Blog

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. I am excited for all of the fun and exciting recipes to come in 2017, I have a lot in store for you! Dill & Chive Bean Dip Or Spread {Oil-Free, Low-Fat} sweetsimplevegan.com

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!

10-Ingredient Sweet Potato Falafel - Guest Post sweetsimplevegan.comHi all, happy Tuesday! :) My page was well overdue for a guest post, can you believe it's been almost two years since my last with Cissy Lala on Vegan Parenting + Banana Coconut Dark Chocolate Chip Muffins?! I definitely had to change that. I am here up share with you all a blog and individual I know you're going to love, Carolyn of Carolyn's Pantry. I asked her to tell us a bit about her plant based journey, and to share an easy vegan recipe with you all (you're going to love it)!
