Chocolate Banana Pie Squares (vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free)
These bars are amazing! I love the filling because it is just bananas! (pun intended) They are such a great healthy alternative for any chocolate or banana dessert. The crust is chocolately and delicate. The filling is packed with banana flavor and so creamy! They taste just as creamy and maybe even more delicious than your average banana pie. Plus they are gluten free, vegan, and free of refined sugars! I could barely notice myself that they were healthy when I tried them because I really felt like I was indulging! I adapted them from here and didn’t realize until after I finished making them that the creator suggested not using…

Deadly Double Chocolate Cookies
These double chocolate cookies are perfect for when you have an intense chocolate craving! You will not regret making these when the moment arises. Finally we have some nice weather and I can take photos outside! I much prefer the outdoor lighting since I only use natural lights in my photos. I don’t have any fancy light equipment yet and I honestly think natural light is the best when the conditions are right! They have a chewy and soft texture as well as a deep chocolate flavor thanks to the abundance of cocoa powder. They’re also vegan! You can omit the cinnamon if it’s not your thing but I love…

Healthy Ancient Roman Cheesecake
Yes this recipe is from Christmas don’t judge This cheesecake is not only healthy but historic! It is based off an ancient Roman cake called Savillum! I based the recipe from this one so check out that link for more history of the cake! It is made with ingredients that you would have found way back in ancient Rome. This includes cottage cheese, honey, and poppy seeds. You may use ricotta instead of cottage cheese. I think this would be more smooth with ricotta but also ricotta is way more expensive! I thought it was still amazing and smooth with cottage cheese. I made this for a Saturnalia party and the…

Lavender Lemon Loaf Cake (vegan)
Last month I went to Seattle! This was my first time in the city and I had a blast! I was swing dancing all night and exploring the city during the day. I went to the Pike Place Market and fell in love with the flowers there. I also went to the best thrift stores in the world (like seriously Seattle has some good stuff) One of my favorite things about the city though was the lavender just growing everywhere! There was lavender growing by the streets in the middle of city and big lavender plants planted by walkways. Lavender was growing like a weed! I would often pick some…

Rhubarb Cream Scones
Happy summer everyone! My favorite part of summer has to be the rhubarb from our garden! With an endless supply of rhubarb, I can make as many crips (one here another here) and other rhubarb treats as I want! This recipe requires some chilling time. If you have the time, I suggest chilling for as long as you can because it will result in fluffier scones that hold their shape! I don’t always chill for quite as long but these still turn out great. So at least chill them for a bit of you can! I may also make a gluten free version of these! Let me know if that…
