I am in love with these muffins. They’re sweet, they’re tasty, AND their miniature. I love making mini muffins because they’re the perfect size for my snacking toddler, and they let me fulfill a craving without completely blowing the day’s caloric intake. If you’re not eating them right out of the oven (which you will, trust me), pop it in the microwave for about 7 seconds to warm them u

I love am obsessed with pumpkin. This is my newest go-to pumpkin breakfast for fall, and it’s so good it could even pass for a dessert.

Sweet meets tart in this recipe for my Vegan Apple Crumble with Pear and Cranberry. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also versatile. Don’t like cranberries? Substitute raisins or cherries. Don’t have vegan butter? Try using coconut oil. Old fashioned oats a bit crunchy for your liking? Try quick cooking oats. Mix in a cup of chopped nuts for added crunch and protein if you’d like. It’s

I’m trying to ease my family into a more plant based diet, and one vegetable I seem to gravitate toward often is eggplant (my husband isn’t a fan). I was trying to come up with an inventive way for all of us to enjoy it when I whipped up this dinner. The result was surprisingly satisfying, fresh as could be, and it earned me “that was tasty and interesting” from the Mr (much better than the us

Dairy free mamas rejoice! A new dairy free cheese alternative is about to hit the market, and we all have great reason to be excited. I recently had the delicious opportunity to taste some samples of Nutty Cow Cheese, and I have to agree with the tagline; this IS crazy good nut cheese. I’ve had my fair share of cheese alternatives, and this is now truly one of my favorite brands. First up, the maple pecan: This

Spring is right around the corner, and when I think Spring I think lemon. Lemonade, lemon pudding, lemon sorbet…I love lemon. I love lemon even more when paired with blueberries, and a blueberry lemon muffin is heavenly in my book. This muffin is moist, flavorful, and carries that fresh lemon flavor that just sings Spring to your taste buds. Makes 12 muffins 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking

Who doesn’t love a good peanut butter cup? These mini cups are dairy free, vegan, and can easily be adapted for anyone with nut allergies. They’re perfect for kids parties and holidays (Valentine’s, Easter, Halloween). They’re super easy to make, and the best part is that the recipe makes 3 dozen, which gives you plenty to freeze for future cravings. For the filling: 1/2 cup creamy all natural

I got this idea from a picture that I recently saw on Pinterest. Easy, tasty, healthy, and a fun food for the kiddies to eat! Load ‘em up with your favorite toppings, and you have a great way to get the little ones to eat their veggies. And yes, that’s a bite missing. I couldn’t hold back 2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and poked with a fork a few times vegetable oil kosher salt 1/2 cup pizza sauc

These falafel are a bit different from the authentic, but still absolutely delicious! I first tried to fry these falafel, which left me with a gloppy mess (I’ve read that dried garbanzos that have been soaked overnight work much better for the fried kind). Then I tried to bake them, and the result was fantastic! The tahini sauce was nutty and tangy, and I will definitely be using it to top some of my salads. An
