I published my very first blog post on October 7, 2013 for my
Spicy Cheezy Kale Chips, and since then, I have published 235 blog posts, say whaaat! I created a blog after my passion that grew from connecting with and inspiring others through Instagram, ere I am now, and this blog that has become for me something more than I would have ever expected it to be.
The only reason why I am able to do what I do is because you,
YOU! That is why YOU deserve a gift to commemorate this accomplishment. You all have an equally important role as I, I would not have a blog if you were not here to share it with!
Dare I say this is the BEST vegan creamed corn? I have reason to make such a statement, I couldn't believe how good this turned out.
There are a TON of vegan creamed corn recipes online that use coconut milk, and that always threw me off.

What I have been trying to do over the last few years is veganize as many of my mothers traditional recipes that I can, and creamed corn has been a big challenge for me. I assumed that the coconut would compromise the flavor, so I never gave it a shot. I also I didn't know if it would live up to the same appeal of the other to my family. After being unsatisfied with other non-dairy milk alternatives (I have tried soy and almond), it was my last shot, and I hoped for the best.

Growing up, I used to LOVE my mom's stuffing, I thought she was the most talented chef in the kitchen based on this one dish, as she would deliver every year, and the flavor would always be spot on. Once I grew up, my mom shared her secret recipe with me when I aided her in Thanksgiving prep....Stove Top Stuffing...uhhh, I'll pass!
Once going vegan, and shifting away from processed, prepackaged foods, I needed to find myself a replacement for this family 'tradition' we used to share. I also wanted to challenge myself and try for a gluten-free recipe as well. 
My friends 
Winter is approaching, and although that doesn't mean much in LA, I know a lot of you in colder climates will dig this recipe for that cozy feel you crave when you're stuck indoors!
My boyfriend 
I decided to change things up a bit and try my hand a savory snack. When I want to nibble on something throughout the day, savory treats are sometimes necessary, but not as often available to to me unless I dig into veggies or something like avocado toast. I wanted to create a quick grab a handful and go type of snack and this was a winner! Not only is this great for snacks but it also pairs well with
