Vegan Blueberry Muffins

April 14, 2013 25 Comments

These muffins were a total accident, that turned out SO amazingly. I was planning on making regular blueberry muffins when I realized two things:

A) The carton of blueberries I bought was on the verge of going bad,

B) I had never shared my favorite blueberry muffins on here!

So naturally, I just started whipping up the recipe. I ran to grab an egg, and…no eggs. I’m not one for egg replacements, so I had none of that either. I spotted a banana, mashed it up and threw it in. I went to grab the milk, and realized it was heavy cream or almond milk. Erring on the side of health, I grabbed the almond milk. [Read more...]

Browned Butter Banana Cake with Chocolate Ganache

March 27, 2013 24 Comments

Spring break has already come and gone, in the blink of an eye. I spent mine at home in San Diego, with a brief stint in San Francisco.

San Francisco is amazing. I’ve been a few times, but I hadn’t spent time actually in the city exploring in a while, and oh man. It’s incredible! The food is just ridiculous. I could’ve spent hours in the ferry building, trying things from each of the amazing stores. I, of course, visited a ton of bakeries on my visit. [Read more...]

My goodness. I really want to give you guys a good recipe post right now. I want to write something long, and inspiring, or at least entertaining.

But…I want to do that less than I want to sleep.

To all other sorority girls out there, it’s polish week. Or work week, or prep week, or whatever you call the week before recruitment.

If you’ve gone through it, well, you know that it is exhausting! Fun, because I’ve been with my sisters non-stop, but we’ve also been going long hours and I need to sleep! So, unfortunately, all your getting out of me tonight is a kick-ass recipe for paleo, refined sugar free, gluten free, delicious almond banana bread. [Read more...]

Hummingbird Muffins

Life has definitely caught up with me lately. Gone is the slow, leisurely pace of summer and back is the hectic, crazy lifestyle that only other college students seem to understand. There is definitely a balancing act that’s involved in college success. Each person needs to find their rhythm – the correct balance of classes, studying, and socializing that works for them.

I also throw baking into that equation, as it’s something that ranks pretty highly on my importance list. I arrived back on campus this past Friday, and since then has been a complete whirlwind of reconnecting with friends and acquaintances, shopping for room necessities and decorating, and the worst – unpacking and organizing. It’s been extremely hectic around here, but I’m happy to say my new room is completely organized to my liking and is looking super cute thus far! [Read more...]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal (GF, SF, Vegan)

July 13, 2012

It's clear to everyone who knows me I'm addicted to chocolate and peanut butter together. They're perfect for each other, and anyone who has ever eaten a Reese's can tell you that.

I tend to put the two together extremely often, and only a handful of my chocolate and peanut butter recipes have even made it onto the site. I've made tons of recipes combining these ingredients, and there are plenty more C&PB recipes that lurk bookmarked in my cookbooks, pinned onto my Pinterest board, and stuffed into my recipe folders.

Obviously, I really like food.

I’ve always enjoyed food, as most people have for most of their lives, but it was only about two or three years ago that I became particularly enthralled in cooking, baking, food shopping, dining, and everything that surrounded food. Now, It takes up a significant portion of my life.
