Rich Chocolate Quinoa Cake with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
After my race on Saturday, we rushed home so I could make a birthday cake for my dad. One of my infamous dairy-free recipes that wins the hearts of everyone who tastes it. For real. I had originally planned to make Angela’s no bake version of her Chilled Double Chocolate Torte, but the avocados I…
Vegan Sour cream & Chive Bacon Kale Chips
Oh.my.kale. Kale is one of those foods that many people shy away from because it’s green, looks like seaweed, and tastes funny on it’s own. Or, wait, that’s why I used to shy away from it. But nonetheless, there have to be others that feel that way, right? I was a kale hater until I…
Corn-free Nachos with Tasty Toppings + Mojito Drops Dessert
I may or may not be on a major Mexican kick right now. I can’t seem to get guacamole + fresh salsa in my tummy fast enough. In school, we learned quickly that when we didn’t know the answer to a question like, “list 5 foods that have Vitamin E”, or “List 3 foods that…
Strawberry Cinnamon Shortcake Sandwiches
I swear this totally constitutes as a breakfast item. Before I started the blog I wasn’t fully aware of my love for breakfast. Now that I have a recipe page that documents my daily eats, it’s clear to see that early morning eating is the way to my heart. Shortcakecut to my heart? These little…

I wish I could say that I’ve played an instrumental role in the building of our fence, but I’d be lying. Although I did cook up some mean deer sausages for Kevin last night, so that has to count for something. …. right? I can’t believe how much they’ve gotten done in just 4 days….

By the end of the week we should have a fence, full deck [with stairs!], grass, trees, and a fire pit! Before: Progress: Stopping for a much needed Corona. I couldn’t be more excited to finally…
Healthier (and cheaper) Iced Cappuccino
If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, then you know that I don’t necessarily support the amount of coffee our society drinks. At over 400 billion cups consumed per year, coffee is the most popular drink in the world. Sadly, it shouldn’t be like this. In large amounts, coffee… reduces fertility. More than one…
Dinner in 10: Jalapeno Chicken Quesadilla
How is it June already? Are you enjoying the same nice weather that we’ve been having these last couple of days? I am so happy I ended up extending my vacation by a couple of days in hopes of getting caught up on things. I’ve been busy cleaning the house, putting away laundry [it never…
Blueberry Banana Cake Bars
I’m back! Boy, did I miss you guys [and my kitchen]. Don’t let that fool you though, I still cooked up a storm while we were away. I am [still] uploading all of our pictures and videos from the trip, and plan to share them with you tomorrow. I managed to make these snack bars…
