Mostly Vegan, Gluten-Free Recipes
Have I got a delicious cookie recipe for you! We are now in peak zucchini and blueberry growing season where I’m at, and while I am not growing any blueberries, I am definitely growing lots of zucchini. I am looking for interesting and creative ways…
These vegan blueberry zucchini cupcakes are my absolute favorite! The flavor profile is based on my vegan and gluten-free blueberry zucchini oatmeal cookies, with the addition of a vegan lemon buttercream frosting (because why not?!). YUM! These cupcakes are light in taste and texture, with…
In one of the many food facebook groups I am a part of, I saw people posting about a new Key Lime flavored dessert hummus. Knowing that these things run about $4-5 a container, I decided to see if I could make my own at…
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…

Lately, I’ve been getting sick of sandwiches. I pretty much choose the same deli meats over and over and just swap out the toppings and condiments. In looking for something a little different, I decided that I wanted to incorporate my slow cooker into my…
Out of all the recipes I am going to put on my food blog, this one brings back the fondest memories of my Icelandic travels. If you could only travel to one place in the world, and you love silence and beautiful geography, I would…
Tabbouleh (also spelled tabouli) is a very nutritious and cooling Arabic side dish that is great in the spring and summer. It is typically served alongside other main dishes such as kibbeh or shish kabobs. With the exception of the quinoa in this dish, the…
Banana bread is one of my favorite quick breads. It’s easy to make, delicious, has a soft crumb, and reminds me of my childhood. Heck, this vegan gluten-free banana bread is so simple to make, you could even bake one on a weeknight! Whenever I…
For those that have never heard of the famous DoubleTree chocolate chip cookies, they are the absolute best. I had one once, at a DoubleTree in downtown Houston. I was there to interview for an engineering job, and after checking in at the front desk…
Parsley is one of my favorite herbs to grow, because it is so easy. When I first started gardening, it was one of the first herbs I planted. It grows very fast, and it’s very forgiving (unlike basil…). The yield of parsley was so high,…
Sooooooooooo, tomatoes are not my favorite food in the world. In fact, I think they are pretty gross. This is ironic, given how I really like ketchup and marinara sauce. The only way I can eat a raw tomato is if I slice it really…
Growing, harvesting, and drying fresh herbs is easier than most people think. After getting into drying fresh herbs a few years ago, I’ll likely never buy dried herbs again. I mean, just look at the difference in color between the dried oregano from my garden…
I recently came across Texas sheet cake cookies on Facebook and thought they looked rather interesting. AND, rather surprisingly, it’s a cookie I’ve never had before. Chocolate fudgy cookies with a chocolate glaze? Yes ma’am, sign me up! While a lot of recipes use a…
These homemade crescent rolls are fluffy and light, filled with lots of air pockets begging to be soaked in butter. Without any strange ingredients, they are healthier than the artificial ones bought from the store. Homemade crescent rolls are a bit of work, but I…
