Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends and readers. What are you thankful for today? What traditions are you looking forward to? Or perhaps you’re creating new ones… Maybe a new tradition is adding a meatless main dish to your Thanksgiving table. Or perhaps you just have a fussy vegan to feed and no idea…

Apple-Pumpkin Crisp
Pumpkin-Apple Crisp Vegan, Gluten-Free, Refined Sugar-Free Guys, it’s getting cold… Which means more baking to warm up the house. You guys do that too, right? I feel like the fall months are constant struggle between everything apple, or everything pumpkin spice. There may be other fall flavors, but in my mind these are the only…
Roasted Potatoes with Chimichurri
Chimichurri, if you’ve never heard of it, is an Argentinian sauce/condiment. Imagine if pesto and salsa got together and had a baby, it would resemble chimichurri. With a base of parsley and cilantro, giving it its distinctive flavor. The addition of roasted garlic and onions give it an earthy flavor while remaining bright with just…
Chipotle (Blender) Salsa
As iconic as chips and guacamole are for a night of drinks with friends, chips and salsa are a close second. They’re budget friendly and a snap to prepare. This recipe is so simple it barely requires an introduction or post, but let me tell you this. This beats any jarred salsa hands down. Its…
Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Filling
Yup, another pumpkin recipe. I know, I really should be concentrating on holiday cookies now, but as I woke the other morning to a blanket of white snow covering the yard and roof tops, i decided I just wasn’t ready. Determined to cheer up that gray gloomy day, I spotted the silicone muffin tray in…
Blueberry-Lemon Pancakes
As the blueberry bushes in the garden start to fill with ripening fruit I find myself digging through the freezer to make sure I’ve used up last year’s produce. The berry bushes tend to produce more then I can use prior to them spoiling, however freezing these sun ripened gems makes them easy to add…
Maple Walnut Waffles
Pancakes are perhaps the most requested breakfast/brunch dish in our house, however, waffles are a close second. The receipt of a new waffle iron this past Christmas has caused them to have many repeat performances over the past few months. While I like the simplicity of my old stove-top waffle maker, the convenience of an…
Coconut-Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Personally I think its really hard to make a bad banana bread. Pretty much anything goes in terms of add-ins; chocolate, nuts, fruit, etc. So as I was preparing my bags for my second trip down to South Africa last Friday, I noticed the bunch of bananas sitting in the fruit bowl on the dinning…
Berry-licious…
About 4 weeks ago my husband and i embarked on a new fitness routine. One that involves cutting out refined sugar, starchy carbs, added oils, and wheat. This combined with the exhaustion from the excruciating workouts have left me searching for breakfast alternatives… Tofu scramble and overnight oats are great, but they have there limits….
Chocolate & Peanut Butter, together again…
I know, I know… Another chocolate peanut butter post… What can I say, we just happen to love that flavor combo. Its actually quite scary the amount of peanut butter we go through, it seems to find its way into pretty much anything…
