  • REVIEW: January Favorites

    We had a few highlights during January – a good bit of snow early in the month, took Willow to use her snowshoes for the first time AND we got our fireplace running! Which meant we were finally able to keep our house heated above 60°! Not even kidding, our house was freezing – I’m…

  • 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…

  • 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: 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…

  • REVIEW: September Favorites

    Hello, friends! I don’t know about you, but September flew by faster than any month so far. Hard to believe that the holidays are fast approaching. You’ll be happy to hear that this post isn’t nearly as long as my Summer Favorites round-up! We didn’t try very many new products and my list of books…

  • REVIEW: April Favorites

    Happy May 1st!! It feels like April flew by faster than any other month – I’ve been busy trying to keep up with my independent, high-energy three-year old all while working on some major projects. With the weather warming up, we also spent most of our days outside hiking, rockhounding, exploring and pretty much just soaking up…

  • 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…
