A Cruelty-Free Day of Thanks
Let me start by saying that this post contains ZERO judgment or graphic animal cruelty videos. We are all at different states of awareness and rather than taking an extremist route by showing you heartbreaking clips or breaking down the cruelty (how it’s done), I’m going to share heartwarming stories, videos, and celebrate the brave…

Pumpkin Tapioca Pudding
Are you tired of pumpkin recipes? Not yet? Good! Because I have an insanely easy recipe for you today. I almost didn’t share it because it is so easy and tapioca pudding isn’t anything new, but my family enjoys this so much that I decided to type up a little post for it. I meant…

Baked Cinnamon Mini Donuts {AIP, Vegan}
Just when I thought gluten-free baking had its tricky moments, I dove head first into the grain-free, nut-free baking world and it is 100 times harder than I thought! So many failed attempts with either gummy textures or mushy. Upon researching, I learned that AIP baked goods, more often than not, produce a different texture…

Blender Vanilla Cake with Coconut-Raspberry Frosting

RECIPE: Red Velvet Mini Donuts
I love when recipes get created spontaneously and unexpectedly. Willow has been on a HUGE pink kick…I’m talking smoothies, clothes, and coloring everything pink. My favorite is when she drew a picture of our family and gave Josh pink hair. Last week she asked for pink donuts and at first I thought, “how in…

RECIPE: Raw Power Bites
I recently tried a fruity energy bite from the store the other day and while I really enjoyed it, I was bummed that they added some unnecessary ingredients. I couldn’t get the idea out of my head, so I ran straight to the kitchen and began to run some trials. If you don’t like dates,…

RECIPE: Rich, Creamy (Vegan) Hot Cocoa
After a day of sledding or snow fort building, there was nothing better than warming up to a mug of cocoa. For me, every time I sip on hot cocoa, I’m flooded with childhood memories of playing out in the snow and cold with my brother – and we’d come inside to hot cocoa with…
