When writing, I tend to get bored and can't spend more than half an hour sitting and writing. So, this novel I'm planning on finishing is going to take longer than I expected. I'd hoped to be finished by March. Now, that just seems unrealistic.
But maybe that's all for the best. After all, I'm not even in college yet. Maybe this trilogy I'm planning to write isn't meant to be, and I'll find a greater plot to develop.
For awhile,...

Spicy Crackers
When I say spicy crackers, I mean spicy crackers. These babies are HOT!
My
mom decided to get rid of chips for Lent this year, so she asked me to
make some crackers for her. "Mom," I asked. "Aren't those considered
chips?" She said no, so if you ever get rid of chips for Lent, this
should be your go to recipe.

Meatloaf
Meatloaf is a staple in my house. We eat it all
the time.It's great for special occasions, family get-to-togethers, or
just a quick Monday night dinner. (It can be eaten any day of week,
though.) I'm sure it'll become one of your favorite recipes. Except, if
you're a vegetarian, it might not be.
What
am I doing?! I'm stealing the...

Strawberry Surprise Smoothie
Okay guys, trust me on this one.
I'd gone in for a barium
test a couple weeks ago and the lady who does quantum light therapy for
me said to drink carrot juice with a handful of spinach afterward. She
said this would help counteract the harmful chemicals and dye in the
barium.
Look at that bright red strawberry!
At first, I was...

Banana Muffins
*This recipe is adapted from Lucy Rosset's SCD cook book.
Ooey gooey banna muffins
I
scream, you scream, we all scream for BANANA MUFFINS!!!! Okay, I admit,
that needs some touching up. Anyone want to work on that? Seriously, these muffins need their own slogan or something. There are just that good.
I
swear. Ask anyone ...

Dairy-Free Vanilla Fudgesicles
I made some pudding out of cashews.
Cashews?
Yes, cashews. And let me tell you, it was one of the best puddings I've ever had. Smooth, creamy, slightly nutty fudgesicles. They're a cinch to make and a guarantee they'll be a hit.
A little pudding PacMan ghost
I was browsing the Gluten Free Fix's site when day, when this particular...

