Breakfast was 1 banana, half a chocolate cherry chia protein shake, 2 slices of bread with almond butter and cinnamon, and a large cup of half coffee/half vanilla almond milk. I tend to eat larger breakfasts and then graze during the day...sometimes on healthy stuff. Snacks were a few organic animal crackers with vegan chocolate … Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday

Homemade Almond Milk: Round One
I've been wanting to make homemade nut milk for a while, but it seemed like it wouldn't be cost effective since nuts are so expensive. I found a bunch of different recipes, some make homemade twice as much as store bought, and some would make it slightly less. I usually buy Almond Breeze because it … Continue reading Homemade Almond Milk: Round One
Birthday Weekend
Friday was my birthday and I had a bunch of great surprises. The hallway is offically almost done (for now). I still need to touch up the ceiling where I got purple...I mean "grey" on the white. But I reinstalled the doorbell, which has been off since we moved in. My parents came for the … Continue reading Birthday Weekend
My Favorite Greek Breakfast Pastry
About this time 7 years ago I was prepping for my first trip to Europe. I was so excited and so incredibly nervous. I was going to Greece to study abroad for 4 months. I didn't know anyone else going, and I had barely left the country before (except for a walk across the border … Continue reading My Favorite Greek Breakfast Pastry
Christmas Food
This year since we were going around to a million different houses for Christmas day, we had a nice Christmas Eve dinner at the house. We had our annual Christmas veggie tree. And Cheddar Bay Biscuits. And a baked ziti. This year we had gingerbread cookies. This recipe came out awesome (also the best vegan cutout cookie recipe … Continue reading Christmas Food
Asian Inspired Stuffed Mushrooms
The only thing I had my heart set on for Thanksgiving was stuffed mushrooms. My mom used to make them for all the holidays and I love them pretty much no matter how they're made. So when my husband said he wanted sushi for Thanksgiving I was still determined to have my stuffed mushrooms. I … Continue reading Asian Inspired Stuffed Mushrooms

The Pumpkin Pie You *Have* To Make
This pumpkin pie is vegan and gluten free, but if you put it on the table at Thanksgiving, I promise no one will complain that it's missing anything. I was never a huge pumpkin pie fan because I always had pie with that canned pie filling. This pie has more of a rustic taste to … Continue reading The Pumpkin Pie You *Have* To Make
Mint Chocolate Chip Brownies
This is another simple recipe. There's only a few ingredients and I think it's pretty fool proof. These could be eaten plain as brownies, or topped with a mint icing as cupcakes. We opted to top them with So Delicious Mint Chip ice cream and were not disappointed. Makes 12 brownie/cupcakes: 1 cup flour … Continue reading Mint Chocolate Chip Brownies
Blueberry Muffins with Walnut Pecan Crumb Topping
I made these this past weekend, spur of the moment, since we had frozen blueberries and I just got a cute silicone heart mold (on sale). My favorite baking pan has been the donut one, hands down, because I can make anything and call it a donut and it instantly becomes more awesome. Now I … Continue reading Blueberry Muffins with Walnut Pecan Crumb Topping
