  • Christmas Day in Photos

    I hope you all had a beautiful Christmas Day. Ours was really nice; we opened presents together in the morning, which was so fun and full of so many laughs!! And then we spent the day playing with our different presents, hanging out together, and cooking dinner. Since my mom and I are the only…

  • Christmas Scrapbooks

    Crafting stuff is SO fun, especially when it’s Christmas-related!! So, of course, I like to make a few gifts. Last year, I made my dad a clay model of the horse that he liked to ride, and made one for myself, too. I think they turned out really nicely, and the paint job is my…

  • Curried Butternut Squash Soup

    Hey guys! How were your weekends? I don’t even know what’s going on with me right now to be honest. I’m trying to step up my Instagram game (I’m getting up 1 post per day if you want to check it out!) and also plan for 2 blog posts per week (Mondays and Fridays 🙂…

  • Minimalist Baker PB & J Muffins

    I really like Minimalist Baker – it’s such a fun space, with those beautiful photographs and creative recipes! I’m always interested to try Dana’s creations, and that’s how I found this recipe for Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins. These muffins are vegan and gluten free, and can be refined sugar free as well. They are very…

  • Slice ‘n’ Bake Pecan Cookies

    Hey guys! I have a really fun recipe to share with you today. How do chocolate-covered slice ‘n’ bake pecan cookies sound?? Have you ever made slice ‘n’ bakes before? I hadn’t, but when I saw this post by Sally’s Baking Addiction, I knew I had to try it! However, Sally’s Baking Addiction isn’t a…

  • Vegan and GF Snickerdoodles

    You know you are a baker through-and-through when you get up at 6:15 AM on a Saturday morning in order to bake cookies! I’ve been vegan for a year and a half, and yet, it has taken me until this very day to make vegan snickerdoodles! I’m so glad I finally did, because these cookies…

    Hey, guys! Today I got home from church and immediately kicked into high cooking gear. The result? This awesome mixed bean and butternut squash soup. I’m really excited about this soup! I heavily adapted a recipe that my aunt gave me, and it turned out really, really well. It’s full of: sliced, sautéed onions and…

    I’m so glad that Thanksgiving Break is here for us school-age kids. I always struggle with being unable to bake and blog as much as I would like to during the week, and often, especially these past few weeks, my weekends are packed. For example: last Saturday, I had a performing arts rehearsal at 9:00…

  • Oh She Glows Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Time for another Recipe Review post! Presenting my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe: Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies by Oh She Glows! I get so much satisfaction in finding the “perfect” recipe for pretty much anything – vegan biscuits, chocolate cakes, etc. Although I have yet to find the perfect vegan biscuit recipe, I think this…

  • Vegan Macarons?? My experience so far.

    I made vegan macarons!!! I’m sorry for using my outside voice but I thought that was pretty cool. Have you ever made macarons, vegan or otherwise? I hadn’t until this weekend, and I had to do it twice before I could post anything about them on the blog because, as I found out, macarons are…
