I love biscuits! We make them for breakfast, lunch and dinner in my house! We were planning on having soup for dinner one night and I decided that I had to have biscuits as well. I made 'regular' biscuits for my family, but of course I tried my hand at making vegan biscuits for myself!<br />

<br />
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
1 1/2 cup Flour<br />
<br />
2 tsp Baking Powder<br />
<br />
1 tsp Salt<br />
<br />
5 tbs Sugar ( optional but recommended )<br />
<br />
1/3 cup room temp. Coconut Oil<br />
<br />
1/3-1/2 cup nondairy Milk<br />
<br />
1. Preheat over to 450 F.<br />
2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl.<br />
3. Use a fork to work the coconut oil into the flour mix. You should get a dry lumpy mixture.<br />
4. Slowly add in the nondairy milk until you have a sticky dough consistency.<br />
5. Grease or line a baking sheet.<br />
6. Use your hands or a biscuit mold to create your desired shape. Place the biscuits fairly close together on the baking sheet.<br />
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until they have started to turn a golden brown color.<br />
8. Remove from the pan and enjoy right away!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Ingredients:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
1/2 cup melted Coconut Oil<br />
<br />
1 cup Sugar ( I used brown sugar but white or coconut sugar will work fine too)<br />
<br />
1 tsp Vanilla Extract <br />
<br />
1/2 cup Almond Milk <br />
<br />
1 3/4 cup All Purpose Flour <br />
<br />
1 tsp Baking Powder<br />
<br />
1/4 tsp Salt <br />
<br />
1/2 cup Dairy Free Chocolate Chips <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Method:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with oil or parchment paper. <br />
<br />
Melt coconut oil and mix with sugar and vanilla. Add in Almond Milk and stir to combine.<br />
<br />
Fold in the flour, salt and baking power. Once combined, fold in choc chips. <br />
<br />
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and flatten slightly with your hands. Place them on the baking sheet 1-inch apart to allow for spreading. <br />
<br />
Baking for 8-10 minutes or until just set on the edges. Allow to cool on the pan for 3-4 minutes before removing and placing on a while rack. <br />
<br />
Enjoy with a glass of almond milk or cup of coffee! <br />

I made these cookies one weekend to have as a sweet treat! I loved how easy they were to make and how delicious they ended up being! <br />
<br />
These cookies could easily become oatmeal raisin, cranberry, cowboy, snickerdoodle cookies if some ingredients were added or swapped out. Play around with the recipe and see what you can come up with! <br />

The cookie dough alone was delicious and beautiful. I couldn't stop myself from eating it.....I almost had no dough for actually cookies! But, the good thing is, this dough is VEGAN, so if you wanted to eat the whole batch, you could. No raw eggs here! <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">Recipe</span></u></strong><br />
<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;"></span></u></strong><br />
<strong>2 cups All Purpose Flour </strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>1 tsp Baking Powder</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>1 tsp Baking Soda</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>1/2 tsp Salt </strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>5 tbs Vegan Sprinkles ( optional )</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>1 cup Sugar </strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>1/2 cup Vegetable Oil ( melted coconut oil would do well here also )</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>1/4 cup Nondairy Milk ( I went for coconut, but almond or cashew would be fine too)</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar </strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>1 tsp Vanilla Extract </strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span></u></strong><br />
<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;"></span></u></strong><br />
<strong>1. </strong>Preheat oven to 375F. Line or grease a baking sheet. <br />
<strong>2. </strong>Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sprinkles. <br />
<strong>3. </strong>Add in the sugar, oil, milk, vinegar and vanilla and fold to combine.<br />
<strong>4. </strong>Use a spoon or your hands to form 1-2 inch dough balls. Do not press the balls down too much as they will spread during baking. <br />
<strong>5. </strong>Give plenty of space between the cookies. <br />
<strong>6. </strong>Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm and there is a hint of brownness. <br />
<strong>7. </strong>Remove cookies from baking pan on to a wire rack to cool. <br />
<strong>8. </strong>Enjoy some delicious sugar cookies! <br />

I was so excited to eat these cookies! I hadn't had good, gooey sugar cookies in a while, and these did not disappoint! I probably could have eaten the whole batch before they cooled off! My 4, almond 5 yr old brother also was a big fan! <br />

These are perfect cookies to make during the holidays! You can customize them by adding in whatever you'd like. I think chocolate chips, candy cane pieces, crushed Oreos, or cranberries would be excellent in these cookies! They are also the perfect cookie to make with kids to leave out for Santa, or to eat with some hot cocoa! <br />

I love holiday bark. We would make it or buy some every holiday season, and the whole family enjoyed it. After going vegan, I thought I would never have it again, but I was wrong! I didn't know how easy it was to make vegan! <br />

