~The absolute sweetest~ gluten free, vegan pumpkin bread recipe here. Made from a semi-unusual pumpkin variety… The “Cinderella”. I used this pumpkin for baking because it’s so caramel-y sweet. More like a yam than a pumpkin, actually. Cinderellas for baking: When we delivered a load of pumpkins to a couple in North Idaho last weekend we stood in their driveway and chatted about used for the pumpkins they chose. I… Keep Reading
Whip up restaurant quality enchiladas with butternut squash and Beyond meat using only FOUR main ingredients plus some spices. Basic has never smelled or tasted soo delicious… I considered adding a topping of, like, two pounds of vegan cheese or dollops of plant based sour cream, but there’s something about the simplicity of these that wins me over big time. Plus, there’s already a vegan alternative in the recipe (Beyond… Keep Reading
If you’re looking for a staple winter weeknight recipe, you found it. This is the easiest squash chili recipe you’ll find. I try to keep a focus on simple clean ingredients while utilizing prepared and canned foods for convenience purposes. Use what ingredients you will, but I’m opting to be slightly picky! Flashback to nine-ish years ago, pre-veganism: I was a wee little teen playing housewife at Griffin’s place. He… Keep Reading
How butternut squash ended up on grilled cheese: We grew hundreds of squash last year, and made it a point to eat every one. That meant getting creative with recipes! I think they lasted 10 months in our root cellar. That’s TEN months of cleaning* spaghetti after butternut after acorn after pumpkin after kabocha after delicata. You get the point. I’ve said it a million times when asked about zero-waste… Keep Reading
I started blogging years ago as a hobby, with little growth seen for years. When I decided to stay home full time I chose to invest my time in expanding my knowledge on blogging, e-commerce, and the general digital nomad land. The main thing I noticed when taking online courses, reading e-books, reading physical books, listening to podcasts, and talking with friends on the matter, was that everyone’s common source… Keep Reading
Some things have changed in our three years being vegan. A LOT has changed, actually. First of all, super delicious vegan meat and cheese alternatives have hit markets available to us. Our grocery bill has fluctuated through the years. Tons of restaurants are offering vegan options or plan to soon. We went from living two hours from a natural/health food store, to living one block away, to now living over… Keep Reading
One pan vegan Italian sausage bake. All the “wins” are right in the title. One pan, three base ingredients (the rest is optional), and 30 minutes. Fair price to pay for a cozy dinner for two! Griffin is committed to a frugivorous diet this winter, so I’ll be prepping lots of squash… If anyone has any cozy frugivore meals please enlighten… I think lots of savory jackfruit, coconut curry, and… Keep Reading
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. I can’t tell you where I got the recipe this one is based off of, because… Keep Reading
