Breakfast is by far my favorite meal of the day. Many days I go to bed already excited to wake up and eat my first meal. This is especially true when I know I’m having pancakes in the morning. There’s just nothing better than a nice fluffy stack of pancakes on a Sunday morning. As…

Vegan Protein Cookie Dough for One
As a vegan competitive bodybuilder, people often ask me how I manage to get enough protein in my diet. I follow a macro-based approach, where my coach gives me a certain amount of protein, carbs, and fats to eat each day. As far as the actual foods I use to hit those goals, I choose…
Cranberry Oatmeal Scones With Vanilla Glaze
Does anybody else always seem to have a bag of dried cranberries in the pantry leftover from Thanksgiving? No matter what time of year it is, those darn craisins just continue to sit there. You don’t even remember what recipe you bought them for; you probably just threw a handful on a salad or something….
Banana Nut Pancakes (Vegan)
Pancakes are my favorite food of all time. They’re fluffy, sweet, and come in a wide variety of flavors! Not to mention the endless combinations of toppings you can add. Syrup, whipped cream, chocolate, fruit… you name it, I have put it on a pancake! Part of the reason I love pancakes so much is…
Vegan Blueberry Lemon Waffles
Pancakes or waffles? It’s a debate as old as time. Some like the softness of pancakes, while other prefer the crisp edges of waffles. Personally, I have always been on team pancakes, because they remind me of the Saturday mornings of my childhood. However, since purchasing this mini waffle iron while Black Friday shopping, I…
Blueberry Almond Scones With Almond Glaze (Vegan)
Scones are underrated. You see them at coffee shops, and maybe enjoy one with your afternoon tea if you’re British, but for the most part, they’re just not popular. I used to agree with the general consensus that scones are boring until, one day, I actually tried one. Panera was out of my go-to cherry…
Baked Double Chocolate Donuts (Vegan)
Cake donuts may be less popular than their fried counterparts, but they’ve always had a special place in my heart. I definitely have my dad to thank for that, since he almost exclusively ate old fashioned donuts when I was growing up. Yes, plain, unglazed, old-fashioned cake donuts. He loves them, and so do I….
Blueberry Banana Pancakes With Blueberry Sauce (Vegan)
With the coronavirus quarantine going on, many people are sharing productivity tips for working at home. They say you should get up early, exercise, then stick to a strict work schedule. That’s not really my style. I see this time as an opportunity to step back from life and relax a little. In fact, my…
Banana Bread Donuts With Maple Glaze (Vegan)
Everybody knows what to do when bananas go brown: make banana bread. But is that really the only use for overripe bananas? Isn’t there anything else you can make with them? Yes, there is! Banana bread donuts are my current obsession. They’re quicker to make than banana bread, more portable, and well… they’re donuts! Who…
Creamy Homemade Cashew Milk
Have you noticed how much the dairy-free milk industry is growing lately? More and more Americans are buying vegan milk alternatives or ordering non-dairy options at their favorite coffee shop. The crazy thing is that most of these people aren’t vegan, nor are they lactose intolerant. A lot of people are purchasing milk alternatives…