Hunger Games Recipe Round-Up
As you probably know (if you're a die-hard Hunger Games fan like me) that The Hunger Games DVD comes out a week from today.
In
honor of the occasion I've made a recipe roundup of all the recipes
associated with the Hunger Games. It seemed extremely appropriate to add
at least two bread recipes, seeing as how Peeta is a baker and all....
Cheese Bread
What bread tab would be complete without a cheese bread recipe? Well, a vegan tab would, but that's not the point.This bread is cheesy, delicious, and makes an excellent pizza crust. It makes the perfect addition to any soup or dinner.I
think it would be good for breakfast, too. Use it to make a breakfast
sandwich! Oh my goodness, that sounds good right now. Yum, bacon.
Delicious. Maybe I'll have this for breakfast one...
Coconut Melties
For these I give all the credit to one of my favorite food bloggers-
Chocolate Covered Katie! Now, normally I don't like coconut- blech.
Something about the flavor turns me off, I don't know what, though. This
recipe, however, is not too coconuty for my taste. It might be because
the almond and cherries counteract the flavor of the...
Spice Cake
All the credit must go to Elana Amsterdam. She is a genius for coming up
with this recipe. We absolutely love this recipe. It is one of my
favorite non-chocolate recipes. Well, besides key lime pie, this is one
of my favorites. Which is surprising since I generally don't like spice
cake.
But this cake is moist and tastes like Christmas.Have...
Beef Stew
This has always been one of my favorite winter recipes. Especially when
it's served with homemade bread. It's full of hot vegetables, juicy
beef, and is absolutely one of the best comfort foods on this planet.
A big bowl of comforting stew
If I ever feel the depressing pull of winter, my mom and I make a pot of stew or soup....
Vegan Blueberry Peach Muffins
Okay, I promise this'll be the last
muffin recipe for awhile. (That is, unless y'all want more????) But I
swear that these are so one of the best muffins you'll ever eat. In
fact, they're my favorite muffin recipe of all time.
A
week or so ago, my mom bought a ton of fresh peaches and blueberries
from the farmer's market. They...
Molasses Cookie Larabars
It tastes like a soft molasses cookie. Except it's healthier than a
cookie. With no sugar, flour, eggs, or butter this will be one of the
healthiest cookies you'll ever eat. There's just one problem.It's not a cookie.
What?!?!Yup,
you heard me. But, yet, it tastes soooooo much like the molasses
cookies Grandma used to make when you...
Cinnamon Muffins
These muffins were so pretty when they came out of the oven! They had
the most beautiful cracks on the top and smelled wonderful they whole
time they were baking.
Instead of cinnamon apple muffins, I
decided regular cinnamon muffins would be good and they were! I had a
friend over and she loved them, my sister's friend loved them,...
Goodwill.......... And Why It Is My Favorite Store Ever
So I bought this plate:
This plate:
This glass:
And this glass:
All for $2.68 at Goodwill. Can you believe it? Four pieces of glass dishware for $2.68! That's an awesome deal. Epic even.Today was 50% off the entire store. We couldn't have gone to Goodwill on a better day. The
thing I love about Goodwill is that the stuff...
Demolition
I've decided to tear my story apart.
BOOM!
That's right, strip it right down to the bone. I wanna get to the core, so I can completely and thoroughly evaluate my novel.
I
came to this conclusion one day while I was writing. I had gotten to an
intense action scene and suddenly, I stopped. I asked my self, What does my story really...
Peeta (Pita) Bread
So today I tried to make pita bread using this recipe, except I replaced the eggs with flax eggs. I didn't work.I failed miserably.
The
pita bread wasn't at all like pita bread. That doesn't mean it tasted
bad, though! It smelled, looked, and tasted good all the same. I bet if
you tried to make this with regular eggs it would work...
Vegan Lemon Muffins
This recipe is inspired by Lucy Rosset's Lemon Yogurt Muffins. If you're interested in buying her cookbook you can by it here. The recipe sounded really good, but it had lots of dairy in it. I was disappointed, but determined to make them vegan so I could eat a lemon muffin. I'm so glad I tried!These
muffins are moist, lemony, and...
Living With SMA Syndrome
I'm being completely upfront when I say this-I hate it. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. Imagine
hardly ever getting hungry, feeling full all the time, nauseous,
abdominal pain like knives stabbing you. It's hard to live a normal life
when you're being plagued with these things. I try
really hard to ignore it. I try to be up beat and pretend like I have
lots of energy but I don't. Mentally and physically, I'm exhausted....

Vegan Pizza
All I have to say about this pizza is- om nom nom. It's sooooo delicious! You have no idea how happy I was when I finally got to sink my teeth into the first bite. I could've cried. I don't remember the last time I had pizza. It was at least last November or October.
Oh my goodness, how sad is that?!
We used to have pizza at least once...
Raw PB&J
Originally, I was gonna post this recipe tomorrow. But they were so good I just couldn't wait!
Think of peanut butter and jelly in the form of a soft, delicious cookie. Yum, right? I'm seriously addicted to these. A-D-D-I-C-T-E-D!I had to stop myself from eating more than just one, because I was so full already.
I recommend doubling...
2D Characters
The hardest part about writing a book is making believable characters.
Some people might tell you that writing a good plot is hard or a
realistic setting. But, truthfully, that's not hard at all (in my
opinion).
Settings are like seeds. They grow and blossom in
your mind until they're fully matured. They grow until all the details
in...
Cinnamon Apple Muffins
These muffins are yummy. Especially with brown sugar on the top. But if
your body doesn't handle sugar very well, don't worry, I have an
excellent cinnamon topping recipe.I got the idea for a cinnamon
apple muffin when I was thinking of different types of muffins. One
that specifically popped into my head were the cinnamon apple...

Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream
I'm just the messenger in this post. If you want the original recipe head on over to Chocolate Covered Katie's blog. I'll just tell you what I put in mine.As
summer approaches, the one food that I've been craving for awhile now
is ice cream. Smooth, creamy, rich, delicious ice cream. But dairy-free
store bought ice cream is so darn...
