Candied sweet potatoes with lots of butter and marshmallows used to be THE DISH at my family Thanksgiving dinners every year, or at least for me it was. I don't know what it was that drew me to it.

I could have swapped the butter with some earth balance and used vegan marshmallows instead, but I wanted a recipe more agreeable with my whole-foods, plant-based diet.
When Yvonne and I discussed the concept of this recipe for our 2014 Vegan Gluten-free

I read and reviewed this book on a previous post, which you can find here <3 I definitely recommend this book to those that are transitioning into a plant-based diet. It covers basic topics of transitioning as well as specifics in cooking techniques that will help you improve your skills in the kitchen as well.
Healthy, Chocolate, Hummus?! What?! YES.

I really thought that by the time this fall holiday season ended, I would be all pumpkin'd out, but I'm still on a pumpkin kick!
I made another batch of my Pumpkin Pecan Milk and decided I would see how it would turn out as a Sweet Pumpkin Chia Pudding and oh my, this recipe is heaven in a cup. It is so light, yet it's decadent and creamy. My parents thought I was serving them some vegan junk food, and they devoured it! 
After you have made your beloved nut milks, what do you do with the pulp? Make brownies, of course!
Homemade raw nut milks have been my thang recently, all thanks to 
Mmmm, I've been going a little pumpkin crazy lately but I'm loving every moment of it. I've been making my fat-free
