The Best Pumpkin Cornbread Recipe
(Vegan and gluten-free pumpkin cornbread! This post is sponsored through my partnership with Blue Diamond Almond Breeze.) It can be difficult to think of an intro for a recipe when you’re still in the process of eating and swooning over it. I thought about creating an air-tight defense for my arguably overeager use of canned…

Vegan Chickpea Cheezy Stuffed Mushrooms
So I had some mushrooms in the fridge that were in a “use it or lose it situation.” These vegan stuffed mushrooms were the perfect way to rescue them! They’ll probably be that much more delicious using mushrooms that are at their prime. 😉 It’s been a good day over here so far. I spent…

Goat Cheese, Beet and Jalapeño Flatbread
This is my healthier at-home version of our beloved Bo-Beau Kitchen flatbread: goat cheese, beet and jalapeño. AKA three things you wouldn’t really think to put together. But, this unique flatbread combination is so right. The component that helps bring everything together is a sweet onion-tomato spread. To make this, all I did was heat…

Creamy cauliflower mash
Hi! How’s the day going? So happy you liked the tartlet recipe! Let me know if you give them a whirl 🙂 Anyone else going through a major mid-summer closet purge?

The best vegan sushi
Whenever I see the fam, I can expect the usual shenanigans. Food and laughter are the main components, with lots of stories, random games, spontaneously passing out on the couch from a food coma, and then repeating. I can also expect that my Uncle E will share some amazing cooking tips or a new recipe…

Zucchini pasta salad with creamy cashew sauce
Bringing back wacky out-of-the-box salads with this zucchini pasta salad. Even though, let’s be real, they’re around our house pretty much every day 😉 During the summer, I tend to get a little overzealous with the produce options and create some pretty interesting salad combos. Sometimes they’re home runs, and other times, they’re FGO (For…

Spiced smashed potatoes
Potato, potahhhhhto…… I feel like I’ve had a few successes today: 1) I took a barre class, two days after the half marathon, as part of my training for work. (My first full practice class is Thursday! Wahoo!) I was on the fence if this was a success or failure, as I couldn’t complete about…

the best fruit salad and a new Zumba video
Hi guys! How’s your day going so far? Lately, boatloads of fruit have been consumed in our house. This is the best fruit salad and I’ve been making it fairly often for the past few weeks. Livi goes crazy for it, and it’s the same salad I took over to Whitney’s to celebrate Easter with her family. Hope…

“The crunch” chopped salad with homemade Ranch dressing
I originally had a sweets recipe planned for today, but since I think we’re all still swimming in chocolate eggs from yesterday, how ’bout a salad to balance everything out? This is my latest salad fave and I will eat it until forever. By “forever” I mean until I burn myself out and am onto…
