What’s your favorite cupcake flavor? Mine is red velvet for sure. And yes, I know that it is technically just chocolate cake dyed red, but it’s still my favorite! First of all, it’s different from chocolate because it comes with cream cheese icing (which is undoubtedly the best frosting). Second, it looks way prettier! Like,…

Sesame Ginger Roasted Eggplant
Growing up, eggplant was one of my least favorite foods. It was one of the few vegetables that, even when she battered and fried it, my mom could not get me to eat. As I’ve gotten older, however, I’ve learned to appreciate its tender texture. Eggplant is a fantastic base for seasonings, as it absorbs…
Vegan Banana Bread Protein Pancakes
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…
Quick and Easy Vegan Corn Fritters
Let’s talk appetizers. Everybody loves finger foods, but for hosts they can be a nightmare. What can you make that everyone will enjoy? Does it fit the rest of the menu? Will it be too filling? Not to mention trying to please a wide variety of ages. If you are hosting a dinner that both…
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…
Vegan Sweet Potato Gnocchi With Cherry Tomatoes
Have you ever heard of gnocchi? It’s a potato-based pasta that originated in northern Italy. I first tried during my middle school years, when I went on a European tour with my school’s choir. We didn’t visit Italy, but we were served gnocchi at one of our group dinners in Slovakia. I was hesitant to…