I stuck with some traditional toppings for my holiday bark ( candy canes and cranberries and coconut) but you really could add anything to the top. Pumpkin seeds, crusted pretzels, goji berries, dried raspberries.....the list goes on! <br />

Let the chilled pan sit out for 10 minutes or so before you break up the bark. You could also use a knife or cookie cutters to get more precise shapes! <br />

I love ginger bread! Cookies or in bread form, I don't care! This recipe is so molasses-y and ginger-y, the flavors go so well together! Its delicious with some hot tea, coffee, vegan-nog, or some hot cocoa! I also love some coconut vanilla ice cream with it! <br />

<strong>Ingredients:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
2 1/3 cup All Purpose Flour<br />
1 tsp Baking Powder<br />
1 tsp Baking Soda<br />
1 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger<br />
2 tsp AllSpice<br />
1 tsp Salt <br />
2 tsp Vanilla<br />
1/2 cup Coconut Oil ( not melted but not rock-hard)<br />
1 cup Sugar<br />
3/4 cup Molasses<br />
1 cup Boiling Water<br />
3 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar.<br />
<br />
<strong>Process:</strong><br />
Heat oven to 375. Grease a loaf pan and set aside.<br />
In a stand mixer, or by hand, beat coconut oil, sugar , vanilla and salt together until well combined and fluffy. Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, and ginger and mix to combine. This mixture will be dry and crumbly.<br />
In a separate bowl, mix together boiling water, molasses and apple cider vinegar. Slowly add hot mixture into the flour mixture and mix to combine. <br />
Pour into greased pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a tooth pick inserted in the middle comes out clean. <br />
Allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes before removing to cool in a wire rack. <br />

This bread is best served warm, right away! I can't tell you how many pieces I ate as it was cooling! It also makes great breakfasts and afternoon snacks! <br />

Running my first marathon was the most amazing and brutal experiences of my life! I loved it and hated it and cannot wait to do it again! <br />

A few weeks ago, my brother and I did the <a href="http://whatdoyourunfor.com/races/2017-nashville-half-marathon/" target="_blank">Nashville Half and Full Marathon</a> and it was incredible! I did the full 26.2 miles, and my brother did his first half marathon ( 13.1 miles). We both had a great time and learn some things along the way! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><u>Training</u></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm a long distance runner, so every run of mine is a long run. After I decided to do the full, I started lengthening my runs even more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Week Day Runs -</strong>Ranged between 12 and 14 miles with a few push-ups, planks and squats as well as stretching after each run. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Weekend Runs- </strong>I started at 18 miles and the weekend before the race I did 22 miles. I only stretched after these runs and really paid attention to my claves and hamstrings. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Rest Days- </strong>I had one rest day a week. On this day I lounged around and did no exercise whatsoever.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><u>Training After Thoughts</u></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Looking back, there are some things I wished I had done differently in my training. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1) Train More Hills </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) Do more longer run. Maybe add in a few more 20 and 22 milers before race day </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) Stretch More</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4) Run in better, more supportive shoes </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>

<strong><u>The Night Before</u></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The day before the race, I ran 13 miles and stretched really well. I also tried to drink a ton of water and carb up really well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My carb-up meal of choice was tacos, and that worked for me. Before my half marathon in the spring I used the classic pasta dish to carb up. Both worked well and are delicious! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before I went to bed, I laid out my running outfit, shoes, bib number, running watch, ear buds, and running belt. In my belt I had chap-stick, gum, and my I.D. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had a hard time sleeping that night, mostly because of nerves and excitement! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong><u>Race Day</u></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><u></u></strong> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I woke up early and got ready to go. It was a lovely 30 degrees F outside, so I wore a jacket over my running leggings, long sleeve t-shirt and running sweat shirt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had some coffee and a banana about 1.5 hours before the race. We made sure to get to the race early enough to use the bathrooms and get warmed up and stretched. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was nervous, excited and freezing!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The race started at 7 a.m. The half-ers and fullers started at the same time. There were pacers for both races. I feel in alongside my brother and the 2 hour half marathon pacer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our pace for the first 12 miles was between 8'30 and 8'45, which was really fast for me! I felt great! My brother and the rest of the halfers left around mile 12.7. After that, I was on my own. The race really thinned out after that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I managed to stay ahead of the 4 hour full marathon pacer up until mile 22. Then it really hit me. I hadn't taken any walk breaks up until then and my legs were done. I had officially hit the wall. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I pushed on till mile 23 and stopped at the first water station and walked for a few minutes. After that, I took walk breaks every mile until I was close to the finish line. I crossed the finish line running, smiling and dying inside. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My official time was 4:04:54, which was WAY faster than I had planned. I had planned on a 4:30 time or around there. I was very pleased. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I did not fuel or eat anything during the run, aside from a few sips of water and Gator-Ade. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My brother finished the half at 1:55:05 which is sub-2 hours and pretty amazing for his first race! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<strong><u>The After Math </u></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As soon as I stopped running, my legs turned to jelly. I was sore already! I realized around mile 16 or so that my shoes we no good, so my feet hurt like crazy. It was painful to even stand on them! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The medal for the marathon was HUGE and amazing! The finish line was crowded and they had a few refreshment options. Honestly though, I wasn't hungry. Just thirsty and tired! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I went home, showered, at tacos and went to bed. After an hour nap, I felt so much better! My feet weren't so sore, but my legs were! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I took the next day off as a rest day. I was even more sore then! The next day, it was a Monday, I did run again, but it was slow and kind of painful. I do think it aid in my fast recovery though. After three days I wasn't sore at all and back up to my usual running speed and mileage. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I am beyond happy that I decided to do this! Running a marathon is amazing, and I recommend it to anyone.....just train a bit before :)<br />
<br />
I want to do another marathon and/or half marathon hopefully in the spring. I have caught the race-bug and I can't wait to get another race under my belt! <br />

