Several years ago I was hot and heavy with QVC, meaning I was completely addicted, and watched it nearly 24/7. Ahh, who am I kidding? I was watching it 24/7! However, had I not been watching, I would have never found this particular cook book that I still cook from all the time today. It’s…
Breakfast
Vegan Adaptable Blueberry Poptarts
We are on a homemade poptarts kick lately since Kelsie can’t have the store bought kind, unless they are the organic ones that are $5 a box! Let’s face it groceries are expensive as it is and if I can save money by making my own I’m gonna do it! Plus the flavor of these…
Vegan Blueberry Preserves
I love berries of all shapes and colors. I love them best in smoothies and pies, but I’ll take them just about any way I can get them. My favorite way to eat a blueberry though is not fresh. I am not a fan of the texture. <— I am that person with the texture…
Brown Sugar Cinnamon Poptarts – Vegan Adaptable
Poptarts are one of those fast breakfasts that every kid seems to love. While a lot of parents lately seem to loathe. The ingredients and sugar in the iconic breakfast pastry is just ridiculous. They have made something so easy, with such few ingredients, into a science experiment with our kids as the guinea pigs….
Pumpkin Pie Poptarts – Vegan Adaptable
Store bought poptarts are loaded with all sorts of sugars, unnatural flavors, and unnecessary dyes that aren’t good for anybody. When we learned that Kelsie had food allergies, one main breakfast was out the window and that was poptarts. We loved them for their fast to fix, easy to carry around breakfast that everybody knows…
Baked Apple Cider Donuts
I love apple cider and I love donuts, so why not just put the two together? Exactly. I make a delicious apple cider, thanks to my niece, and I just so happen to have made some the other day. There was only enough left for a little more than one cup, and let’s face it,…
Caramel Apple Scones – Vegan Adaptable
My perfect Saturday morning is a hot cup of coffee with the works and a warm fall flavored scone. I have been making scones for years, the pumpkin kind, but when I saw a recipe for a caramel apple version, I knew that I had to make it. It’s finally September here, but the weather…
Pumpkin Apple Muffins (vegan adaptable)
School is back in session and fall is literally right around the corner. Even though the weather here is still hot as all get out, I am in the fall mood. I’m ready for that cool crisp weather, apple cider, hot cocoa, soups, and pumpkin everything! I decided to combine two of my favorite flavors…
Fluffy Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits
One thing that I remember fondly is my grandmother (Mammie’s) home made biscuits. They were fluffy and perfect. She made them every time we spent the night at her house. I have tempted biscuits before but they always turn out like rocks. Ahh well, we live and learn. I recently found a recipe that gave me…
Egg Free Waffles with a Log Cabin Box Mix
If your egg free due to allergies or personal reasons, you know that when shopping for foods or baking, it can deem itself pretty difficult. If you find something that doesn’t contain eggs, chances are it probably requires you to add eggs. However, if you’ve ever had the opportunity to experiment with a boxed mix…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Chunky Monkey Muffin {vegan adaptable}
After seeing a recipe in my Facebook feed yesterday I felt the need to get up and make it immediately. The girls were still asleep and Zack had just bought the best organic bananas a day or so ago, they were just screaming to be made into something other than my morning smoothies. The only…
Chocolate Glazed Chocolate Donuts (Vegan Adaptable)
Food allergies pose a threat to making kids sad fast. It can turn a happy-go-lucky car trip to Target into a tear fest very quickly. We were in Target over the weekend and Kelsie got so upset. This was her first, “can’t have that and life just sucks” moment and it was heart breaking. Zack…
