  • 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…

  • REVIEW: November Favorites

    Happy December, my friends! I hope all of you who celebrated had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a cozy gathering at my parents with a 100% vegan feast. Happy bellies all around and no turkey was harmed. At the end of October, we “adopted” a turkey, again, via Farm Sanctuary. Willow chose Pamela… For those…

  • 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…

  • REVIEW: October Favorites

    I just love the month of October and I think it’s safe to say that it’s my favorite and I’m a bit sad that it’s already over! Perfect weather, beautiful colors, all things pumpkin and cozy sweaters. Just the other day, Willow came up to me and said, “October is fun to say!” So there…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Vegan Camping with a Toddler and Neurotic Dog

    ***If you have zero interest in reading about our actual adventure and only care to see what we packed (along with tips), please scroll to the end.