On chilly fall and winter nights, the best thing for dinner is a piping hot bowl of soup. This Green Chile and Potato soup is the perfect balance of flavors and is sure to warm you up, no matter how cold it is outside! <br />

A few nights ago, my family was having Green Chile ( a nonvegan version) and so I decided to make a vegan version to enjoy with them. I love how well this recipe turned out, and how simple it was to make. Not only is it bursting in flavor, but super healthy and nutritious as well! <br />

If you like spicy food, this is a recipe for you! And if not, then it is just as easy to tone down the spice to your level. I added fresh avocado to the top and it was just perfect! <br />

Potatoes are a great vegetable to add to any soup. They thicken the soup, add bulk, and are simply delicious! I added white potatoes in this case, but red, yellow or even sweet potatoes would be delicious! </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">These little treats are so easy to make its almost a crime. I started making these a while ago, and they have become a family favorite. Not only are they great for desserts and sweet snacks, but they make great breakfasts for the days you are feeling a little indulgent. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Ingredients:</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 can Crescent Rolls ( most brands don't contain dairy or eggs, but check just to be sure.) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Apple Pie Filling of Choice ( I made mine by simply chopping up apples and coating in lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon and flour and letting sit for a few minutes)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And that's it! That is all you need to make some delicious apple pie treats! </span><br />

I used my local grocery store's brand of crescent rolls, but I know several other brands do not contain dairy or eggs. Be sure to check to be sure. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pull off one triangle at a time. Place a spoonful of apple pie filling in the middle of the larger end of dough. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Roll the dough into a crescent-roll shape and place on a line baking sheet. Allow spacing between rolls as they will grow during baking process. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Remove from pan and enjoy right away or allow to cool before storing in an airtight container. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My family and I love to eat these treats with some vanilla ice cream ( coconut milk based brands are the best!) or just warm with a cup of coffee or tea! </span><br />

We carved our pumpkin this week, a few days before Halloween, and it was so much fun! My little brother ( 4.5 yrs) is in love with the holiday and everything related to it, so he had a blast. As we carved the pumpkin, I pulled out the seeds because I wanted to try and roast them and turn them into something delicious! <br />

This recipe is super easy and perfect for getting little ones involved. We used a large carving pumpkin, but I am sure any type of pumpkin will work! You might just need to adjust the recipe to fit the amount of seeds you get from your pumpkin. </div>

Heat the oven to 325 and roast the seeds for 30-45 minutes, or until golden brown and crunchy. You will want to stir the seeds every 10 minutes to roast them evenly. Allow them to cool before enjoying! </div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Puppy chow, or Muddy Buddies, is a favorite in my family. Anytime we make it, the whole batch is gone in a flash! So, when we hosted a fall-themed party, I knew I wanted to somehow make this delicious treat. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> But how do you make puppy chow into a fall-flavored dish? You add pumpkin spice of course! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I love how simple this recipe is, and that it can be made gluten free so easily. It also doesn't require an oven, and is super quick and easy to make! </span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 boxes Chex Cereal <em>(I used the flavored cinnamon and chocolate rice cereals, but any flavor/brand works great!)</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4 cups Dairy Free Chocolate Chips</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3/4 cups Smooth Peanut Butter</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">6-7 tbs Pumpkin Pie Spice (separated)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3-4 cups Powdered Sugar </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3-5 tbs Pumpkin Pie Spice </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Start by pouring the cereal into a large bowl. If you don't have a large enough bowl, you can split it into several bowls. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Next, add the chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and heat until melted...30secs at a time to prevent burning. *Or you can place the chips into a double boiler to melt on the stove top. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Once the chocolate chips have melted, add in the peanut butter and 4-5 tbs of the pumpkin pie spice. You may need to warm the peanut butter before adding it to make mixing easier. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Mix the chocolate/peanut butter mix well and then pour over cereal. Use a large spoon to coat cereal with the chocolate mix. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, add the remaining pumpkin pie spice and powdered sugar to the chocolate coated cereal. Add the sugar in 1 cup at a time until each cereal piece is coated. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Mix well. The sugar will dissolve into the chocolate a bit, so you may need to add more sugar after the mix as set for a few minutes. </span><br />

