I’m not going to lie, that it feels a little silly to be posting about cupcakes and frosting in lieu of this year’s election. Today I’m sharing my post in order to #bakeamericacakeagain along with Sarah Kieffer from The Vanilla Bean Blog. Head on over to order her cookbook that comes out this week! What I…

easy caramel sauce
So, I have this weird obsession with caramel on baked things and nothing else – maybe in ice cream but that’s the only other place. Hold on, maybe I’m just obsessed with caramel. Damn it.
easy fall muesli
I only recently started eating muesli after our family trip to Europe this summer. I’m not really surprised that I liked it based on my previous college obsession with overnight oats. If you don’t know what muesli is, it’s essentially a mix of rolled oats, dried fruit, nuts, and a bit of spice that you…
Bulletproof Turmeric Chai Latte
Fall has always been my favorite season. Aside from my obsession with wool socks and all things pumpkin, it just feels so cozy to me. The leaves are changing and there’s that familiar crunch beneath your boots. The mornings are crisp, and require a scarf (which btw is my favorite accessory) but not much more. But…
Cardamom Orange Kubaneh from Molly on the Range
If you haven’t ordered Molly Yeh’s cookbook Molly on the Range, then you better hurry on over to Amazon and monopolize on that two day prime shipping because this is one you don’t want to miss. I first started following Molly’s blog after discovering her adorable marzipan decorated cakes on Instagram. Have you seen this…
No Bake Pumpkin Bars
How crazy is it that it’s already October? I feel like I say that every single month but it amazes me how quickly the time seems to pass by. Soon enough I’ll be 30 and passing up nights out to watch Netlix and eat Boom-Chicka-Pop. Okay, so I already do that. Whatever. If you guys caught…
Chickpea Blondies (GF!)
I recently made a pan of black bean brownies that were out of this world. Aside from the part where I could have eaten the entire pan in one sitting, I felt great about the fact that I was sneaking in some extra protein and my brain didn’t even know it. Since becoming a vegetarian,…
Rhubarb Graham Cracker Ice Cream
How on earth is it already September, you guys? It seems like the summer just flew by and soon enough I’ll be scraping ice off my car every morning through the Minnesota winter. Not. Fun. We’ve been enjoying the last taste of summer with roasted veggies from the CSA, bike rides, and of course –…
Coconut Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Cookies and ice cream. Those are the only sweet things I really crave. Okay, maybe also chocolate but that’s a story for another post. Sure, I like cake and pie and all those wonderful things but it wouldn’t be the end of the world if I had to go without them. Cookies though, don’t even get…
Bomb Veggie Sandwich 101 + Tempeh Bacon
We’ve all been there. Someone orders food for a group outing or team meeting (plant trial in my case) and it’s sandwiches or pizza. If it’s pizza, I’m pretty much out of luck unless I have a billion Lactaids on me but sandwiches are even more disappointing. There is nothing worse than a turkey sandwich…
