Happy Valentine’s Day! Are you celebrating? Regardless of if you are or aren’t doing something for V-Day, you can definitely celebrate with these strawberries. 😋 And also- if you’re not doing anything- don’t feel bad! Neither am I. I mean… I like Valentine’s Day, and it can be super cute and all, but I feel […]

Happy Halloween! Any Halloween lovers out there? I kind of have a love-hate relationship with it. I love the decorations, the treats, but hate the scary movies. In fact, my boyfriend and I just were in Orlando for a night and there was a horror movie convention happening in the hotel we were staying at. […]

Yep. You read that post title correctly. Today we are making Healthy Vegan Snickers Bars!!! Because we should all be able to enjoy candy every now and then and do so without feeling crappy from what’s inside of the candy bars. So let’s talk Snickers for a second. Snickers, which usually can be found right […]

Ohhhhh yes! Today we’re making a nod to a childhood Easter candy favorite. I know when I was little, I used to love Cadbury Creme Eggs. The chocolate- the insanely sweet center- I loved all of it and always crossed my fingers that the Easter bunny would bring them. Even my mom, who is a […]

Is there anything better than a really good piece of dark chocolate? How about a plant-based, naturally-sweetened, dark chocolate?! You can find a LOT of different types of chocolate out there- from dark to milk to healthy to not so healthy. And while lots of these chocolates taste really good- the after effects of eating […]

Did you used to mess with a chocolate milkshake as a kid? I definitely, DEFINITELY did. My dad was kind of an expert chocolate milkshake maker. He had this whole process involving chocolate ice cream, Hershey’s syrup, Nesquik, an ice cold stainless steel cup, and a special spoon (which he named “MY SPOON). His milkshakes […]

I’m not going to get it twisted here and claim that holiday sweets aren’t delicious. Because they are. But they’re also a little heavy and a few days of holiday parties/dinners/work things can leave you feeling less than stellar. This grab and go snack-breakfast-dessert will pretty much make you feel the opposite of that. Light, healthy, […]

  If you’re vegan and/or gluten-free, you might sometimes feel like family and friend get-togethers can be lacking  in the food department, especially if your family and friends aren’t familiar with eating a plant-based diet. It might seem frustrating, but it can actually be a kickass opportunity for you to show your loved ones how insanely good vegan food can […]

  Happy holidays!! Are you looking for any last minute thoughtful gifts for loved ones? A sweet treat is always an awesome option, whether that means yummy cranberry loaf, tasty cookies, or this veganized peppermint bark. This bark is my personal fav because it packs up so well, looks super cute, and is easy to make. On a personal note, […]

Today I have one last Easter treat for you. Although I loved a good peanut butter egg growing up, my most favorite childhood Easter candy had to be the sickeningly sweet Cadbury Creme Egg. My chocolate-loving mom and sister didn’t even like these guys. They thought the eggs were too sweet. Not me- I couldn’t get enough! I set out to […]

What is your favorite candy? I’ve always been a fan of the classic Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. More specifically, the softer, more peanut butter-to-chocolate ratio of the Reese’s Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Egg. If you’re also fond of these eggs, you should consider making the vegan version as soon as possible! They’re easy to make and […]