Ranch dressing is a delicious salad dressing, veggie dip, or one of the best things to drip pizza crust into. Just because you're a vegan, doesn't mean you have to miss out on it! Make it at home, completely vegan, and never miss ranch dressing again! <br />

Growing up, I loved ranch dressing. We would always dip our pizza crust into it, or use it as a salad dressing. Once I went vegan, I thought I would never have it again, but I was wrong! Making your own vegan ranch dressing at home is so easy and so delicious!!! <br />

<br />
<br />
While the cashews are soaking, add the rest of the ingredients to a blender. Start off with 1/2 cup of the cold water to begin with. You can always add more in later if you wish. <br />
<br />

<br />
When the cashews have soaked for at least 10 minutes, drain them, rinse with cold water and add into the blender. Blend on high speed until smooth. Adjust the texture with the water until you are satisfied. <br />

We've baked bread at home for as long as I can remember. That's probably why I love with smell of fresh baked bread so much! We make a variety of bread, but one of my favorites is Herb Bread! We love to eat it with pasta and dip it into soups! Its perfect for chilly fall and winter days! <br />

<br />
Baking bread often seems really hard to people who haven't tried it before. It isn't hard at all, you just have to have some patience! Its really just as simple as that! <br />
<br />
This bread is super soft and fluffy! I have added herbs to this bread, but you could add anything you wanted { Like sun dried tomatoes, olives, onions....}. It really is up to you! <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></strong><br />
<br />
2-3 cups All Purpose Flour <br />
2-3 cups Whole Wheat Flour <br />
3 tbs Dry Active Yeast <br />
4 tsb Sugar or other form of sweetener { I use maple syrup a lot }<br />
4 tbs Olive Oil+ a little extra <br />
Herbs of Choice<br />
Salt <br />
2 cups warm { body temp.} Almond Milk <br />
<br />
Start by warming your almond milk. You don't want it too hot, so be careful. You should be able to stick a finger in the milk and it be about the same temp. Add in the sugar and yeast and stir to combine. Leave this mixture alone for 5 minutes. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Pour the yeast mixture into a stand mixture and add in the olive oil. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKnIqZccIUkiX1XB6Tg7a0XlnB_jOaC2q3oAMZGkmtOVr-Yt_jUi7aq-UvVXgrAk9n8lhUgxxNiv4q09g8M28SjjxhZc1234p8JiGs7UQogBjKyrYl5_jqRmLAo0m3MJY1qDe8YIFxBe0/s1600/IMG_8806.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKnIqZccIUkiX1XB6Tg7a0XlnB_jOaC2q3oAMZGkmtOVr-Yt_jUi7aq-UvVXgrAk9n8lhUgxxNiv4q09g8M28SjjxhZc1234p8JiGs7UQogBjKyrYl5_jqRmLAo0m3MJY1qDe8YIFxBe0/s320/IMG_8806.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Mix to combined and then start adding in the flour. I alternate Whole Wheat and All Purpose flours. Mix a tsp or 2 of salt into one of your cups of flour. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO ADD THE SALT DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THE YEAST. THAT WOULD KILL THE YEAST AND YOUR BREAD WOULD BE FLAT. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Add flour and mix until the dough forms and the sides of the bowl are clean. This mixture also shouldn't be too sticky. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWrnplB6Z_emBiRTkJsGCzWfYHqe7BjAN5LQq3X-iMNhZlqwJgyJWKX-vbR29Lto9QGZX9-lQHGoYlcRkBxMqGFJHidt-pnLZ7wiMs0jtFS0jJZ1xkSiiu23zhBvgJ2ZQ0OkSeC2GW7jM/s1600/IMG_8808.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWrnplB6Z_emBiRTkJsGCzWfYHqe7BjAN5LQq3X-iMNhZlqwJgyJWKX-vbR29Lto9QGZX9-lQHGoYlcRkBxMqGFJHidt-pnLZ7wiMs0jtFS0jJZ1xkSiiu23zhBvgJ2ZQ0OkSeC2GW7jM/s320/IMG_8808.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Not it is time to knead. You can do it my hand, but I recommend a stand mixer. Knead the dough for 10-11 minutes. Then, remove the dough hook from the bowl and cover to allow for rising. <br />
<br />
Let the dough rise of at least 1 hour. It is hasn't at least doubled in size by then, give it more time until it dose. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWHuKHo2b0LpLEoiPlam3pPzkoH-PJvU19Mag0pcONRgbfCK6sgqRRhO-pjtYq09e8gCCyZ5DYTgZMlLeoECnprhxaVz0fX-S6V8fa33JKRPiBCrhtC3gj2i9kTRYLxx9NIWJDndSjfng/s1600/IMG_8816.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWHuKHo2b0LpLEoiPlam3pPzkoH-PJvU19Mag0pcONRgbfCK6sgqRRhO-pjtYq09e8gCCyZ5DYTgZMlLeoECnprhxaVz0fX-S6V8fa33JKRPiBCrhtC3gj2i9kTRYLxx9NIWJDndSjfng/s320/IMG_8816.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Preheat your oven to 170F or put it on the Keep Warm setting. Grease a baking sheet ( preferably a round one) and your hands and punch the dough down. <br />
Place the dough onto the greased baking sheet and keep working it into a desired shape. I went for a flat, round shape. You could also slit the dough and bake it in load pans, or make dinner rolls.<br />
<br />
If you choose the flat round shape, use your fingers to make indentions all over the top of the dough. Then use a pastry brush to brush on olive oil. Sprinkle salt and herbs over the oiled surface. The more the better! <br />
If you chose a loaf or dinner rolls, simply do everything but punching the holes. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Place the bread into the preheated oven and let it rise for 15-30 minutes. Then, turn the oven temp. up to 350F and bake for 28-35 minutes. Dinners rolls will bake for 15-20 minutes. You want the bread to be brown and hard to the touch and it should lift from the pan easily. <br />

