Oh my, did I struggle with what to name this recipe.
It’s thicker than a pudding, creamier than a mousse, and less gelatinous than a custard.
So I went with pot de creme, which Wikipedia says means, “‘pot of custard’ or ‘pot of cream’, which also refers to the porcelain cups in which the dessert is served.”
Technically, I served this recipe in some jars. But “jars de creme” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it, you know?
Read MoreOH HI. Alexa here coming to you from a very snowy, sloshy, slushy Pittsburgh.
And there’s one thing that can warm me up from the tip of my toes to the tip of my nose –– a Ginger Latte.
Have you ever had a Ginger Latte? I hadn’t until about two weeks ago when I had it at a local coffee shop, and it was exactly what my perpetually-shivering body needed to warm itself right up.

These past few years have been… a lot. But I’m feeling hopeful for this new year.
I set some goals for myself (I do better with goals than with resolutions, which always seem so much more intense), and I’m really excited to pursue them.
Amongst the goals I set for myself, one was wanting to make an effort to try new dinner recipes this year. I get in dinner ruts a lot, and during those ruts, I tend to default to staples like rice, tofu/beans, and some sort of veggie.
It’s fast and filling, but after a week or two of the same thing over and over and over, it gets pretty boring.
So! In an effort to be more creative in the kitchen, I created THIS. And I don’t really know what to say about it other than it’s really really good.

To be quite honest with you, I’m in full-blown Christmas mode now. I’m just so incredibly excited for all the happy, warm, cozy vibes that the holiday season brings each year.
And there’s nothing more Christmas-y in my mind than the peppermint mocha.
Read MoreOh hey. It’s me, that girl who, a meer two weeks ago called ranch, and I quote, “thick blanket of goo.”
So there’s that. But then there’s this!
A vegan ranch that is super herby and dippable and so very yummy.
Read MoreWhat a mouth-full!
Oh, how I love pasta and creamy vegan cheese sauce and roasty toasty caramelized broccoli.
Especially this time of year!
Read MoreMaking salads oh-so wonderful for years in my kitchen!
Growing up, we used to have “side salads” with almost any dinner. Any vegetable we had in the fridge was chopped up and sprinkled on some shredded romaine, and then we topped it all with some sort of dressing.
I’ve always navigated towards vinaigrettes –– that classic combo of vinegar and oil always seemed to compliment my salads rather than coat it in a thick blanket of goo like ranch.

Even though it’s not technically fall yet (imo, it starts tomorrow, September 1), I have the fall baking fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell baked goods.
