I had such an amazing weekend! It was full of baking, yoga, and window shopping. I pretty much do yoga every day anyway, but in May, my goal is to practice every single day and post a photo as proof. So far I have these: Legs up the wall, dancer, crow, and mermaid. To get … Continue reading Weekend Update – Home Depot, HomeGoods, and Lots of Food!
Recipe: Peanut Butter Protein Cookies
These cookies are really delicious and they're healthy! They're a cross between an oatmeal raisin cookie and a peanut butter cookie. You can add in raisins and chocolate chips if you like, or leave them out if you don't. There's no added sugar in these. The sweetness comes from the banana. I prefer to use … Continue reading Recipe: Peanut Butter Protein Cookies
Vitacost Haul
This is only my second order from Vitacost, so I won't say I'm obsessed yet, but I love the huge selection of beauty products. I'd say they have a bigger selection and cheaper prices than Amazon when it comes to natural hair care and makeup products. I have a recurring order of vitamins for everyone. … Continue reading Vitacost Haul
Raspberry Cheesecake
As a vegan, it's always a little weird going to people's houses for meals, especially big holiday gatherings. There's a fine line between politely declining something, and seeming like a snob. I always get a little nervous, just because I don't want people to think I'm being pretentious, and I also don't want anyone to … Continue reading Raspberry Cheesecake
What I Ate Wednesday
The first thing I had was a glass of strawberry kombucha. And then one strawberry and pineapple smoothie (almond milk, pineapple, strawberry, chia seeds, Sun Warrior vanilla protein powder). I took my vitamin and spirulina with two full bottles of water. I made a batch of mostly raw 'kitchen sink' cookies. The base is made … Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday
What I Ate Wednesday
I started the day off with some blackberry kombucha. I've been brewing it at home, and I bottle it in old bottles I've saved. Then I took my multivitamin (not pictured) and 6 spirulina tablets. I had a mixed berry chocolate protein shake. It was 1/2 frozen banana, 8 oz of almond milk, 1 scoop … Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday
Recipe: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
This is one of my favorite desserts because it's so easy. This weekend we had peanut butter chocolate chip, but the possibilities are endless. For Valentine's Day I made a Cherry Garcia flavor with frozen bananas, frozen cherries, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. We always have bananas in the freezer, just in case, but they … Continue reading Recipe: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Recipe: Raw Fig Bars
This recipe is for raw fig bars. First, because I used to love Fig Newton's as a kid (maybe because in my mind I thought they were healthy), and second because once I tried a raw fig bar from One Lucky Duck, my life changed. Just thinking about them gets my mouth watering, and they … Continue reading Recipe: Raw Fig Bars

Attack of the Killer Ivy!
This past week we've been trying to get some minor things done around the yard. We're *still* raking leaves, cleaning up branches, trying to get rid of a stump, and contemplating what to do with all the ivy we have. I didn't even notice the stump since it's pretty flush to the ground, but apparently … Continue reading Attack of the Killer Ivy!
