I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and that you Mothers had an amazing Mother’s Day!! The weather yesterday was gorgeous, but boy are allergies kicking in for everyone this year. Almost everyone I know is showing symptoms of seasonal allergies. I think vitamin C is miraculous stuff, and recently I also learned vitamin

Gluten Free Banana Bread
Gluten free baking can be really tricky. It’s tough to get the right texture, and not use a ton of weird ingredients. When I took the first bite of this one, I was doing a happy dance. This week has been a little tough, and nothing quite says comfort like banana bread. Something about it

Honey Almond Cakes (November Cakes)
When I read my fantasy/young adult/romance books, I always seems to notice the food. I realize it’s already pretty weird that I am obsessed with these books (that are clearly intended for people younger than me – I mean they are called young adult, not full blown adult lady novels) but it’s another one of

Vegan Frozen Hot Chocolate
I love chocolate. I think it loves me back. I like to imagine it does… I have totally mentioned it a bunch, so I hope I don’t sound like a broken record. If I do, just give me a good shake (seriously I didn’t intend that pun) and I will cut it out. Anyway, Hubby

Vegan Chocolate and Berry Trifle
I have something to admit… I really love superhero movies. Hubby and I had a relaxing, low key weekend that included the watching of a bunch of superhero movies (Thor, The Avengers, and the like). Although I did fall asleep during The Avengers, it was late and I had already seen it. And we watched

Cherry Garcia Yogurt (Vegan Option)
Ice cream is amazing. It’s just a fact of life. It’s why some people try to pretend like going on an ice cream only diet is a good idea. I mean it does sound awesome! But you know what’s also awesome? Enjoying your favorite flavors in a way that is easy and you can make

Healthy Thin Mint Smoothie
The motto “everything is better with chocolate” definitely applies here. Think Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, Thin Mints, Junior Mints, mint and chocolate just seem to have a long history of companionship!! I was originally going to try my hand at a Shamrock Shake (though I have never actually had one, I can imagine it just

Winter Fruit Salad
Even though it’s snowing here, and has been pretty chilly this week, I am still starting to shift toward incorporating some lighter foods. And this week Hubby and I have been trying to avoid most sugars. Fruit salad has been such a wonderful way to end the night on a sweet note!! I was actually

Pecan Turtle Chia Pudding
When all else fails, make chia pudding!! I mentioned on facebook how I was working on a brownie recipe for Valentine’s Day. After several attempts it’s still not perfect, and I won’t post it until I think its just exactly right. So plan b? This pudding!! And actually, it’s a whole lot easier and a

Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Smoothie
Nothing says Valentine’s Day quite like chocolate. I am all for any holiday that encourages me to eat lots of chocolate, and encourages others to buy me chocolate. Win, win right? If you are married, in a relationship or unattached this Valentine’s Day, this recipe is for you. You can feel good about drinking it
