Thanksgiving is here again and it’s our third vegan Thanksgiving! I haven’t posted much lately because pregnancy doesn’t exactly bring out your best cooking or blogging skills. All I’ve been wanting to do is eat what sounds good at that minute and it’s usually not interesting enough to write a post about! Now that it’s…

Strawberry Lemon Donuts
Is there anything prettier than glaze dripping down a donut? Maybe not. These Strawberry Lemon donuts are spongy, light, and have a delicious strawberry glaze. They’re vegan, gluten free, and oil free as well! I tried to make them as healthy as possible to have a no guilt donut breakfast option and still include as…
Vanilla Lime Donuts
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! I wanted to be festive and come up with a green (yet still appetizing) breakfast today and came up with these vanilla lime donuts. Naturally green without the crazy amount of food coloring usually used today. They’re simple with a zing of tangy like flavor and you’ll feel lucky when…
Strawberry Chocolate Chip Pancakes
It’s my birthday week and I wanted to start it off with a bang! I used to ask for chocolate covered strawberries instead of birthday cake because I love them so much, so why not make a pancake version?! Yum! Sliced strawberries get soft and caramelized when they’re cooking on the griddle and the chocolate…
Lemon Blueberry Baked Donuts
Lemon and blueberry are best friends in my eyes, so these donuts are unbelievably scrumptious! They’re baked and oil free, so you’re able to have an indulgent breakfast without the saturated fat involved. They’re tart and tangy but also sweet and soft and the lemon glaze is the perfect topping to these treats. I’ve made…
Lemon Blueberry Banana Loaf
I woke up this morning craving banana bread and decided to bake a couple to take on vacation. I found a recipe for banana bread on Chocolate Covered Katie and modified it to what I had and removed the oil. It’s still moist, soft, and spongy and I decided to add lemon and blueberry to…
Vegan Cinnamon Swirl Cake
I made this delicious Vegan Cinnamon swirl cake from Vegan Richa on Saturday and it was such a tasty treat! It has common ingredients that I already had in my pantry and I whipped it up in my kitchen aid in about 4 minutes. You make a simple vegan vanilla cake and layer it with…
Vegan Christmas Ideas
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you had a very merry day and have been enjoying the season. We had a great time the last few days spending time with family and friends. As always, the key to being vegan at events is being prepared. You can’t just go with the flow or else you’ll go…
Christmas Baking
Christmas is right around the corner, and I love baking for the holiday season. It’s so much fun and it makes you feel more in the Christmas spirit. I waited until yesterday to make all of the goodies for our Christmas festivities. I wanted to have vegan treats for Josh and I, and to have…
Our Very Vegan Thanksgiving
It’s our 2nd vegan Thanksgiving so this year I have full confidence that we’ll get to enjoy the holiday with some delicious and traditional food, minus the bird. I just spent about 5 hours cooking a feast that we’ll get to enjoy tomorrow, and let’s be real, I just had a pretty hearty sample as…
Cinnamon Apple Banana Oat Muffins
I woke up this morning with fall crispness in the air and was inspired to whip up some fall baking goodies! I’ve been loving using oatmeal flour instead of regular flour in my baked goods and I’ve been experimenting with getting vegan things to rise. I had some apples with spots on them and decided…
Fluffy GF/Vegan Banana Snickerdoodles
My class this year has been so well behaved this year (overall) so it makes me want to bake for them more often as a treat. We are the Blair’s Bakers after all! I have a student with a gluten allergy and another with a nut allergy so I try to find treats that they…
Fudgy Vegan GF Brownies
We’re having a fundraiser going on at school and my class is currently in first place in the school, so I thought they deserved a reward! I have one student who is dairy/gluten free and another allergic to tree nuts. My GF student has her own back up cookies for whenever I bring something that…
Valentine’s Ideas
It’s been a relaxing and rainy weekend and not much cooking has been happening around here until today. Friday we went out with Josh’s family and had sushi and last night we ordered vegetable hibachi in. It was actually pretty good and you can order it without butter and asked for light on the oil,…
New Year’s Football Party Food: Vegan Chili, Cornbread, and Brownies, oh my!
For the football games on New Years Day, my parents had friends over for a viewing party and so I wanted to make something that we could eat. What goes better with football than chili? Not much. My dad has been making the same chili recipe for as long as I can remember and it’s…
Maple- Cinnamon Apple and Pear Baked Oatmeal -Oh She Glows
I made this recipe for breakfast this morning from my new Oh She Glows Cookbook and it was a hearty, warm, and healthy way to start the day. I decided not to peel the apples or pear so that it had a little more texture and color and it turned out great. I’m usually not…
‘Twas a Very Vegan Christmas- Recipes Included
And what a Merry Christmas it was! Christmas is my favorite holiday, my favorite day of the year, and something I look forward to all year long. Some would say I’m still a 5 year old when it comes to Christmas and I love being the one to still run into my family member’s rooms…
Vegan Peppermint and Chocolate Chip Cookies
This was my first time making vegan cookies from scratch and they are amazing! They’re soft, chewy, and chocolatey just like I like them. I added crushed candy canes to the recipe because I’m making them for the holidays and thought they would be more festive and they turned out great. Now I don’t have…
Dark Chocolate Pistachio and Dried Cranberry Bark
Every Christmas our neighbors bake hundreds of goodies and there’s a stash at my parents house that takes up a good portion of the counter. One of the families makes this pistachio and dried cranberry bark and it’s one of my favorites! I wanted to make it vegan so we could still enjoy it this…
Revolution Donuts
We haven’t had donuts since we went vegan so this was a major treat! My friend Chelsea brought Josh some vegan donuts from Revolution donuts and they were amazing! Airy and light with a decadent layer of frosting on top, I’m glad they’re not too close to our house for my jean’s safety. If you’re…
