Pie Lovers' Oatmeal

So I'm not sure whether to put this down as a dessert or a breakfast recipe! 

At holiday meals, whenever the pies come out, I never know which kind of pie to eat, pumpkin or apple. (I usually end up having a slice of both). But with this oatmeal recipe, you don't have to choose!

No-bake "Shortbread" Cookies

You know those tins filled to the brim with those amazing, buttery shortbread cookies that come out this time of year? Yeah. I miss those.

Gluten-free Vegan Pecan Sandies

If you've never had Sandies before, you are seriously missing out. They were one of my favorite recipes to make as a little kid - simple, easy, and delicious. 

Vegan Pumpkin Pancakes

It wouldn't be fall cooking unless there was pumpkin involved! We have plenty of pumpkin on hand (we bought a dozen giant cans) so I put myself to work making a delicious pancake recipe. This makes a rather large batch, so you can always halve the recipe (or just eat them all)!

Vegan Quinoa Sushi

The only dish I ever hesitated giving up when I decided to go vegan was sushi. I was one of those weird people who love the taste of raw fish. And I live for those sushi lunch specials.

I decided to make a vegan sushi roll myself and was really interested in how quinoa would taste since it is so much more nutritionally dense than rice. Thus this recipe was born!

Perfect Chocolate Smoothie

I have been an avid green smoothie drinker since I was a little sophomore in high school, and since then, I've learned some things along the way.

Gluten-free Vegan Cookie Dough Bars

I'm gonna tell you right now. This is the best recipe I've ever made. These bars, inspired by Oh She Glows, actually taste exactly like the Toll House cookie dough that you buy in tubs. Except unlike their unhealthy counterpart, these bars are gluten-free, vegan, free of refined sugars, and under 200 calories! Perfect for a snack before ballet class.

Gluten-free Vegan Pumpkin Bread

It's that time of year. Pumpkin spice EVERYTHING. I've been putting pumpkin purée in practically everything I eat, from oatmeal to smoothies to brownies. We're going through a can a day (not really, but almost).

Every time my dad's family gets together, my Gramma would make this amazing pumpkin bread. She would make huge batches, and it would still be the first thing to disappear at thanksgiving dinner. When she couldn't make it any more, the task fell upon me and my sister to make it every year.
