Read MoreGinger SNAP Cocktail
Have you ever had a cocktail with Ginger in it? Ginger Beer or Ginger Cider? I have recently become obsessed with the flavor of ginger as it pairs so well with so many fruity flavors. Not long ago, my sister actually purchased a Ginger Vodka that we made a few mixed drinks out of and it got me to thinking that it would be great to use the real thing. So, that is how the Ginger SNAP...

Read MoreVegan Chocolate Avocado Pudding
Ok, so I have seen a gazillion recipes for Chocolate Avocado Pudding and I FINALLY jumped on the bandwagon and gave it a whirl. The basics seem to be similar in all the recipes I looked at so I decided to kind of wing it and see how it turned out. Well, honestly, it turned out better than I had thought for my taste buds… my kids disagreed. My oldest said it tasted like asparagus???...

Read MoreCold Brussel Sprout Salad
I just love Brussel Sprouts but have been stuck in a rut of eating them roasted. Well, it’s been in the upper 90′s and we currently have no air conditioning so roasting is just out of the question. As a matter of fact, I have done very little that requires the stove and absolutely no oven in the last week. This recipe was inspired by a German friend of mine who lives down the...

Read MoreBerry Fresh Fruit Popsicles
Everyone loves popsicles right? We do! What do we love more than popsicles? Making our own!

Yes! Another drink from my Smirnoff Citrus Vodka! I seriously used just about all the fruits and juices we had in the house using up that bottle, lol!

Take your tea one to the next level with my...

Read MoreCinco de Mayo Sangrias
Sangrias are the perfect party drink. It’s easy to mix up a batch early in the day or the night before and it’s ready when you are.

Sangrias are so easy to make because you can literally use any beverages and fruit you have on hand. This recipe...

After drinking this one though, I...

I have become obsessed with ideas on things to make with coconut oil. The stuff is amazing and can be used in so many ways! So the other day, my sister comes home with these coconut covered date things she got at a food co-op while they were out of town.

Read MoreBaked Buffalo Tofu Recipe
I have been seeing some delicious looking baked tofu around the web and decided it was finally time to try it myself when I received a sample from House Foods America. I have eaten tofu quite a bit, but it’s always been pan fried (not healthy) or blended into smoothies so I was eager to try my hand at baking. The thing that keeps me from cooking it more often is the fact it is best to...

On a recent trip to Seattle, I just happen to stumble upon VegFest 2013. I had never been to one, so I thought I for sure needed to get up and see it.

One of the fun things about making your own oatmeal is experimenting with different grains. One that I have really come to love is Millet. Yes, this is the little beads that you will find in bird seed! Upon cooking, it expands slightly, splits and becomes tender but not mushy. It will retain a firmer texture. I decided to go ahead and try cooking some up on it’s own and...
