It’s June, and you know what June means? Fresh strawberries and fresh basil! This recipe was a total no-brainer because it combines two of my favorite spring specialties, for a refreshing seasonal beverage. This Strawberry Basil Margarita Smoothie is great two ways: made virgin-style for a delicious light breakfast, or with a splash of tequila…
Cocktails
Bourbon Cacao Vegan Milk Punch
Boozy. Creamy. Chocolate-y. Nutmeg-y. Holiday-y. Okay, I’m making up words now, but you get the point. This drink has everything you would want in a holiday cocktail, all rolled into one. BOURBON CACAO VEGAN MILK PUNCH. I used to make a vegan Bailey’s for the holidays every year, but since I stopped drinking coffee, I needed…
Autumn Apple Whiskey Cocktail
Fall is here and I’ve officially switched over to whiskey as my autumn drink of choice. I recently bought a bottle of Leopold Brothers Apple Whiskey which I have confirmed from the brand is vegan-friendly and has no sugar added! (Beware of yucky apple whiskeys which are made with artificial flavors and no real apples…) So, here it is, my first autumn cocktail of the season. Enjoy!

5-Ingredient Strawberry Chocolates
I don’t normally talk about myself much in blog posts, but since I’m publishing these strawberry chocolates as a Valentine’s Day recipe, it’s time I let you in on some good news: I’m engaged! It’s been about two weeks since the proposal, so needless to say, this Valentine’s Day feels extra special and romantic. Still,…
Tri-Color Almond Christmas Cookies (Naturally Dyed!)
Everyone loves red and green cookies for the holidays, but not everyone knows what chemicals are lurking in those store-bought food dyes. I know, harsh way to start off a recipe post, but I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t be here on my blog if you didn’t care about what’s in your food, right? These Tri-Color…
The Best Vegan Holiday Cookies
I have searched high and low for the perfect holiday cookie, and every recipe I found was overly complicated, overly sweetened, and overly not-vegan! I created this recipe to be the opposite of those three things; easy, perfectly sweet, and of course, free of eggs and dairy. These chocolate-dipped sugar cookies take just fifteen minutes…

One-Pot Winter Vegetable Curry with Turmeric Rice
There’s nothing in the world like a warm plate of Indian food. Nourishing, warming, flavorful, and…complicated. As much as I love Indian food, I’m not always the best at nailing the authentic flavors, so that’s why this recipe is featuring a ready-made simmer sauce by Maya Kaimal. This winter curry recipe is delicious, healthy, and…
Habanero Roasted Pumpkin Wedges
When I say spicy, you say pumpkin! Spicy, PUMPKIN, spicy, PUMPKIN! Okay that’s corny but seriously, guys, this recipe makes me want to cheer from the mountaintops. We’ve all heard of “pumpkin spice” but this is something totally new and different. While brainstorming for this recipe, I first thought that spicy pumpkin wedges would be…
Jalapeno Corn Mashed Potatoes
Is there a more comforting food than mashed potatoes? And who said that comfort foods were just for the winter? I know summer is supposed to be all about salads and smoothies but sometimes a girl just needs a little Jalapeno Corn Mashed Potatoes in her life. This recipe is creamy, savory, a little sweet,…
