  • Homemade Pecan Butter + Funky Hummus

    Nut butters – ALL nut butters – are fab. But you know what is MORE fab? Homemade nut butter! Specifically, pecan butter! ^^ that’s the face you make when you find pecans at the farmer’s market. Look at that deliciousness! It’s seriously so awesome, especially with jelly… on a sandwich. Ok, that was a strange…

  • Vegan Chocolate-Covered Pretzels

    Hi guys! I made some yummy chocolate-covered pretzels today and I wanted to share.

    Today was another beautiful day in Escanaba! Sunny, on the cool side of warm (hey, you take what you can get in the U. P.) and breezy. I needed some fresh air time, so I went on a brisk bike ride down by the lake. I love being on the water, and I always have……
