  • RECIPE: Triple Chocolate Peppermint Brownies

      When my friend Angela, over at Canned Time, invited me to be a part of the Family Favorites Dessert series, I was over the moon and excited for my chance to try NuNaturals Stevia products. So, thank you, Angela, for the opportunity and challenge. I knew that my dessert had to be something super…

  • RECIPE: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

    In my personal opinion, one can never have too many chocolate chip cookie recipes. There are SO many different variations with flours, textures, flavors and sweetness levels AND each one is delicious in their own way. I shared a sneak peek of this recipe on Instagram and decided to run one last trial and I’m…

  • RECIPE: Baked Chocolate Earl Grey Mini Donuts

    Who’s ready for another donut recipe?! This may or may not be the last one I share for a while…we’ll see. I’ve been eating WAY TOO many sweets lately – one of the downfalls to running trials for dessert recipes. So, I’m thinking I’ll focus on savory after this 😉 If you follow me on…

  • RECIPE: Baked Coconut Pecan Mini Donuts with Cinnamon-Maple Sugar

    How many of you actually love your job? I’m talking passionate, happy, excited and motivated by the life you’ve chosen. Sadly, I don’t know too many people who would raise their hands. The last paying job (early 2010) I had just about broke me. I was at an all-time low – physically falling apart with numerous ailments,…

  • RECIPE: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

    It’s the season of all things PUMPKIN!!! My absolute favorite time of year. Crisp air, leaves changing, apples galore and cozy sweaters. And BAKING! After a few months of very limited oven use, we make the switch to roasted veggies, potatoes and LOTS of baked goods…such as cookies. I had this vision in my head…

  • RECIPE: Chocolate Toffee Oats

    Last week, I accidentally created a new sauce recipe and we’ve been hooked on it ever since. I set out to create a caramel sauce, but after asking Josh to try it, we decided it tasted more like toffee…totally not complaining. It has a bold, rich flavor, but unlike the typical cooking process of caramel…

  • RECIPE: Chocolate Sprouted Rice Crisps

    Last week my mom found a recipe for Chocolate Crunch through Pinterest, but we played around with the recipe to eliminate the use of oil/butter (the original recipe called for a stick of butter) and keep the ingredient list short and sweet. The end result was melt-in-your mouth delicious! Chances are, you already have two of the ingredients in your…

  • RECIPE REVIEW: The Vegan 8 Baking Day {aka International ‘Baking’ Day}

    So, it wasn’t actually International Baking Day. In fact, it was International Bacon Day, but my mom misunderstood me and the entire day thought it was International Baking Day. Maybe you had to be there, but I found it rather humorous. I personally find it disgusting that such a day actually exists – not just…

  • RECIPE: Raw Tahini Cups

    It’s officially summer here in Bend, OR…and when you don’t have air conditioning, that pretty much means, no oven. My sweet tooth kicked in big time a few days ago, so rather than baking cookies, I opted to experiment with making some raw treats. Our love for tahini has grown even more over this last year,…

  • Raw Superfood “Blizzard” Recipe

    Raw Superfood “Blizzard” Recipe

    For those who follow my blog and don’t know me personally,  I apologize for my absence – it has been a crazy few months. From house hunting, to celebrating my daughter’s 2nd birthday, to actually buying our first home, my mind has been elsewhere, but the rollercoaster of emotions has been incredible!  I put blogging on…
