Tea Tuesday: Autumn Tea is a Necessitea + Granola Bar Recipe

It’s officially Fall Y’all!!!! 🙂  Which in my book means its time to pull out all the yummy fragrant spices, drink tons of holiday teas, and start playing Christmas music! Unfortunately that is not a typo.  I’ll admit it; by the end of September I have secretly already listened to a few Christmas tunes (Michael Buble […]

Peanut Butter Balls

    I met my girlfriend (who had a baby recently) for brunch the other day, and we got on the topic of kid-friendly recipes.  This recipe is one that would be totally fun to get the kids involved with.  I actually had a lot of fun myself rolling these into little globes myself! I found […]

Banana Goji Cupcakes with Nutritious “No-Tella” Chocolate Frosting

  One of my favorite sweet treats used to be Nutella! I seriously used to eat it by the spoonfuls.  I recently spotted Nutella in the store and suddenly had the strong desire to devour the entire bottle, which of course wouldn’t make much sense since I don’t eat dairy.  I opted for a better (and […]

Peach Cobbler

I’m taking y’all back to the south with this one.  Good ‘ol peach cobbler but revised for a healthy plant based diet.  This baby is unbelievably superb without compromising nutrition! I photographed this peach cobbler in my Peach Tea Tuesday post recently.  My plans were to remake and retake a fabulous photo of the cobbler by itself, […]

My Favorite Chocolate Ice Dream (Dairy and Sugar-Free!)

  Who knew that you could still enjoy a chocolate frozen treat on a plant based diet?!  It’s true, you can!  Dairy-Free is deeeelicious! A few years ago when I first heard of “Almond Milk” I literally could not understand what the hell almond milk was.  To me, milk was cow milk, and I liked cow milk…A […]

Romantic Vegan Dinner for Two (Anniversary Recipes)

We had the most relaxing and delicious evening last night!  Our 4 year anniversary could not have been better.  I have been working on a few recipes for our anniversary dinner, and I was very pleased with how these turned out.  I wanted to make something a little fancier than usual, but something that was […]

Apple Cinnamon Bliss Balls

I am such an apple fan!  I feel like apples are overlooked because they are so “ordinary” and this really saddens me because apples are truly the most convenient superfood out there!  I eat at least 1-2 apples a day and my favorite type is Fuji!  I have to be honest, I saw an ad for […]

Coconut Chai Tea Ice Cream

Did I ever tell you that I took 4 years of Pottery in high school? Yep, I did.  You’re probably wondering what that has to do with ice cream.  Well I am reminded of my pottery days as I hold this mug!  Recently my girlfriends and I had a craft day at a local pottery painting […]
