I’ve been on a bit of a decadent banana breakfast kick lately. Last weekend I made banana french toast and this weekend I made both these oatmeal banana pancakes and peanut butter banana breakfast rolls (recipe coming soon!). I’m not normally so into bananas, but they’re cheap, delicious, and easy to keep around the house. […]

I know it’s no where near bell pepper season, but I crave stuffed peppers all year round. I like them a few different ways: fake meat and rice, chili and cornbread, full of veggies and tomato sauce– all are good choices! My sister and dad mentioned last week that they were going to make chicken […]

After a week of particularly bad eating (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Halloween… the usual suspects), I like to get back on track with a vegan week. Being vegan isn’t so bad: until you remember cheese. This definitely isn’t a vegan week– in fact, my grocery bill was probably 50% cheese this week (Hello, pound of gouda!), but […]

Breakfast has always been my favorite meal of the day. Lazy weekend breakfasts are even better, especially when they’re carby and covered in syrup. While pancakes will probably be my favorite forever, sometimes I just really want french toast. I don’t often keep eggs in the house, so most of my french toast recipes end […]

*Photos updated 1/20/2014* Snow day! Here in Michigan, there is easily a foot of snow in my driveway this morning! Crazy. I shoveled my way out to the road, only to find that the snow is so deep, even if I shoveled out my driveway, the bottom of my car can’t physically clear the height […]

Did you watch the Super Bowl yesterday? I definitely did not! I did briefly tune in to the Puppy bowl and the kitty halftime show though and ate a lot of snacks!… Anyway, onto today’s recipe. I’m very late to the buffalo sauce game. I have never been able to do spicy, just looking at […]

*Pictures Updated on 8/15/13 with Easy Whole Wheat Bread* White chicken chili has always looked like something I’d want to eat– if only it didn’t have chicken. It’s creamy, smells a little spicy, and looks so comforting! Not knowing what it actually tastes like, I had to start with recipes I found online and tweak […]

Let’s put one thing out there, donuts are delicious. I have a friend who can’t have gluten and if you put her in any hypothetical or imaginary situation, her first response is “I would eat a donut”. I was already working on a healthy baked donut recipe, so I decided to make it gluten free […]

For some reason, Valentine’s day always means cherry flavored everything. I’m a big fan of the fake-tasting cherry chip boxed cake mix, though I don’t really like to admit it. I took the idea of a cherry cupcake and ran with it, all the way to a real-cherry-tasting muffin. This recipe uses flax in place […]

My sister and a few friends avoid gluten for various reasons and I strive to make most baked goods vegan. The result is a lot of overly complicated recipes that never seem to have the right texture. Using vinegar seems a little scary– strong smell, strong flavor– but neither carry through to the final product […]
