Waking up to a snow covered city this week made me realize there is no more denying it… winter is here. And while that does mean turning on the heaters, pulling out the sweaters, and dressing in layers, it also means a lot more hot comfort meals. Chili is a favorite of mine, and I…

Orange Chipotle Tofu
It’s no secret that I love burrito bowls (which you’ve no doubt realized if you follow me on IG). Mostly because they’re fast to make, and allow me to use up whatever is lingering around in the fridge. But without the right combo of flavors they can be somewhat bland, especially if you’re not used…
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
You know those giant chewy oatmeal cookies you get from coffee shops (and high school cafeterias)? Well, these are their baby cousins. Baby, only because I make them much smaller. Because whether they’re big or small, I’m still going to eat more than one, so it’s just healthier this way…
Banana Oat Blender Pancakes
Pancakes and Sundays go together like peanut butter & jelly, or is it peanut butter & chocolate? Or maybe popcorn and movies? Whatever… you get the idea! And while this isn’t the first pancake recipe I post, and most likely not the last, these Banana Oat Pancakes have been my Sunday morning staple over the…
Tacos Al Pastor
During my earlier trips to Mexico – prior to going vegan that it is – my favorite dish was Tacos Al Pastor. If you’ve never had it, it’s the Mexican equivalent of Hawaiian pizza, taco style. Now if you’re one of those people who think pineapple has no place on your dinner plate this dish…
Coconut Nectarine Pops
The temperatures are rising, and no, its not raining men. But, if you’re anything like me, cold treats are welcome anytime of the day. Ice cream for breakfast? Don’t mind if I do… Sure, a smoothie would be healthier, but when it’s this hot, does it really matter? Well, I guess it does, otherwise I…
DIY Cold Brew
Hey there friends, sorry I’ve been away from this space for the past weeks. I’ve been off recovering from surgery and practicing self-care (fudge that’s hard). But, I’m slowly coming back and getting stronger, and wanted to kick things off with a recipe I love. Cold Brew Coffee. Cold brew is my summer drink of…
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,…
Vegan Cheese Sauce
Vegan Cheese Sauce Vegan • Gluten-Free • Sugar-Free • Nut-Free O. M. G. You guys this vegan cheese sauce is da bomb! I’ve been making this for YEARS, and to be honest I can’t believe I’ve never shared this before. It was basically 4 years in the making. My recipe is scribbled on a tattered,…
Easy Vegan Pasta
So I promised you guys more easy, plant based recipes this year, and with just 4 ingredients, this one delivers… I know pasta and marinara sauce is often a cop out for a vegan meal that doesn’t require much effort, and if you’ve tried to find vegan foods in non-vegan restaurants, then you’ve probably already…
