Almost like the real thing
To accidentally celebrate our Italy trip anniversary, we spent the afternoon in a spot we’re determined to visit more often. (Our travel agent commented on our Instagram that it was one year ago that we went to Rome and Positano. Some Italy tips are here, too! I’ve thought about it every day since; I’m itching…

Vegan Chickpea Cheezy Stuffed Mushrooms
So I had some mushrooms in the fridge that were in a “use it or lose it situation.” These vegan stuffed mushrooms were the perfect way to rescue them! They’ll probably be that much more delicious using mushrooms that are at their prime. 😉 It’s been a good day over here so far. I spent…

Goat Cheese, Beet and Jalapeño Flatbread
This is my healthier at-home version of our beloved Bo-Beau Kitchen flatbread: goat cheese, beet and jalapeño. AKA three things you wouldn’t really think to put together. But, this unique flatbread combination is so right. The component that helps bring everything together is a sweet onion-tomato spread. To make this, all I did was heat…

Grain-Free Apricot Tartlets
The night before last was officially pizza night. We still hadn’t made our weekly Trader Joe’s and Costco runs, and when I stared in the fridge trying to mentally assemble components into a decent dinner option, the dessert radar kept going off.

The best vegan sushi
Whenever I see the fam, I can expect the usual shenanigans. Food and laughter are the main components, with lots of stories, random games, spontaneously passing out on the couch from a food coma, and then repeating.

Zucchini pasta salad with creamy cashew sauce
Bringing back wacky out-of-the-box salads with this zucchini pasta salad. Even though, let’s be real, they’re around our house pretty much every day 😉 During the summer, I tend to get a little overzealous with the produce options and create some pretty interesting salad combos. Sometimes they’re home runs, and other times, they’re FGO (For…

No-Bake Blueberry Jam Bars
I have this grand vision of the (very) distant future: I am an awesome grandma and I always have some type of fresh-baked cookies waiting for visitors in the cookie jar. For now, it’s this random Pyrex dish. Each week, there’s something entirely different for snacking: amazeballs, protein fudge, granola bars, cookies, muffins or whatever…

Berry Lemon Chia Jam
I started a new thing where if we’re out of something, I’ll try to make it from scratch. This doesn’t work for the obvious staples (like eggs. We go through 172 each week), but little things like almond butter and jam. Berry Lemon Chia Seed Jam One night, I was packing Livi’s lunch up for…
