These fall harvest granola bars were a spur of the moment idea I had, inspired by a Bob’s Red Mill ad for quinoa granola bars. I just saw the colors in the ad’s recipe and knew I’d recreate them eventually. When “eventually” arrived, Danika of Danika Lynn Co. and I planned a cooking/lifestyle shoot I saw this as not only my opportunity to test my recipe idea but to also… Keep Reading

This sweet potato pizza is a cold weather recipe if I’ve ever seen one. Warm caramelized sweet potato pieces, savory tofu ricotta, and my secret ingredient pizza sauce all smothered on a toasty from-scratch crust. I don’t know what the weathers like as you’re reading this, but if it’s chilly outside I bet you just realized this is exactly what you didn’t know you needed! I intended for this to… Keep Reading

I decorated my cutout cookies with plain white icing spread across the entire cookie again, plain and simple. It’s probably the third year in a row I’ve done that, and I started wondering why I like colored Christmas lights and minimally decorated cookies, while others like white Christmas lights and colorfully decorated cookies… Hmmmm.

Hopefully this takes some of that elbow grease out for you and you can keep that money you’d have spent trial-ing “the best” products (that are never as good as they claim). I had some major… Keep Reading

  Of all the dozens of plants we are gardening this year, these tomatoes from Floret are my faaaaavorite. They’re so rich and flavorful and unique, but on top of all that they’re so easy to grow and they fruit like crazy! I started them all inside really early….. like, March early… Which is insane for the PNW unless you have a greenhouse. Oops, guess I was a little over… Keep Reading

Before we get started here I just want to say thanks so much to Coconut Bliss for sponsoring this post! I basically indulged in some Coconut Bliss between every meal in Hawaii, because… vacation, right?! Now to get to business… Let’s talk food! I traveled to Hawaii with my non-vegan family and dining together in strange places took a little patience and planning, so here’s what I ate! : I… Keep Reading
