Oliver has always loved his Banana Oat Pancakes with his cereal every morning but two weeks ago he suddenly started refusing to eat them. I'm used to thinking on my feet (I was an elementary school teacher for almost 8 years) but this time I didn't have to because another breakfast idea was staring at me in the face, literally! Daniel's All Bran Flakes box had a recipe for bran muffins on it so I did what I do best and adapted the recipe to make them vegan and used apple pieces as the fruit ... View the Post
4 Ingredient Chocolate Peppermint Bars: Vegan + Gluten Free
I have loved experimenting with food photography and food styling this last year. I can't believe how much practice really makes progress. It helps that I follow killer food photography gurus like #minimalistbaker and #veggiekins. I absolutely love seeing how other people photograph their food and drinks and get inspiration from them. I look back on the first food photos and even some recently that I just have to laugh and shake my head. I'm not embarrassed, because everyone has to start ... View the Post
How to go Vegan: 5 tips for going vegan
Welcome to 2019 - the year of the vegan (apparently!). It's officially #Veganuary (vegan in January) and a few people have reached out to me to say they are trying to add more vegan meals to their diet so I thought get a post together with some resources that might help. What a great way to start off the year with adding some plant-based meals to your plate. And I do want to say that it is easy to get into the mindset of thinking, "What can't I have as a vegan?" but being vegan for me is truly ... View the Post
Christmas Sugar Cookie Recipe + National Cookie Day
Happy belated National Cookie Day! I can't believe almost every day is National something-or-other-day. I should keep up and save the food holidays on my cell, but I just haven't done that yet! It might give me an excuse to make things I haven't tried before like donuts, brownies, or spaghetti! Who decides on those days anyway? I am so glad that I saw it was National Cookie Day because I was nudged to bake some vegan sugar cookies, my first ever! Actually, I might have baked some when I was ... View the Post
Homemade Hot Apple Cider
How many times do you find yourself looking at the ingredients of something and think, "I can make that myself!?" I do that a lot!!! So, I usually take a picture of the ingredients, write them on my list for the next grocery shop, and find recipes or try make one up. I decided to do that for apple cider because A) I knew my house would smell amazing with apples bubbling in the slow cooker, and B)"Tis the season. I absolutely love all the different seasons because I get to eat and drink ... View the Post
Vegan Apple Cobbler
I honestly can't believe I had to remake a recipe and take out sugar because it was too sweet!!!! Who am I??? I had an incredibly sweet tooth growing up (mostly for chocolate bars, cakes, ice-cream etc.) but becoming a vegan really helped me because I can't just buy a candy bar (or three) in the "isle of temptation" as I check out of the grocery store. I have to go home and bake a treat if I want something yummy and vegan, unless I am at Whole Foods which is not a good idea for our budget so I ... View the Post
Vegan Thanksgiving Menu + Adopt a Turkey
With turkey as the main dish, you can see why Thanksgiving isn't high on the list of my favorite holidays, never mind the devastation during colonization BUT...I'm not here to put a dampener on your week, I'm actually excited to put together some vegan Thanksgiving options for you and me to make. Aaaand...I adopted a turkey for the first time so I had to share! Gerda was rescued by Farm Sanctuary and is now a factory farm survivor eating and living merrily. Click here to adopt a turkey and help ... View the Post
The Joyful Vegan’s Mediterranean Olive Bread
I've always been a little nervous to bake bread so when I found this recipe I thought it was a good place to start before getting out the yeast. Obviously if I had one of those KitchenAid mixers (can someone say "Christmas wishlist?") I would be way less intimidated by making my own bread, but I need to just put my big girl panties on and give the old fashioned bread a chance! I made some sourdough with a friend, who had her own starter, and that was so much fun, so I know I can do it! Let's say ... View the Post
Creamy Wild Mushroom Soup: Easy Slow-Cooker Meal
When I create my own recipes, I find myself torn between naming them what they are or adding "vegan" in the title. I'm sure by now you know that all my recipes are vegan so it seems silly to say it in every recipe, but I also want to make sure that if anyone is specifically looking for a "vegan soup," mine comes up in their search. I know how many times I've searched for vegan recipes using the word 'vegan' and it's been so helpful but it seems redundant. So what do you think? Should this ... View the Post
Morning Glory Muffins: Healthy + Vegan
I put "healthy + vegan" in the title because not all vegan food is healthy (as seen on my Instagram feed #oops) but I do obviously like healthy food like these muffins that are perfect for a snack or breakfast alternative. I have muffin mania at the moment as they are so easy to make and Oliver doesn't make as huge a mess with them(compared to watermelon) so they are easy to pack in his diaper bag for when he goes to childcare or take on a picnic. It is also a great way to get an extra boost ... View the Post