Once it has baked, remove from the pan and allow to cool on a cooling rack. If you leave it in/on the pan too long the crust will become soggy and soft. </div>

Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving! We ate this bread right away with some pasta and salad and it was delicious! I couldn't stop eating it! <br />

The cake is super soft and pumpkin-y and it pairs so well with the sweet and slightly-tartness of the {vegan} cream cheese! The pumpkin pie spice rounds all the flavors together into a delicious, sweet treat! <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></strong><br />
<u>For the Cake:</u><br />
<br />
2 cups All Purpose Flour <br />
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour <br />
2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice <br />
1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda<br />
1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder<br />
1 tsp Salt <br />
1 1/2 cup White Sugar <br />
1 1/2 cup Almond Milk <br />
1 1/4 cup Pumpkin Puree <br />
1/3 cup Oil of Choice <br />
2 tsp Vanilla Extract <br />
2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar <br />
<br />
<u>For the Frosting:</u><br />
<u></u><br />
2-3 cups Powdered Sugar <br />
3/4 cup Vegetable Shortening<br />
1/4 cup Coconut Oil <br />
2-3 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar<br />
2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice <br />
1/2 tsp Vanilla <br />
1-2 tsp Almond Milk <br />
pinch of salt<br />
<br />
Start by whisking together the wet ingredients, all but the apple cider vinegar. Then add in the sugar and whisk for around 45 seconds. <br />
<br />

<br />
Next, add in the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Once everything is combined, whisk for 1 minute. <br />
<br />

<br />
Add in the apple cider vinegar and give the batter one final whisk to combine the vinegar. Then pour the batter into either: 1 9x13 pan or 2 round cake pans that are well greased. Bake at 350 F for 40-45 minutes, or until a tooth pic inserted in the center comes out clean. <br />

