It’s time for a reality check. The kind that you may not want to hear. Earlier today, I was reading a women’s fitness blog. You know, the kind where beautifully lean and perfectly-fit-even-though-I’ve-birthed-10-kids (exaggeration, but you get the point) women share their workouts and recipes with the world wide web. Don’t get me wrong. I…
Blueberry Banana Smoothie
One of my favorite summer activities has very little to do with beaches, pools, and tanning lotion. Yep. Even though I love water sports and being outside in the summer, my absolute favorite summer pastime is smoothie-making. There is just something super exciting about pouring a bunch of fresh and frozen fruits (and sometime veggies)…
Vegan Blueberry Pancakes
When I was a kid, nothing thrilled my childish heart more than watching Dad flip pancakes on Sunday mornings. I can still smell the gorgeous aroma of batter on the griddle (errr…frying pans, since we didn’t have a griddle) that wafted under my bedroom door, as I sleepily climbed out of bed and followed my…
Blueberry Oat Muffins
It’s Friday!! And, right now, I’m visualizing everyone (including me) jumping up and down with joy that the weekend is finally here. It’s been a busy week, folks, and I think it’s safe to say that some of us are exhausted. Enter: Sabbath rest. Saturday is my day to just sit back, relax, and spend…
Fluffy Vegan Biscuits
Hi Friends! Happy Friday! Today, I’m popping in to share some exciting news and my new favorite biscuit recipe with you. :) There’s just nothing quite like the yumminess of hot biscuits on a weekend morning with gravy (or jam?). Any half-decent baker knows that some things, like biscuits, scones, cookies, and pie crusts, usually…
Vegan Apricot Scones
Hi Friends! Yes, I know. It has been way, WAY too long since I’ve posted anything. The reason is this: …A surprise visit to California to visit my sister, parents, and grandparents (who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this week). The picture above is my sister and my baby M who is now almost…
Easy Vegan French Toast
Vegan French Toast. An oxymoron? Perhaps. But, that’s okay. Sometimes oxymorons turn out to be the best vegan treats. Vegan fettuccine alfredo, vegan macaroni and cheese, and vegan ravioli with vegan sundried tomato cream sauce come to mind. What I love most about this breakfast entree is the fact that it is so easy to…
Carob Peanut Butter Pudding
Hello Friends! Today, I bring you what is possibly one of my very favorite recipes yet. Carob peanut butter pudding with coconut whipped cream. Some of you may be thinking that nothing good can come out of carob. I know, I know…it just doesn’t have the same flavor as chocolate. But, really, this pudding is…
