Hello! I’m casually popping in the day before Thanksgiving to share this pumpkin cake with you. Because with a toddler and a newborn, that is how I operate these days — last-minute and slightly frazzled. If you’re in need of a last minute T-day dessert, let this be a contender. It is quick and foolproof,…

Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble Bars
I’ve been buying an insane amount of rhubarb, as is my habit with most hyper-seasonal produce. I get downright frantic about it, thinking each time will be my last time buying it for a whole year. Things I’m not good at: letting go. Things I am good at: baking with rhubarb. Until I buy the…
Salted Cacao Buckwheat + Hazelnut Granola
Part dessert, part breakfast, part whatever you want it to be — this nourishing chocolate granola pretty much satisfies your every need. During my first trimester, I had a complete aversion to all things chocolate. Really, I couldn’t even think about chocolate. But now, at 23 weeks (how!?!?) my chocolate-loving self is back in full…
Salted Dark Chocolate Avocado Mousse
This post is sponsored by Vitamix. All opinions are my own, and all products are those I truly use and love. Mother’s Day is almost upon us, and with it comes warmer weather (finally!!), juicy strawberries and springtime gatherings. I love that Mother’s Day coincides with this time of year. It seems fitting to celebrate…
Strawberry Almond Olive Oil Cake — Grain-free + Dairy-free
Hello, spring! While rhubarb and ramps have yet to make their appearance in my area (my personal judge of spring’s arrival), I am definitely in a springtime mood. This winter seemed to stretch on to eternity, so it is time for a change. High 40 degree temps? The standards are low this year, but I’ll…
Chocolate Covered Almond Stuffed Dates, aka “Hot Dates”
I thought I’d pop in with these insanely easy chocolate covered almond stuffed dates. I realized today that Valentine’s Day is next week, and I have not posted a recipe to mark the occasion! The time is flying, and I cannot say I am mad as I look out at the dreary freezing rain pelting…
Chewy Triple-Ginger Molasses Cookies
It’s cookie baking season — the most wonderful time of the year, indeed! As the end of November draws near, I go into full on baking mode. Ideally, my oven is on at all times. Even more ideally, cooking up something sweet and festive. Funny enough, I’m actually not that big of a sweets person,…
Perfect Oatmeal Raisin Cookies – Vegan + Gluten-Free
As I write, it is pouring rain outside, the leaves are tinged with brilliant hues of red, orange and yellow and the weather is finally getting crisp. I live for cozy days like this. Hygge days. Days that beckon you to stay inside and look inward – to your home, your loved ones, your quiet…
Apple Crisp with Ghee + Almond Butter – naturally sweetened
This apple crisp has incredible depth of flavor and layered texture. If you could smell its divine aroma through your screen, you would already be in your kitchen baking this by now. The rosy apples, warming spices, buttery ghee, nutty almonds and hints of lemon and orange combine to swoon-inducing smell and flavor. The recipe…
Sunflower Berry Crumble Bars – Vegan, Gluten-free + Nut-free
These are my back-to-school inspired berry crumble bars. Rose started “school” last week – by which I mean she started a 3 hour enrichment program, one day per week. But still! It seems like a big deal, and I may or may not have built it up in my head until I was oddly emotional…
