It’s pretty easy to get so caught up in trying to please everyone else that you forget to do things just for yourself. I’m sure we all have been guilty of this at some point, but for me, the biggest example of this for me is when it comes to cooking. On the weekends, all … Continue reading »
This week, in celebration of the upcoming, very long-awaited, premier of the 4th season of Arrested Development (my most favorite TV show of all time) on Netflix, I am doing a week of Arrested Development-themed recipes. It’s sort of a week-long Arrested Development premier celebration, if you will (“Oh, sure, I will. Look, I have…”). To answer your questions: … Continue reading »

Isn’t it wonderful how life just happens sometimes? Just when you find your routine, your groove, life comes and shakes it all up. I think it’s pretty neat. What fun would it be if every day was the same as the last? Such has been the case for me recently. Little bits of life have … Continue reading »
Welcome to the Virtual Vegan Potluck! I made you cookies! Lots and lots of cookies. Oatmeal Cherry Chocolate Chip cookies to be exact. If I bring a dessert to a potluck, I usually always bring cookies, especially if I know there are going to be other desserts. Why, you ask? Well, I may just be … Continue reading »
Could there be any more awesome words in that title? Caramel. Peanut Butter. Marshmallow. Sure, I probably could’ve added chocolate and just put them over the top, but chocolate always has a way of stealing the show. I wanted the other ingredients to shine. Also, these were inspired by another one of my recipes and … Continue reading »

Sometimes, I get a hunger that only something sweet and lemony will cure. There’s just something about a little bright and lemony dessert that makes my senses sing. It’s an interesting thing because it’s rarely something I’ll choose, unless I’m really craving it. If given the choice between a blueberry muffin and a lemon poppy … Continue reading »
I’ve never had an actual Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks or some other fancy coffee house, so it might seem odd that I would make caramel macchiato truffles. I once, however, had a plain macchiato while living in Italy. It was right after I got fired for the first (and only) time in my life. At … Continue reading »
Remember when I said that I’ve abandoned oatmeal as my breakfast of choice? Well, that’s still the case. The very thought of it is turning me off. The thought of the plain, wholesome taste of Morning O’s (Cheerio’s, Whole Foods style) in a bowl of cold almond milk, however, is what makes me rush home … Continue reading »
Do you ever look back at different times in your past and think “That seems like another lifetime ago?” It happens to me all the time. It sometimes feels like I’ve lived at least seven other lives. There was this one life when I lived in an apartment complex (the kind that’s spread out over … Continue reading »
Have you been spending time wondering what you’re going to do with those partially used cans of pumpkin, sitting in your fridge? I have the solution for you: Truffles. White chocolate pumpkin gingersnap truffles. I have been wanting to do something with white chocolate ever since Cara posted a recipe for raw white chocolate. White … Continue reading »
Last year, for our first vegan Thanksgiving, I pre-made our entire feast (minus the caulipots, which Chris’s sister made), then packed it all up in a cooler and we drove 5 hours to his parents house on Thursday morning. It was amazing. But also a lot of work. This year, we have decided to stay … Continue reading »
I’m going to apologize right now for the bombardment of recipes using cinnamon, ginger, persimmon, pumpkin, butternut squash, and/or other types of winter squash that you are going to be getting the next couple months. I can’t get enough of these things this time of year. I hope you won’t mind. Pumpkin bread is probably … Continue reading »
The best part about fights is when you make up afterwards, right? To be completely honest, I don’t really have much experience with fighting/making up because Chris and I don’t really ever fight. I”m serious. We’re pretty good at talking rationally with each other and I don’t think I could ever bring myself to say … Continue reading »
After going for a few months (several years in kitchen prep time) without a food processor, I can finally say that my kitchen is Food Processor equipped! To break in my new toy, my man, Chickpea, decided to help out! Inspired by nothing but the season and the chocolate chips hiding in the back of … Continue reading »
Not too long ago, I did a post on entertaining search terms that are used to find Keepin’ It Kind. These search terms, along with the comments in the spam folder, give me great joy when I read them. Now I’ve got a few more to add to the list. To the people who found … Continue reading »
The Chickpea surprised me with something really sweet the other day. I know I’m a little late to the roasted chickpea party. I don’t know what took me so long to get here or why I put it off for so long. I guess I didn’t think I’d like them? I thought I’d be put … Continue reading »
Chris told me recently that “It’s not quite dessert unless there’s chocolate in it.” Is there any question as to why I adore him? So I was all set to make some sort of chocolatey dessert to surprise him with after a long, hard day of work, when I found that I was out of … Continue reading »
