Collard Greens Hummus Wrap Can I assume you’re here because you’re looking for something healthy? Well, BAM. Look no further! I’m not sure about you guys, but the heavy eating over the holidays is turning me a little pudgy. To ease the effects of the winter weight gain, I try to eat at clean as […]

Roasted Garlic Hummus. Fall is so close. SOOOOOOO close. It’s the only thing I can think about right now as I sit here praying for cooler weather. As a Seattle native, this business of weeks and weeks of over 97 degree weather has me somehow feeling depressed and super housebound. Any time I hear a droplet […]

Raw Coconut Passionfruit Pudding Recipe I know it’s supposed to be fall, but someone has apparently forgotten to tell the weather that. Last week we had a definite cold streak which left me in comfy, cozy sweaters craving nothing but pumpkin pastries and lattes and whatnot, making me feel like falling leaves and Halloween are […]

Pumpkin Spice Popcorn.  I am overjoyed by the potential that the weather is cooling down. I can’t even tell you how ready I am for soup and hot chocolate days by the fireplace. I live for rain and blankets and cozy candlelight. It’s the time of weather that allows me to catch up on my […]

Corn and Black Bean Salsa. It was a looooooooooooooong weekend! You guys! You won’t believe what I did! I went recipe-creating crazy and I came up with a gagillion recipes to satisfy every craving imaginable and then… well… then I lost my notebook. Yeah. That notebook.

Cinnamon Cocoa Coated AlmondsI could listen to Liam Neeson talk all day long. Aaalllll dayyyyy. His voice has this smooth, velvety richness to it that I find very soothing.

I see you’ve got a little secret you’re trying to keep from me… Is it that you’re studded with little jewels of pomegranate, or is it that you’re vegan? A vegan brownie that tastes this good? How is that even possible? Perhaps it’s because, among your many secrets, you’re […]

Black Pepper and Cranberry Maple Glazed Pecans.  Palm Springs was excellent and my birthday was a blast. This year, being at my parents’ home in La Quinta, I spent my birthday with my parents and their friends that I’ve known since I was but a wee child. Kevin (a fellow redhead) and Jeanneane Kelly and […]

Vegan Gelatin with Chia SeedsSo, looking for a fun, refreshing, low calorie, low sugar snack that jiggles like Jell-O and is also vegan? These should satisfy your craving! Made from agar agar, a sea plant, this is one awesome way to avoid the animal-derived gelatin (which to Cupcake’s chagrin, is usually made of pork 🙁 […]

Kale chips are my thighs’ best friend. They have saved me from so many nights of craving tortilla chips and popcorn. They love to be put in a big bowl and be eaten like popcorn while I watch a movie. They also really like to accompany mouth-watering dishes like Black Pepper Sesame Sea Scallops . And […]
