The last batch of granola left us craving more. I know, I was poking fun at all the outlandish sweetened flavors of granola there are on the market. My intentions were simple enough, but then it got a little crazy.…
Vegan Vanilla Donut Granola
Vegan Rhubarb Scones
Rhubarb is an amazing treat baked in to a pies, stewed into a sauce, or as the flavor of one of my favorite soda pops. You find the best rhubarb at a local farmers market, but it is also available…
Peanut Butter and Jelly Granola
Ever since the 1960s, when they started adding fruit and nuts to it, granola has been synonymous with health food and hippies. Though, modern granola is miles from being a health food, drenched in honey and filled with preservatives—not the…

Vegan Whole Wheat Gingerbread Cookies
Gingerbread is my number 1 favorite type of cookie—thick, soft and chewy. I don’t even ice or frost my gingerbread, but it’s a nice little touch when people other than me are partaking. Bake a little long and roll a…
