Hello friends! I’m hoping that this brownie baked oatmeal will help me pull out of the blogging slump I’ve been in lately. And if it doesn’t, I’m not sure anything will! This yummy little treat is: chewy, rich, dense, moist, extra chocolatey, and everything a brownie should be. In a healthy baked oatmeal. What could …
These vegan and naturally gluten-green thumbprint cookies are the perfect treat for Christmas Eve, to sustain you as you wrap up preparations for your Christmas celebration. Advent always passes by very quickly for me, and I’m usually caught up in the throes of shopping, wrapping, baking, making lists, and panicking a bit over everything I …
Hello friends! This here chocolate mousse is soooo rich… soooo creamy… soooo chocolatey… sooo0 decadent, and sooo0 easy to make, that even though I didn’t do my usual photo shoot, I’m giving you the recipe anyway.
