Warm Cocoa Pudding with Candied Pecans


Chocolate, Gluten Free, Puddings, Recipes

Choooocolate pudding, ah yes.  I have loved chocolate pudding since, gosh, probably since I was one minute old.   Ok yeah, no, my mom did not feed me chocolate pudding as an infant.  Or, not that I’m aware.  Although if she had, she’d have deserved Mom of the Year title.  Well, she does anyway so […]

Hot Fudge Pudding Cake


Cake, Chocolate, Gluten Free, Puddings, Recipes

Ahhh, Hot Fudge Pudding Cake.  Man. Look, I know, this is not an earth-shattering brand new recipe by any means.  Heck, my mom made this for us for as long as I can remember and that’s a mighty long time.  You can find just as many versions of this online as you can, well, people.  […]

Not long ago, if you follow us on Instagram which you should because we on occasion drop a stellar recipe that’s not on the blog (did you see Jen’s a bit ago?  Mmm!!  I can vouch for that shortbread)….but, if you follow us, you’d know I had a major major fail.  And confessed, fessed up. Like […]

Hot Cocoa Mix


Chocolate, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Holiday, Recipes, Vegan

My kids loooooooooooove hot cocoa. Like it’s one of the things they most look forward to every winter. And while they’ve grown up with a mom that makes it the old-school way with a pot of milk on the stove and some cocoa powder, sugar, and just a pinch of salt, recently we’ve been making […]

Crock Pot Applesauce


Apple, Breakfast, Dairy Free, Fruit, Gluten Free, Recipes, Vegan

Every year during apple season, I get a little overzealous in my apple buying and usually end up with a bunch of apples that have lost their crunch. Personally, I don’t like eating soft apples. The flavor may still be great, but it doesn’t matter—if the texture is off, I don’t want to eat them. […]

Pot Pie


Dairy Free, Dinner, Gluten Free, Pie, Recipes, Savory, Vegan

When the weather starts to change at the end of summer, I start hankering for soul-satisfying, hearty, warm, fill-all-your-corners meals like thick soups, stews, and pot pie (which, let’s be honest here, is essentially soup inside a pie shell and to whoever the genius was who created pot pies…THANK YOU). Soups are a staple dinner […]

Growing up, birthday cakes were always a big deal in our house.  Or they were to me.  Because baking, heh.  Well ok that and eating the baking. In my stubborn world view, a birthday is not a birthday, a birthday is not complete unless there’s cake involved.  Cake.  Has to be cake.  Have to have […]

Energy Balls


Chocolate, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Recipes, Vegan

When it gets blistering hot out, I lose all desire to bake. Am I alone in this? It’s not just that I don’t want to heat up the kitchen and house (though that IS a major factor), but it’s also that I don’t want to even be near a hot stove when it’s hot. And, […]

It’s blueberry season! It’s also hot and humid as Hades outside, so I’m in no mood to bake and heat up the house. Luckily, I am in possession of a fabulous no-bake pie recipe that I look forward to making every year when fresh blueberries are abundant and affordable. And, wow, are they abundant and […]
