Date-Sweetened Turmeric Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies {gluten, oil and refined sugar-free}Creamy, chocolatey, melt-in-your-mouth goodness that is oil- gluten- & refined-sugar free...can I get a what what? I had tahini leftover from my Curried Tahini & Potato Dip that I made last week, but I wasn't in the mood for another savory recipe. So naturally what do you do when you have leftover nut or seed butter? Well COOKIES, of course ;) [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTWIYOBcWic[/embed] I created a recipe video for these cookies, and I hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think <3

Like everyone else is probably saying in their end of the year posts, where did this year go? I still remember what I was doing at this time last year, and now I am prepping this blog post for you guys and getting ready for a cozy night in with my family in Big Bear, CA :) Today I am going to round up the top 10 2016 favorites that you and I enjoyed this year + bits of what was happening in my life during those recipes :) It's funny how looking back at food photos for me is just as nostalgic as any other photo, I can remember my life at that time.

Chai Spiced Hot Cocoa Mix In A Jar - DIY Vegan Holiday Gift sweetsimplevegan.com There's nothing like a warm cup of hot cocoa on a cold December day in front of the Christmas Tree :) Growing up, my family often gathered around the tree at night and my mom would make us a big pot of hot cocoa to share, so it is definitely a must have tradition for us every year. This year I thought it would be fun to make a homemade mix to gift to my family + you all as well. Instead of bringing you an average vegan hot cocoa mix, I'm going to share with you a chai spiced one!
