Summer Squash Bread with Chocolate Chips
Our garden has produced a lot of huge veggies this year including yellow squash! We have more than we know what to do with so I decided to get creative with baking. I got to thinking that maybe I could make a sweet bread with some of the squash since you can make things with pumpkin or zucchini so why not squash? Don’t get scared off because there’s squash in here. I promise you that it will almost just like zucchini bread except a little more fun! This bread tastes so good fresh out of the oven. You can eat leftovers cold or heat them up with a slather of…

Peanut Butter Black Bean Brownies
Hey everyone! I am back from Quebec and ready for some baking! I had so much fun during my time in Quebec! I met so many people, learned French, and ate lots of delicious Chocolat Favoris ice cream. I immediately made some Rhubarb Crisp when I got home and then decided to experiment with a new recipe! I think this is the first time I have made black bean brownies. And now I wonder why I didn’t make them sooner! These are gooey, sweet, and decadent. You would never guess that black beans are the main ingredient. I will be making them again ASAP!

Strawberry Grapefruit Ricotta Cake
This cake is soooo good! I don’t even know what else to tell you. Just believe me when I say it’s amazing! This cake is so soft and fluffy. It practically melts in your mouth which is perfectly balanced by the sweet fruit. Did you know that ricotta is one of the healthiest cheeses?! Ricotta is full of calcium, zinc, and vitamin A. It also tends to have less calories and fat than most other cheeses (especially if you use skim or low fat ricotta. However, if you what to make this a little healthier you can use cottage cheese. I haven’t tried this so I can’t tell you how…

It’s strawberry and rhubarb reason and you know that means I’m going to be baking lots of fruity dishes! Last year I made this Rhubarb Crisp several times so I decided to try out something new!

If you’re anything like me then you love Rosé wine. Personally it is my favorite wine so when Amanda from The Glorious Grape asked me to join her Say Yes to Rosé collaboration, I was down!

Simple Raw Brownies
I have slowly been becoming obsessed with raw no-bake desserts! And since I especially love chocolate brownies, I knew that I had to make a raw brownie recipe! I find these ones reminiscent of Little Debbie’s Cosmic Brownies, especially with the sprinkles! Which I used to eat all the time when I was little! If anyone knows how to recreate those with a healthy twist but still just as fudgy please let me know ASAP! These brownies are still better than Cosmic Brownies and maybe even more delicious! They’re also vegan, raw, gluten free, paleo, and have no refined sugar! They contain: Cocoa powder Coconut Oil Almonds Dates Maple Syrup Cinnamon…

Yeast Free Vegan Super Cinnamon Rolls
These cinnamon rolls are so good I had to force myself to stop eating them! Best of all they have no yeast so you can make them super quick. Why are they called Super Cinnamon Rolls? Because there is extra cinnamon in the batter and the frosting! If you’re going to have a cinnamon roll, you better commit to the cinnamon! Am I right? Personally I loooove cinnamon, I put it in almost everything! So if you’re with me don’t be afraid of the extra cinnamon. It makes the cinnamon taste prominent throughout the rolls.
