I’m currently having a love affair with my cookbooks. In fact, since Greg has been gone, I have a pile cozily lying next to me on my bed. I even just bought a professional pastry chef book this week. No seriously. This book is no joke. Like 4″ thick no joke. It lies in Greg’s spot for the…

Homemade Circus Animal Cookies
Homemade Circus Animal Cookies. You bring me back to my childhood, you. One memory I hold dear to my heart occurred 3 years ago when I was at a birthday party. My 6-year-old niece sat at the table, looking at all of the kids bite into their pieces of pizza while she sat there with an…
Gluten free Vegan Oreos
Friends, it’s time to get serious. We need to have “the” talk. No, not that talk. The other talk. You know, the one where we sit down and discuss why on earth 2 chocolate cookies sandwiched between a thick cream tastes soooooo insanely good? And why did it take me so long to recreate…

Vegan Better Cheddars
Calling all snackers: Am I alone in my deep love for Better Cheddars? Anyone even remember these round, cheesy, crunchy crackers? Better yet, do they even still sell these at the stores anymore??? I could really go for Vegan Better Cheddars right now. I posed the question on Facebook last night, “What was your favorite childhood snack growing…
