Halloween and Novel Writing

First of all, I hope everyone on the East Coast is doing well. I have an aunt and cousins who live there and I was really worried about them. They are fine and didn't even lose power over the weekend! Meaning they'll be coming for Christmas. Yay! That was off topic. Anyways, I wish all the people on the coast the best of luck and really...

Funfetti Cupcakes

Don't tell me you don't remember those fun Pillsbury cakes with the sprinkles in them?! You know, the ones they call Confetti cakes. Those we're my absolute favorite cakes when I was little. I made my grandma throw one together every year for my birthday. My sister's birthday was coming up and she requested funfetti cupcakes. The...

Link Love: Candy Recipes for Halloween

I don't have very many candy recipes. But I do have a lot of breakfast ones! Unfortunately, that doesn't help me right now. :( I'm still working on making those 3 Musketeers, but due to the fact that I'm sick and not allowed in the kitchen, I haven't gotten very far on them. Sooooo, you might be getting the recipe after Halloween. Oh well. Instead of giving you my recipes, I can give you the next best thing- EVERY ONE ELSE'S!!! ...

Apple Cider Slushie

I've had upper respiratory junk this week. :( Lots of phlegm, lots of coughing, and lots of sinus headaches. Oh, do I ever have a complicate relationship with fall. I love it, but hate the allergies and sickness. Anyways, the only things that have been sounding good are cold foods and drinks. Like apple cider, grape juice, almond milk,...

A happiness project is just like it sounds, a project about happiness. And there is a story about how I found out about it. Last April, we were in Maryland visiting my aunt, and we took a just-girl's...

Where's the Lettuce? Salad

This is one the best non-lettuce salads I've ever had. Well, at least vegetable salad. Cool, crisp, and fresh It is perfect for a summer meal, because it is cool and refreshing. My mom has made this for years, and I've loved it for years. I'd pair it with hot dogs, fish, or hamburgers. It'd be a great salad to take to a potluck...

Vegan Pumpkin Pie

I'm not smart enough to come up with this recipe on my own. (Okay, I probably could've come up with something given enough time, but I only had a few days to devise a recipe, which definitely was not long enough.) But I did modify it somewhat. The pumpkin filling recipe is from Pure2Raw and the crust from Barefoot & Eloquent. The crust was definitely something to marvel at. It was flaky just like a regular gluten crust....

Blueberry Scones

This recipe is based off of Elana Amsterdam's chocolate chip scone recipes. May I present.... blueberry scones! One of my favorite breakfast foods. I just couldn't resist the ribbon I make these once a week due to popular demand at my house.  It gets kind of exhausting making baked goods once a week, but it's always worth...

My Birthday!

The one thing I was really stressing about for my birthday was the cupcakes. How does one make I good gluten, egg, xantham gum, and dairy free cupcake? They go on the Internet. Which is exactly what I did. I came across Ginger Lemon Girl's homemade vanilla cupcake recipe and modified it to suit my needs. I think I changed it up so much...
