Silk Almondmilk + {Vegan Banana Nut Muffins}

You may (or may not) have noticed that a LOT of my recipes use almondmilk. When Babycakes was born I made the conscious decision that after a year of breast-feeding, her primary "milk" would be almondmilk, not cows' milk. I also never gave her rice cereal, but that's a whole different story!

Feeling Lovely + {Chocolate Covered Strawberries Bread}

I think I'm going to get a little deep today.  The truth is, I don't feel particularly lovely lately...which makes it hard to accept love and kindness and compliments from others. In one ear, a big smirk, then out the other.  I've been all shapes and sizes along the way, and yet I struggle at all of them to truly love myself and my body. In those moments of struggle, I try to focus on the positive and think of 3 or 4 things I truly love about myself at that moment. Here goes: ...

The Vegan Debate + {Cranberry Banana Bread}

It wasn't a philosophical debate about whether to be vegan. No, I had an internal debate over the word "vegan" this weekend. Put it in the blog post title, or no????? Call the recipe "vegan"? I know that some of you may see the word vegan + baking and go running the other way. Please don't!! Just because there's no eggs and no dairy doesn't mean it's weird or doesn't taste good. Actually it's quite the opposite. ... Read more » about The Vegan Debate + {Cranberry Banana Bread}

Nourishing Fall Favorites + {Pumpkin Pancakes}

Noticing a lot of pumpkin recipes in the blogosphere?  The truth is, I love pumpkin and bought multiple gigantic cans that are three and a half cups of pure pumpkin each!  I used 3/4 cup in Monday's Vegan Pumpkin Muffins, another 3/4 cup in these pancakes, and will have plenty left for white chocolate pumpkin pie bites and more.  That is what I call a stellar week! And I also created a special Pinterest board called "Nourishing Fall Favorites" that includes ... Read more » about Nourishing Fall Favorites + {Pumpkin Pancakes}

Noosa Giveaway + #glutenfree {Blueberry Muffins}

Can I just tell you that we are REALLY enjoying mountain living this summer? I know, I know...the winters are worse; but in a way they weren't. The roads were better maintained, the traffic was less dense, and my schedule was more flexible on those really snowy days. Anyways, who wants to think about or much less talk about winter right now?!?! Not me! Summer is winding down with the start of school tomorrow, but the weather is still amazingly warm. ...
