan cookies screamed out at me so I rushed home and made cookies before I cooked anything I had actually bought groceries for or planned to make for my blog posts…

  • Maple Pecan Coconut Ice Cream

    I did something really exciting on Saturday: my first double-digit run! 10 miles 🙂  Making progress on my half-marathon training!  It was all gorgeous and spring-like out in the morning too, such a perfect day for a long run. 

  • Drunken Frangelico Blueberry Cake

    Hey, guess what, folks!? It’s my 27th birthday today! So I made myself a cake. Last year, I drenched my cake in amaretto.  While trying to think of what to make myself this year, I realized it would be pretty hard to beat a sweet liqueur-soaked cake.  So why not do that again?! And a…

  • Lemony Deep Dish Fruit Pizza

    A dessert pizza!  A soft delicious doughy crust with a secret ingredient.  Lemon curd sauce.  Sweet fruit toppings. Oh my gosh. I served this to many friends/family.  They were surprised to find that it was (1) homemade (2) vegan (3) healthy (4) full of garbanzo beans!!!  Muahahahaha.  I can trick people with my food 🙂…

  • Banana Doughnuts w/ Peanut Butter Glaze

    I introduced you to my doughnut maker Dazey a long time ago for my coffee-glazed doughnuts.  Now she reemerges! When my dad decided it was time to part ways with his old doughnut maker, my sister and I had a little battle over it.  I won.  But she wanted to use it one more time…

  • Vanilla Bean Cardamom Tapioca Pudding

    I’m finishing what turned out to be a week of kind-of indulgences (“kind-of” because they’re all actually pretty nutritious.  Isn’t that happy?) with a treat! You know what is a crazy easy, not-too-guilty dessert?  Tapioca pudding.  I hope I am not the only one who likes this strange gelatinous bubbly pudding.

  • S’mores Brownies + Baby Shower

    It’s baby shower time!  I told y’all that my niece Molly was born last week, but I think I left out that she was over a month early.  So we just had the baby shower.  🙂 I was in charge of food.  Der. So what do you make for a camping-themed baby shower?  Ummmm s’mores. …

  • Blueberry Lemon Poppy Seed Breakfast Truffles

    I braved my mini food processor today and made by far my favorite breakfast truffles yet!   I absolutely love the combination of blueberry + lemon, and lemon + poppy seed.  All combine here for a fantastic pre-workout fuel or guilt free dessert! 

  • Thanksgiving Special: 3 Holiday Recipes!

    I’ve got a monster post for y’all today!  Three Thanksgiving recipes.  A bunch of other exciting things first!  I had an excellent weekend healing-wise.  I woke up Saturday to a much-improved finger.  Until Saturday, my poor injured finger hurt and throbbed if I spent more than about 20-30 minutes without it elevated.  I can now…

  • Salted Coconut Caramel Dip

    She’s back in the kitchen!  Watch out, appliances – gonna take a lot more than that to keep me down! . . . Wait, please don’t take that as a challenge!  Have mercy on me, kitchen gods.  Please. I thought of something fantastic to do yesterday to make my kitchen a little cheerier upon my…