<br />
Your house will smell amazing!!!! You will want to just drink the air! Okay, now let's make the frosting! <br />
<br />
Start by add the vegetable shortening, salt and coconut oil to a bowl and whisking until combined and fluffy. <br />
Then add in the vanilla, apple cider vinegar pumpkin pie spice, and powdered sugar {little by little} and whisk to combine and the mixture is fluffy! Add in the almond milk bit by bit until the frosting is the desired texture. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1q9WfEc0aqtigrf_Y3bR6mzHxw16n-MbzdRqAcJJ1qFGRCQssZ8hBg70VMmAdDMCDU3v9GXgL0hsm1b6eNJ0M6VTwcv5wsc8BGldbvCf9WxO7ixh9bjPmKsyzkujiWEie-xtAImS2Ba8/s1600/IMG_8825.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1q9WfEc0aqtigrf_Y3bR6mzHxw16n-MbzdRqAcJJ1qFGRCQssZ8hBg70VMmAdDMCDU3v9GXgL0hsm1b6eNJ0M6VTwcv5wsc8BGldbvCf9WxO7ixh9bjPmKsyzkujiWEie-xtAImS2Ba8/s320/IMG_8825.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Once the cake is completely cooled, you can apply the frosting. I used a 9x13 pan and kept the cake in the pan and that made frosting so much easier! If you chose the 2 round pans, I suggest chilling your frosting for 15-20 minutes before frosting the cakes! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2xCAo7M-vzPO2ULKU1QW2ow7kDZYlVMiEQm4rPJhrk_myFnGCF7t3lAOlQRRUpQz3k97XwX5bDdgL-KUBNQFcQ7XZf8_Hv6n9vB2oUZMBcBsKa1H_mcIUSBJUhKBvCVEO3qE1a9bMh3w/s1600/IMG_8841.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2xCAo7M-vzPO2ULKU1QW2ow7kDZYlVMiEQm4rPJhrk_myFnGCF7t3lAOlQRRUpQz3k97XwX5bDdgL-KUBNQFcQ7XZf8_Hv6n9vB2oUZMBcBsKa1H_mcIUSBJUhKBvCVEO3qE1a9bMh3w/s320/IMG_8841.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Be careful not to eat all the frosting before it gets on the cake! I couldn't stop eating it! I cannot believe how close to real cream cheese the frosting tastes like! <br />
<br />

A vegan or plant based diet might seem unnecessary, difficult, or ( to some) even an <em>unhealthy </em>diet. I have been vegan for almost 2 years and I am here to tell you that it is far from that! Eating a vegan diet is healthy, delicious and super easy! <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">What is Veganism</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></strong>I want to start this post off with a definition, in my own words, of what veganism is. Veganism or eating a vegan diet is eating a diet free of all animal products- meat, eggs, dairy and ( almost always) honey. <br />
<br />
Some people choose to take veganism into more than just their diets. They prefer to wear only animal friendly clothing, don't use products tested on animals, and have animal-free furniture. <br />
<br />
For those who aren't quite ready to go to the full extreme of a vegan diet, or don't want to adopt all of the vegan diet guidelines, they might adapt a more plant-based diet. This usually is very similar to a vegan diet, with the exceptions of honey. Also, those who follow a plant based diet tend to be less choosy about their clothing, products and furniture being vegan friendly. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Okay, so I've been eating a vegan diet for almost 2 years now, and I can safely say I haven't regretted it at all! Sure, it was hard at first, but once I saw and felt the positive changes in my life, there was no going back for me! <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> <strong>Why I went Vegan</strong></span><br />
<br />
If you don't already know, I went vegan because I have a dairy allergy. After I went vegan and I wasn't eating any dairy, I felt so much better!<br />
I also saw a change in my energy levels, which made it so much easier to get up early for morning runs! <br />
Before I started a vegan diet, I was often bloated, but that went away after about a week on the vegan diet.<br />
I also used to have super frizzy and uncontrollable hair, and after I went vegan I notice a huge change in the look and feel of my hair!<br />
Another benefit I had from a vegan diet was the fact that I was forced to eat more fruits and vegetables, since that was a huge part of my diet after all! <br />
<br />
<br />
Now that you know why I went vegan and have continued with it, let me share with you my <strong>Top 5 Reasons to Go Vegan! </strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">#1</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Energy Levels Will be Through the Roof!</span> </strong><br />
Soaring energy levels are one of the first benefits you will feel after switching to a vegan diet. Because you are eating tons more fruits and vegetables, you are consuming a lot more nutrients, vitamins and minerals than on a standard American diet. All those extra nutrients are put to use in extra energy, making you feel energized all day long!<br />
Just make sure to eat enough, or you are going to feel tired from lack of calories, not nutrients! On a vegan diet, you have to eat quite a bit more to equal the amount of calories needed to maintain a healthy body, so eat up! <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">#2 Weight Loss is So Much Easier on a Vegan Diet</span> </strong><br />
Losing weight is the topic of so many discussions lately, and often its in disgust or frustration. On a vegan diet, losing weight can be so easy that you won't even notice it's happening! Because your diet will consists of mainly fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts, you will naturally feel fuller, even though you aren't eating near as many calories as you would on a ,eat-based diet. Things like fruit and vegetables take up a lot of space in your stomach, making you feel full without having to eat a ton of calories. This also means you get to eat more and still lose weight! Also, all those extra nutrients from a vegan diet boosts you body's over all health, making it that much easier to lose weight! <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">#3 Animal Products Have Been Linked to Diseases and Health Issues</span></strong><br />
<strong> </strong>Studies have linked things like dairy, red and white meat, and eggs to heart disease, cancers, and diabetes. Because these types of food contain such a high cholesterol and fat content, they are also detrimental to over all health of your body. Staying away from animal products only decreases you chances of a life-threating disease or health issue becoming a problem. It will also keep you healthier in your day to day life. Eating a vegan diet can boost your immune system, making it harder for you to get sick! <br />
Just make sure to stick to the healthier side of a vegan diet and eat less of the processed vegan foods like fake meats and cheeses. These foods are delicious and okay for everyone now and then, but for an over all healthy body, stick to more unprocessed, whole vegan foods! <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">#4 See Clearer Skin on a Vegan Diet!</span> </strong><br />
<strong> </strong>As I mentioned before, animal products contain a lot of fat. One thing all this fat does is create oily and acne-prone skin. If you suffer from severe acne, then a vegan diet might just be the thing you need to have clear skin! Removing all that excess fat from your diet will result in less oily, smoother and healthier, glowing skin! <br />
Again, these benefits are easiest to receive if you stick with a more whole foods approach to a vegan diet. Processed foods in general aren't that great for clear, healthy skin! Also, drinking lots of water helps the body to flush out any toxins that might be causing the acne and skin problems! <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">#5 A Vegan Diet is Super Cheap!</span> </strong><br />
Eating a vegan diet isn't just great for your health. Its wonderful on the pocket book too! Meat, dairy and eggs are quite expensive in comparison to whole grains, vegetables and fruits. Eating a diet full of things like beans, grains, vegetables and fruits is going to be a lot cheaper than a diet full of animal products. <br />
As long as you stick to mainly the cheaper, whole foods, then a vegan diet is going to be far cheaper and easier than a meat based diet. Processed vegan foods are delicious, but they can be expensive! <br />
<br />

