Vegan No Churn Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream & Hot/Cold Date Night In!
I thought I was safe making ice cream because Pittsburgh has had some uncharacteristically warm weather these past few weeks.
However as I’m writing this, the last of the snow is melting off of the roof.
Ooooh well. Ice cream tastes just as good in cold weather as it does in warm, right?!

Lemon Chia Seed Granola
[Welcome to recipe #2 of Oat Week – Easter Edition! This post is sponsored by my wonderful friends over at Bob’s Red Mill – we’re using their Gluten Free Old Fashioned Rolled Oats for this Lemon Chia Seed Granola!]
Hey, friends! If you recall, Mark and I brought a little one into our family a couple of months ago.
And by “little one”, I mean a tiny little calico kitten named Maya.
At times, it feels like we’re living with two completely different cats. Sometimes we’ll have calm, sweet Maya, who stretches out against our leg, turns on her back, and lets us scratch her stomach as she gently falls asleep. (This is happening as I’m writing this, and I’m dying)
And other times, we’ll have welts on our hands, bites on our feet, and a cat in “time-out.”Read More

Not to get all mushy on your guys, because, seriously, been there/done that, but unlike every other year of my 23 years of living, I’m seriously looking forward to Valentines Day this year! Because unlike every other year of my 23 years of living, I actually have a boyfriend on Valentine’s Day!
Now, I’m not saying that you have to have a S.O. in your life in order to enjoy Valentine’s Day, but the first year you get to spend the most love-infested day of the year with your main-squeeze is kinda totally ridiculously exciting.

18 Craveable Gluten Free Vegan Christmas Cookies
CHRISTMAS COOKIES. To tell you the truth, I never really gravitated towards cookies in years past. Cookies just don’t excite me as much as a fudgy, chewy brownie, a seeeeeriously dark piece of chocolate cake, or some fresh chocolate-dipped fruit.
Until this year.
This year, I’ve gone completely #cookiecrazy. It has been a freakin’ winter wonderland here in the apartment for monhts. Mark and I have pretty much been swimming in Christmas cookies since I wrote my eCookbook a couple of months ago. Not that I’m complaining. It’s been a delicious situation, but a situation nonetheless.
(shameless plug: you can STILL sign up to receive my eCookbook, The Skinny Santa: your essential guide to healthier holiday treats, in the month of December fo’ free! Doooo eeeet!)
So naturally, I’ve been fan-girling over all of the insanely incredible cookie recipes floating around the interwebs this year. From gingerbread, to snickerdoodles, to peppermint, to peanut butter…it’s kind of amazing just how many flavor combinations make up this yummy time of year! So I’ve rounded up 18 of my favorite gluten free vegan Christmas cookie recipes for your viewing (and drooling) pleasure here today! I hope you find some fun cookie inspiration for your happy, somewhat healthy, holiday celebrations!
