I am so excited to finally share this one with you guys! This vegan matcha green tea white chocolate cream pie was the very first pie to get 100% devoured when we did pie night a while back. Not only is it super delicious, it’s pretty easy to make as […]

We love going to the Asian grocery store to pick out fruit. There are just so many types of fruit that we can only find there…and by now, you guys know I LOVE fruit! Enter the dragon fruit smoothie: One of my obsessions at the moment is dragon fruit, or […]
We often buy salad dressings for the convenience factor, but if you are trying to avoid preservatives and cut down on your consumption of unhealthy fats, (most vegetables oils,) making your own dressing is the way to go. It’s really easy, is fairly quick to make, and it stores for […]
These are not your normal, everyday sort of peanut butter cookies. These are packed with the maximum amount of peanut butter that a cookie can still hold, and on top of that, these soft, moist ball-shape cookies melt in your mouth and are amazing fresh out of the oven or […]