<br />
Okay, so there you have it. My top 5 reasons to go vegan! Not everyone will experience the same or all of these benefits, but I think we can agree that even just one of these benefits would be amazing! Hopefully this post has encouraged you to look closer into a vegan or plant based diet, or at least try to eat more fruits an vegetables and less meat, dairy and eggs! <br />
<br />
Please share this post with your friends and family to spread the love of a healthy lifestyle and help everyone experience the benefits of eating a healthy diet! <br />

The past few weeks, I have been obsessed with coconut chai lattes! The flavors just scream 'fall' to me! So, I decided to put the flavors I love from Chai tea into some delicious muffins! <br />

Fall is really just days away and it is already starting to cool off and actually feel like it here! I love this time of year and all the delicious flavors it brings! Chai tea is a blend of spices that is both warm and spicy at the same time. It really is a delicious flavor bomb! <br />

I made these chai muffins after I had a almond milk coconut latte on a chilly rainy day. I love chai teas and I wondered if I could turn it into a muffin. Turns out, I can! I even added a secret ingredient to make it a bit 'dirty' and extra delicious! <br />
<br />
<br />
<u><span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></u><br />
<u><span style="font-size: large;"></span></u><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 cup Coconut Milk</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 cup Warm Water</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/3 cup Oil</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 tsp Vanilla </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 tsp Instant Espresso Powder</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 cup Sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 cups Whole Wheat Flour</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 tsp Ground Ginger</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 tsp Cardamom</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tsp Allspice</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/3 tsp Ground Clove</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/3 tsp Nutmeg </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 tsp Baking Powder</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tsp Baking Soda</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pinch of Salt </span><br />
<u><span style="font-size: large;"></span></u><br />
<u><span style="font-size: large;"></span></u><br />
<u><span style="font-size: large;"></span></u><br />
Start by whisking together the warm water and espresso powder until it is fully dissolved. Then add in the rest of the wet ingredients, including the sugar. Do not add the vinegar. <br />

Then add in the dry ingredients ( flour, spices, baking powder, baking soda and salt) and whisk to combine. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a muffin tin, or a whoopee pie pan ( I used a leaf and pumpkin shaped one!). Fill each tin about 1/2-3/4 of the way full. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges start to brown and a tooth pick come out clean from the center! Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes in the pan before removing and allowing to cool on a wire wrack! <br />

They turned out so well! I love how the spices blend together and the little kick from the espresso powder really makes these a delicious treat! I can't wait to brew some chai tea and settle down with a chai muffin and a good book! <br />

I really hope you try this recipe out to see how delicious they are for yourself! I am already wanting to make another batch because the first one was gone sooooo fast! They are the perfect thing to throw into a school lunch, take to work or just enjoy at home! <br />

Mug cakes are great for those late night cravings , or when you want a sweet treat but not the whole cake! Finding a good recipe can be tricky though. A lot of them can have an eggy taste..but not this one! There are no eggs in sight of this mug cake..and guess what? Its delicious! <br />

