It’s pumpkin time! I decided to switch up my granola recipe a bit and add some pumpkin puree into the mix. Base ingredients: rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, chopped pecans, and unsweetened coconut flakes. Spices and binding agents: cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg, vanilla paste, virgin coconut oil, maple syrup and organic pumpkin puree. Combine dry ingredients…

Oat Bran Muffins
These muffins are packed with fiber and flavor! They have shredded carrots, sweet dates, and crunchy walnuts folded into a batter made with mashed banana and yogurt, which make the muffins super moist and delicious. I love eating these before a hike, or if I need an extra boost to give my colon a cleanse….
Baked Falafels
I made falafels!! I’ve been trying out some Mediterranean dishes lately and had to give these crispy little chickpea wafers a try. They are super easy with just a little prep. I started off by soaking the chickpeas overnight (about 16 hours), then drained them. I picked off the leaves of parsley and cilantro stems,…
Fresh & Zingy Carrot Ginger Dressing
Roasted carrots, blended with zingy fresh ginger and tangy rice vinegar, this dressing is perfect for super salad bowls or to use as a raw vegetable dipping sauce. It only has 5 ingredients and can be easily modified if you feel it needs a little kick, or more sweet carrot yum. This is my current…
I Finally Made Good Biscuits!
Ok, I’ve struggled on this one. I’ve made biscuits several times. The first time they were decent-ish, they held together nicely, but were way too floury tasting and very dense. The next couple of times they fell apart and were a weird light crumbly texture. I felt like I created a new kind of dessert…
Double Fried Seasoned Fries
Warm, crispy golden fries, dusted in salt and spices, what’s not to love? I think it’s my favorite way to eat russet potatoes. Have you ever wondered who came up with this ingenious idea? Some might think the name “French fry” is a dead give away. France, duh, it’s in the name. Well, the French…
Mini Chicken Tenders
Chicken tenders have been one of my favorite foods since childhood. So, of course, I had to make homemade ones. I used to think they’d be super hard to make. Fried foods in general use to scare me. Scorching hot oil, not cooking the chicken enough, burning the outside, a grease fire, ahhh the endless…
French Baguettes
Crispy outside, soft and oh so good inside. Great by itself, slathered with butter or jelly, or even sliced up for sandwiches (which is what I made this batch of baguettes particularly for). I wanted something that would be extra good doused in garlic butter and toasted to crunchy perfection. Say hello to my little…
Roasted Chickpeas
I’m stepping up my chickpea game! They are a perfect addition to my roasted veggie bowls, or just to snack on. It only take a few minutes to whip these together, then simply pop them in the oven. Hopefully you’ll be as happy as I am when I munch on these crispy little balls of…
