Spring is in the air. The trees are budding, the grass is beginning to turn a lush shade of green and there is a warmth in the air. Before we know it’ll be summer and time for backyard BBQs and patio parties. During the summer months I enjoy recipes with a light, and fresh air…

Raspberry Almond Baked Oatmeal
Raspberry Almond Baked Oatmeal Vegan • Gluten-Free • Sugar-Free Hey there foodies. I’m here settling into the week after a loooong weekend, all the while prepping for some upcoming vacation time. Over the Easter weekend I reached out over Instagram asking who wanted a baked oatmeal recipe, which turned out to be a wise move,…
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…
Mini Coconut Cream Pies
So these happened a couple months ago… It took a few iterations to get the custard to the right consistency and flavor, but boy oh boy did I nail it on this last iteration. There is something about cream pies that just screams summer. I remember as kid we would often buy the frozen McCain…
Gluten-Free Banana Bread
Banana bread is one of those basic recipes everyone should have in their arsenal. It should be considered part of the basics, right up there with boiling water and cooking rice. Ironically I couldn’t cook a pot of rice if life depended on it… thank god for the rice cooker… But back to banana bread!…
Gluten-Free Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Today I’m swooning over these chocolate chunk cookies. They’re sweet, with big chunks of melted chocolate, crispy on the outside, and chewy and tender on the inside. I’ve been playing with this recipe for the better part of a year (that’s a lot of cookies). Changing the sugars, flours, oils, and egg substitutes in each…
Toasted Coconut Blender Pancakes
Sunday mornings are for sleeping-in, pj’s, and fuzzy socks. For most of us they’re the one day a week we allow ourselves to truly be lazy and just relax. I know that’s the case for me. Truthfully, if it wasn’t for walking the dogs, I might never leave the house. Heck, if I had someone…
Sugar-Free Granola
OMG you guys this granola is the bomb. Seriously, it so awesome, and it’ healthy! Today’s post was originally supposed to be tofu scramble, but I’m so in love with this granola that I advanced it in my post queue. I love granola and use to buy it all the time, that is until I…
Anzac Cookies
Anzac cookies hold fond memories for me. These are the first recipe I made after discovering Heidi Swanson’s blog 101 Cookbooks. Heidi’s blog and books (her books are awesome too) are filled with vegan and vegetarian recipes. Its ironic as I discovered her blog years before ever going vegan. It wasn’t until a year later…
Cranberry Orange Loaf
Coming off of the holidays, I’m finding myself with fridges and freezers that are overflowing with produce and left-overs. We had family visiting from out of town and since everyone was leaving the country to be able to return home, no food could be taken with them. So in an effort to reduce some of…
