Vegan Sprankle Blondies

I bet these blondies will make up for the time you used up the rest of your neighbor’s laundry soap, and when you wrote “donuts” instead of “donate” on the bring-your-own-bag raffle slip at Trader Joe’s, or when you picked napping over cleaning and drinking beers instead of water or when you didn’t do the dishes for 4 days. And by you, I mean me, and by blondies I mean one big cookie. So whip these…

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are chewy and salty sweet. They’re also BIG which means there’s lots of middle and that’s the best part. Kinda like how the best part of the weekend is when there’s a 3rd day full of antique shopping and bibimbap eating and chit-chatting. These cookies are the 3-day weekend of your (my) January #veganphase living. I think it’s really cool that there’s maple syrup in these and I think you’re really cool for…

Chocolate Chip Cookies Forever

Because I’m hungry for every single chocolate chip cookie remix ever. Because the other day I pumped gas and it overflowed on my foot. Because it’s so cold in my apartment. Because I can’t find matching socks. Because I have dishes to put away. Because I’m currently using my pre-teen boom box to listen to music at home. Because I can’t save snacks until I’m hungry at work. Because I laid in the sun on…

Crispy Chickpea Cobb Salad

Polka dot pants are the new denim. Cowboy boots are the new cold weather necessity. Pink is the new black, and this salad is the new roasted sweet potato and black bean quesadilla. At least in my life. I can’t stop making this! Especially because once you have the ingredients you can salad it up for days. I made this for my parents when they visited. I’ve made this for a friend of mine twice.…

White Pizza with Lemony Greens

While making this pizza I thought of a joke… It goes like this: Which cheese is the loneliest? (Any idea? Do you know!?) ProvALONE. Boom.  … And then I realized that’s not how you spell it. It’s provolone. Shucks. Worst joke ever? Maybe, because of the whole spelling issue, it’s the kind of joke that can only be told aloud. So anyhow, I had a pizza like this at Roberta’s in New York and I loved it.…

Vegan Chocolate Cake Blizzard

I could eat ice cream every day. Winter or summer, hungry or full, before dinner or after dinner, today and tomorrow. Lately, I’ve been into soft serve of the chocolatiest-chocolate variety. I’m into blizzards and flurries with mix-ins. The more chocolate the better. So, I figured, why not make a vegan remix! I knew I wanted to use this chocolate coconut milk ice cream because it’s the creamiest and dreamiest. And these cookies are cakie like…

Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies

What do you guys bake when you’re baking your feelings? I tend to go the chocolate chip cookie route. They just taste all homey-like. They’re comforting, ya know? It’s even better if I happen to have all the ingredients on hand. So when I stumbled across these cookies and read about their toffee-like flavor I knew I needed them to happen immediately. And they are totally toffee-tastic. So get ready. And there is no butter allowed…

Olive Oil Mini Muffins with Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt

I hope summer’s treating you well. I hope you’ve been driving around with your windows down listening to summer music. Have you been listening to She & Him and singing along to the Avett Brothers? Blaring Lady Gaga for the dance-y days? I hope your car never gets too hot and that your parking spot’s always in the shade. I hope you eat things like this for breakfast because they’re called muffins even though they…

Chocolate Mousse with Olive Oil and Sea Salt

Last weekend, my Mom came to visit. She brought me snazzy parfait cups that I totally remember her making blue jell-o in when I was a kid. She even put a gummy shark in there for scary-swimmy-tasty goodness. Talk about awesome. Instead of jell-o, this time, we opted for mousse. And when I found this recipe on the kitchn, I knew it was the one I was dreaming of. It has all of my favorite…
