Two weeks ago I received a beautiful package from
Melissa's Produce that contained the star ingredient of this recipe: kumquats.
I was so excited for the goodies I received, but the excitement had faded, as I had soon realized that I had no idea what I was going to do with four pints of kumquats. I had tried a kumquat about 2 years ago, but I really did not enjoy the sour flavor. But hey, that was 2 years ago, why not try them again? Yeah, I guess they tasted a lot better than I remember, and they are definitely
manageable, but heck no I wouldn't be able to put the whole four pints down before they go bad.
These babies needed a little sweetness, so I played around in the kitchen, and this recipe was born. With the addition of dates, and a small handful of ingredients I had in my pantry, I now know how I am going to eat all of these kumquats. Cookies it is.
Hi 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)!
Carolyn and I collaborated, and I did a guest blog post in her site as well with a little get to know me type interview + my chickpea chocolate chip cooke recipe. You can find my feature here. 
Moist, creamy, pumpkin-y AND still healthy AF ;)
Yuppp, another bread recipe for you guys because you seem to love baked goodies as much as I do ;) I decided to veganize AND health-ify a classic recipe I see every fall, and I am so so pleased with the outcome.
Not only is this bread moist, but it is perfectly sweet + creamy from the cream cheese! Adding cream cheese, nut butters, etc. is common practice for a lot of people when enjoying bread, so why not have the two already married into one? ❤️ 
If you live in Los Angeles, and you're vegan, I am quite certain you have heard of 
YES, this happened.
The thought of chocolate being paired with kale kind of blew my mind. Initially, I just said why? But the pairing sparked my curiosity...I had to have it. If it involves kale, I'M IN!
If you aren't fond of kale, or if your kiddies who refuse to eat their greens, these are a great way to eat your kale! Sweet, crunchy, and rich deep dark chocolate flavor.

This is the Best Raw Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream I have ever tasted.
A bold statement, yes. The truth? ABSOLUTELY.
This is the ice cream that I used as a base for my 
Feast your eyes on this beautiful pre-oven cobbler! Be sure that after you place all of the stone fruit into the batter, pour the remaining juices and sugar over it, that way you get all of the sweet fruity goodness.
