Vegan Pepper Poppers
These vegan pepper poppers are a crowd favorite! And I'm not just saying that, they've been a hit at multiple family parties - filled with family members who don't eat healthy BTW!

Thanksgiving Cauliflower Stuffed Squash
As I was brainstorming what Thanksgiving recipes I would make this year, I had to really get creative considering I'm not eating animal protein (outside of eggs and fish)! Something that popped to mind was a hearty, Thanksgiving Cauliflower Stuffed Squash Recipe. I've been a huge proponent of squash this fall season and I've been LOVING it. To be totally honest, it's something that I shied away from in the past since it's a higher carb veggie, but I'm in a phase where I'm doing everything in moderation, and tuning in with what I'm craving and leaning into those cravings. And...

Bangin’ (Vegan) Beet Pesto
To be honest, I've totally been on a pesto craze as of late. I've also been on a beet pesto too if we're getting specific!

Vegan Dark Chocolate Bark
Anyone else a sweets feen?! Recently, I've been indulging non-stop. Given this, I've been making it a point to have a healthy treat on hand at all times. Sometimes that may just simply be a piece of Lily's Dark Chocolate, while other times I decide to get fancy and make something like this Vegan Dark Chocolate Bark! Lily's Sweets also prides itself on being sweetened with Stevia in lieu of sugar. This is something I can get behind!

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Chickpea Skillet
Alright, it’s no secret by now that I am a SUCKER for sweets. It’s my weakness, I’m well aware of it and I don’t mind it at all.
