Happy December, friends! The Christmas season is upon us, and I couldn’t be more excited! There’s just something about twinkle lights, Christmas trees, and yummy smells wafting from the kitchen that give me alllll the holiday feels. In my humble opinion, it really IS the most wonderful time of the year. 🙂

One of the special things of the season is being able to give gifts to those we love, just as Jesus gave Himself to us all those years ago. But I am a firm believer that gifting shouldn’t be stressful, overwhelming, or break the bank. With that in mind, I have compiled a list of 12 Christmas gift ideas that would be perfect for the foodies in your life!…

Our leaves are starting to change up north, and with our lows are dipping down into the 30s, I’ve been reaching for warmer, cozier meals the last few days. This One Pot Yellow Curry is a family favorite! Not only is it filling and delicious, it is quick and easy to customize. My favorite cuisine…

September may be here, but I’m not quite ready to let go of Summer yet… So here’s one hurrah for cookouts and warm weather comfort foods! These instant pot vegan baked beans are quick, easy, naturally sweetened, and FULL of flavor. Plus, they are a great dish for every season. From sunny summer picnics to…

This is it… These Vegan Coconut Pineapple Muffins are seriously the. best. muffins. I have ever had – and no, I’m not exaggerating. It’s like having a party in your mouth.

Everyone needs a go-to salad that can be made at a moment’s notice and pairs well with almost any meal, right? You’re in luck – this napa cabbage salad with lemon vinaigrette is just that kind of salad! A spin off of your more traditional creamy slaw, this cabbage salad is fresh, crunchy, slightly tangy,…

The begining of summer means many things: warm weather, longer days, gardens, running through sprinklers, and more. But one of my favorite things about the start of summer is strawberry season! And it isn’t really summer until you’ve made STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE, am I right?! If you thought that being plant based meant you had to miss…

Move over whipped cream, there’s someone new in town. Friends, allow me to introduce you to aquafaba. 😀 What is aquafaba, you might ask? It’s really just a fancy word for chickpea juice… Not exactly appealing. But truth be told, it’s amazing! It’s easy, cheap, has a neutral flavor (ie doesn’t taste like beans), and…

Hello friends! I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday weekend with your families. We have finally gotten some beautiful, sunny and warm days up north – and we couldn’t be happier! If you’re like me, you’d rather be outside in the sunshine than inside cooking. And if that’s the case, I have the perfect…

Hi friends! It’s been a while since I posted a recipe, and a lot has happened! Aside from the crazy virus taking it’s toll around the world right now, we also welcomed our third baby into our family in March! He is a sweet little boy, and his siblings just love him. 🙂 We are…

Happy Holidays, everyone! It’s officially countdown time to Christmas (one week!), and holiday baking is in full swing at our house. One of the things I’ve been mixing up a lot the last month is the recipe for these AMAZING Sweet and Salty Roasted Nuts! Oh my, you guys… Talk about melt-in-your-mouth crispy yumminess. This. is….

Hey everyone!! Summer was a little late in coming up north where we live, but the heatwave this weekend left no doubt in our mind that it has arrived. Add high humidity to the high temps, and it’s a wonder we didn’t all melt. Oh, and did I mention we don’t have air conditioning? Thankfully…
