YUM, right? Right!  These babies are tasty! You have probably noticed that I am not much of a baker.  I tend to stick with creating vegetarian and vegan breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.  On occasion I will throw in a smoothie or a nut butter here or there, but desserts have never really happened...until now.  To be [...]

Wednesday has once again rolled around.  Unfortunately, it didn't arrive nearly as quickly as I was hoping.  Now that we are only a week away from Christmas and I am only five days away from traveling back to my hometown, each minute, hour, and day seems to slowly crawl by.  The anticipation is killing me, [...]

If you could not already tell from previous recipes I have posted, my recent What I Ate Wednesday posts, and my Twitter and Instagram feeds, I like gingerbread flavored foods...a lot.  But lucky for me, I have noticed that you like them a lot, too!  And there really is no [...]

First off, happy Friday the 13th! ;)  Do I have any superstitious blends out there?  I must say that I am not much for superstitions, so to me it is just another day.  Well, maybe it is not just another day.  It is Friday, after all, and Fridays make me oh so happy! Food makes me [...]

People are often surprised when I tell them that I follow a mostly plant-based (vegan) diet.  I am frequently asked, "what do you eat?"  Many often assume that all I eat are salads, raw vegetables, and fruits.  Since adopting this lifestyle, I have come to know that is far from true.  In fact, with a [...]

If you follow me on Instagram then you probably saw that I teased you with a photo of these pancakes last Wednesday.  They looked and tasted so delicious that I just could not resist sharing a picture.  I also promised you that  I would be sharing the recipe this week.  I know I know, I made [...]

With the Christmas season in full-swing I have been busy lately, and this weekend was no different.  My brain has pretty much turned to mush after being on the go for the past 48 hours so let's keep this simple for the sake of both of us.  Sometimes I just do not feel like being [...]

Tofu, anyone?  No?  You don't like tofu?  Tofu scares you?  Tofu intimidates you?  Well, it is about time that we change that, don't you think?  With just a little bit of practice, you will come to find that tofu is actually super simple to prepare and it is also super delicious.  I love tofu baked by [...]
