Sugar Free Banana Bread (Giveaway)
A few months ago, I was very lucky to receive a package from NuNaturals, who make my favorite stevia. They sent me a very large variety of products, but I just wasn't ready to review them, as I had not gotten a chance to review what I found to be th...
Its Yum Yum
Vegan Yum Yum, that is. If you don't have Lauren Ulm's new book, you are missing out! Not only do the recipes all sound delicious, the full color photography is beautiful. Don't lie, you love when your cookbooks show awesome pictures of the food. ...
Pear Berry-Jam Muffins
I know that fall is synonymous with apples, but pears are really the fruit that has always done it for me. Since they aren't grown locally, their season is sort of muddled, but now is when they're on sale, and now is when Trader Joe's sells a 1/2 pe...
Quick Scones
I claim no responsibility for these. So when you make them and want to eat them all at once, its not my fault. It is all her fault. Her being Jacqueline from Sweet Beet and Green Bean. The delicious offender? Apricot Scones. Scones are one of...
Perfect Cookie
I take my cookies pretty seriously. While it is hard to have a bad one, some are definitely better than others. Well, I couldn’t sleep the other night, and without even looking for it, I stumbled upon the simplest vegan cookie recipe I have ever ...
Sweet Harvest Muffins
A lot of things have changed since I started this blog. My husband came back from Iraq, I moved, I completed my student teaching, I graduated. All good stuff. One not so good thing though, is that there is more of me. A little background, I'v...
Success?
Seriously, what makes a good brownie? Some people like them fudgey, some like them cakey. Personally, if I wanted cake, I'd eat cake...with frosting. Fudgey brownies are so moist and squishy, they don't really need frosting. Well, my husband...
Best Month Ever
If you aren't aware yet, I am here to let you know that March is the best month ever. If you are wondering why, I am kind of upset that no one took the time to stalk me and figure out when my birthday is. Okay, I'm not really upset (thank you, fo...
Just Because Its Vegan..
I have a confession to make. Since becoming vegan, I have put on a little bit of weight. I think. Maybe. Honestly, I don't really know how much I weighed when I started, but I don't feel awesome right now. Luckily, I guess, I am completely ...
Flashback to a Favorite
My mom is the cookie lady. She makes about 15 different kinds of cookies for Christmas every year. She doesn't like to cook, but she is the baking queen. So how could I not grow up with a favorite cookie? Of course I did. Enter the Oatmeal ...
How to Have a Great Cook-In
The first step to having a Great Cook-In is to get your significant other out of the house. Okay, he or she can stay if they want, but if they happen to be hiking in ridiculously cold weather with their friends, and your friend comes over instead, ...
Muffin Beginnings
Hey hey people! First, I want to tell you about, first is some of the bars I've tried recently. The picture may look familiar because I posted about them a few days ago, when I was having the Perfect Day.So, the Bumble Bar. I had the Luscious ...
Peanut Butter Cookie Monster
I love dessert. I love eating dessert. I love the idea of making my own dessert creations. Truth be told, however, I rarely actually do that. I would much rather search for a recipe, be inspired by a blog post, or buy a cookbook by someone wh...
Seven Pound Vegan
Christmas is in less than a week! Incredible! I am going down to my in-laws tomorrow and had to finish that shopping today. Shopping is exhausting. Anyway, I ended up with a lot of food today. I made some bread, then made dinner for my fami...
Getting Figgy
I spent most of today working on a big project I have to present to my professor in a one on one meeting Thursday. I also have class from 4:30 to 10:15 on Tuesday nights, so it was a busy day. I packed myself dinner, which was red lentils, brow...
Chai and Cookies
Today was annoying. That's really the only way I can put it. I did get a run in this morning, 4 miles...4 FREEZING miles. My legs were bright red when I got home, and I was wearing two pairs of pants. After I work out, no matter if I am runni...
