  • Vanilla Spiced Pear Cocktail

    Vanilla Spiced Pear Cocktail

    Over the weekend, I had the BEST cocktail. I actually had no idea what I was ordering or what was in it, but still took on the challenge of remaking it 😉 I went out to Broderick’s Roadhouse with my family on Friday to try their vegan chef challenge menu. I actually ordered off their…

  • Vanilla Chai Protein Chia Pudding

    Happy happy Friiiiiiiiday! Have you ever tried one of those bottled vanilla chai protein drinks? There are a few out there, but I think the Bolthouse Farms one is probably most widely circulated. They are sooo creamy and yummy, full of vanilla goodness with a subtle chai flavor. Well here it is in chia pudding…

  • Raspberry Lemon Vanilla Smoothie

    I made a super simple tiny smoothie the other day to accompany some toast for breakfast, and loved it!  I thought you’d like it too. It tastes like summer in the dead of winter. Perfectly pink frozen fruit, that bright fresh flavor from lemon juice, all blended in a beautiful chilly little drink (that maybe…

  • Fix My Pics: Vanilla Bean Pumpkin Cheesecake

    Don’t know what Fix My Pics means?  Check out this post! Last Thanksgiving, I posted this pumpkin vanilla bean cheesecake.  I absolutely love it.  My guests, vegan and non-vegan alike, all love it (or at least that’s what they told me, and I didn’t see any cheesecake remnants leftover – save for this one piece…

  • Matcha Latte w/ Vanilla Bean Simple Syrup

    I am in LOVE with matcha lattes from Peet’s.  With some vanilla syrup in them. Oh my gosh. But they’re costly.  And I seem to wind up late for work on the days I stop to pick one up 😉 So I figured out how to make them at home!  It’s actually pretty simple.

  • Vanilla Bean Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

    Another light fruit-based dessert!  You’re going to see PLENTY of these in the near future. I actually made these for breakfast.  Well, a post-breakfast snack.  That’s the same, right? So good.  Way simpler than you’d think.  Satisfying.  Guilt-free.

  • 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.

  • 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…
