Vegan Dark Chocolate Strawberry Cream Truffles
I’m on strike! I have the touch of death in the kitchen when it comes to baking as of late. I’m failing royally at everything I have a go at. It’s the endless cycle of baking gluten, egg, and dairy-free. You can never think you have arrived because there is always something new to learn,...
Non-dairy Hershey Kisses
Remember this post when I made you guess what was peculiar about the picture; if you could find the item that didn’t belong in a gluten-free/vegan diet?

Having a blog can be a lot of work. {Especially for someone like me who pours her heart into the things she loves} …and this blog is definitely something I love. I can easily put 30 hours a week into this. Part because I am crazy. Part because this is my passion. Part because I...
The Rantings of an Anthropologie Snob
So yesterday I paid an overdue visit to the mall. {And by overdue, I mean it’s been about a week}. So yes, there I was at the mall, browsing through several stores and this thought overwhelmingly hit me: My God, do these stores just suck! Now friends, this isn’t the first time I have thought this,...
Candy that touches my {candy corn} heart.
It’s that time again! Holiday-themed food time. {applause} And what better way to kick off our month of Valentine’s Day treats than to make homemade candy?!
