If there’s anything I hate the most about winter (besides for unending inability to feel my toes and always wearing ice-conscious footwear), is all the colds that are constantly being passed around. In one winter, I usually get one cold/flu/something…
Candied Ginger and Vegan Cranberry Scones
I used to have kind of an aversion to vegan cranberry scones (I know, I know!) because the ones I had sampled previously were hard, flavorless and probably a few too many days old for my high-standard for baking tastes….
Red Pepper Bruschetta with Roasted Garlic Vegan Ricotta
Let’s do savory today! Sweets are nice, but when you are trying to fit into a kind of form fitting wedding dress (one month to go!!), you have to go with the savory side of things. I tend to shy…
Dark Chocolate Banana Bread Granola
I was sipping wine with another blogger friend earlier in the week (Hi Erin!) and we were discussing how we just weren’t ready for this season to end. Yes, it might be 90 degrees and humid as all get out,…
Vegan Dark Chocolate Stout Banana Bread
A few weeks ago we had Friday night dinner at a new-ish pub around the corner from our house, since AJ wanted a Friday night fish fry and the brewery with the famous fish fry across the river was just a…
Basil Citrus Salad with Balsamic Jam Dressing
This citrus salad makes me feel like it’s the perfect cross between what winter has brought us (citrus and a lot of negative wind chills) and what is in store for spring (so much more produce and weather that doesn’t…

Toasted Oat and Blueberry Smoothie
I initially started out with no idea how this smoothie was going to pan out. I knew I had berries in the freezer, oats I wanted to toast, and I needed a pre-breakfast snack STAT. Basically I was just throwing…
White Bean Dip with Garlic Rubbed Toasts
This white bean dip had a definite process of getting it juuuust right. Too much Old Bay, not enough, too many white beans, you know the drill. Then finally, I last minute decided to add in a new to me ingredient, hearts…
Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins (Oil-free)
Muffins have always been one of those ‘so-so’ items for me, like, if given a choice, would I choose a muffin or a croissant? Most likely, I would choose a croissant based on the crumb factor. Usually, muffins don’t make…
Vegan Spicy Cheese Ball with Sriracha and Lime
Cool lime and peppery sriracha combine in this spicy cheese ball recipe to create a perfect party appetizer or snack. Bonus: it’s vegan! Lately, I’ve been on the search for an easy, fast vegan cheese. A lot of recipes I’ve…
