I have yet to meet a person that doesn’t enjoy Reese’s peanut butter eggs, trees, or pumpkins (can you tell how much I love these?!?). For me personally, they are my favorite holiday treat, and I buy tons of them as soon as they hit …
Carrot cake anything, is actually one of my favorite flavors for cakes and cupcakes. It’s a staple around Easter time, yet the spices remind me of my favorite season to come, Fall. As I am trying to eat vegan and gluten-free for health reasons, I …
Yes, I know there are a ZILLION chili recipes on the internet. Thought I’d toss mine into the ring! I find chili to be pretty difficult to nail, taste-wise. I have tried several different recipes, and haven’t been able to find one that I really …
This chocolate avocado mousse is really good. Even I, as someone who thinks avocados are pretty gross, can even enjoy them! Like my dark chocolate avocado brownies, the taste of the avocado is pretty well hidden. So if you want to eat more avocados and …
This tuna rice casserole is an updated and modified version of a family recipe. It’s a very easy recipe to make, and one that is good to have in your repertoire when you’re needing something easy and fast to feed your family. I also like …
These chocolate chip bagels are GOOD. The first time I ever had a chocolate chip bagel was from Einstein’s Bagels as an undergrad. We had one on campus that I used to frequent on the weekends. My go-to breakfast was a chocolate chip bagel with …
Deseeding a pomegranate can be a tricky and very messy task. I used to do it on the counter top, and juice would splatter everywhere as I pried the seeds away from the pith and membrane. After experimenting with different methods, I have found the …

I LOVE cinnamon sugar roasted pumpkin seeds! They are very filling, and they make your house smell amazing when they are roasting. And honestly, I think cinnamon sugar is the best seasoning for pumpkin seeds. I also like the idea of reducing how much of …
I don’t know about you all, but a canned pumpkin shortage was definitely not on my 2020 bingo card. I’ve been reading about shortages, and so I thought I’d do a quick post on how to make pumpkin puree from scratch. Thankfully, roasting and pureeing …
Vegan zucchini bread is one of my favorite quick breads to make because it’s easy, it has so much flavor, and I can eat it for breakfast. It’s also a good way to sneak in some vegetables ;). I usually grow zucchini every year in …
This vegan lemon buttercream frosting is DIVINE. I recently created a new cupcake, vegan and gluten-free blueberry zucchini cupcakes (with a surprise spice!) and I needed a frosting to go with them. I was originally going to post the recipe as a muffin recipe but …