I make mug cakes quite often, especially when my family is enjoying a dessert that isn't vegan. I just make my own small, single serve dessert and I am good to go! Mug cakes are great for snacks, desserts, or even breakfast! This recipe is based off a coffee cake and has hints of cinnamon that pairs so well with things like coconut ice cream for dessert or blueberries for breakfast! <br />

Okay! Now its time for the microwave. Here is the time when you could add in nuts, raisins, blueberries or even some dairy free chocolate chips if you want to! Wipe down the sides of the bowl or mug and microwave for 2-3 minutes, starting with 1.5 minutes and going up my 30 secs until the cake is firm and has stated pulling away from the sides. <br />

Let the cake rest and cool down for a good 5 minutes before enjoying! I ate mine with some coconut vanilla ice cream and it was delicious! It tasted like fall! I also think it would be delicious with blueberries and it would be like a blueberry muffin! <br />

Boston is a great city, full of amazing food, history, and so much more! Traveling as a vegan and with smaller children, it really makes you think about the places you eat and the things you do, to make sure they are a good fit for everyone in your group! Keep reading to learn what I ate and what we did as a vegan and family with young kids! <br />

You might have read my previous post on What to Do and Eat in Maine. On that same trip, we spent some time in Boston. We ate a lot of great food and did a lot of the more historical things in Boston, and we all loved it! <br />
<br />
Traveling as a vegan can seem difficult and frustrating, but it doesn't have to be. Do your research ahead of time and figure out where the vegan restaurants are, what you can eat at non-vegan restaurants and where the closest grocery store is to your location. Knowing these things will make it so much easier and enjoyable for both you and the people you are traveling with! Also, its not a bad idea to bring snacks with you. I always like to have a bar, dried fruit or nuts in my bag at all time, especially when I am traveling! <br />
<br />
<br />

When we travel, we like to use <a href="https://www.yelp.com/nashville" target="_blank">Yelp</a> as a way to find places to eat that will suit everyone's needs and wants. You can even type in 'vegan' and it will pull up vegan restaurants and places with vegan options! <br />

The first place we ate was <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/souper-roll-up-cafe-cambridge" target="_blank">Souper Roll Up Cafe </a>right after we landed in Boston. It had several selections of sandwiches, wraps, soups and salads. I ordered the hummus wrap with no cheese and it was delicious! For our little guy ( he's 4 yrs )we ordered a grilled cheese and he loved it! <br />

That night we met a friend at <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/za-cambridge" target="_blank">Za</a> for pizza and it was pretty delicious. I ordered a veggie pizza with no cheese and the waiter asked if I was a vegan or had a dairy allergy so they could make sure there was no contamination. I was very thankful for that because often they will use a cheesy-pizza cutter to slice my pizza and leave cheese behind! The whole family enjoyed the pizza and we left with very full bellies! <br />

For lunch the next day we went to <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/bencotto-boston" target="_blank">Bencotto</a> . There were not a lot of vegan options, but I made do! I wasn't super hungry, so I ordered the bruschetta, which was delicious and light, just what I was wanting! They serve delicious homemade bread as well! Again, this was another place the whole family enjoyed! </div>

Next, we headed to Boston Market where we stopped at <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/taza-chocolate-bar-boston-2" target="_blank">Taza</a> for the best hot cocoa I've every had!!! They have a few different flavors and the option to make it with water, milk or almond milk. I ordered the orange flavor made with almond milk and my mind was blown!!! My little brother enjoyed the original with added whipped cream! They whole family was in love! <br />

<br />
Also at the Boston Market was an allergy-free bakery called <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/jennifer-lees-gourmet-bakery-boston" target="_blank">Jennifer Lee's Gourmet Bakery.</a> They are gluten, nut, dairy and egg free, meaning everything they make is vegan! I was so excited to find this place! They have lots of menu items, but I chose the Fruity Pebbles Donut and the Death By Chocolate Donut. Both we delicious and I wish I could have tried everything!! <br />

<br />
Another place we ate as was <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/olitoki-boston" target="_blank">OliToki</a> , which to me was like an Asian version of Chipotle. I ordered the bowl with the crispy tofu and it was delicious! A little on the spicy side, was still enjoyable! For the little guy we ordered a plain cheese quesadilla and he was super happy with it! It is a small place and you have to buy canned drinks, but other than that it was a 10/10 for us! <br />

Everything on the menu is vegan and plant-based as well as gluten-free options available on request. I ordered the GuacBurger , the Mac n' Cheese and the Raspberry Tiramisu Cupcake. Everything was amazing, my favorite being the mac n' cheese which was so creamy and delicious! If you follow the blog on Instagram, you will know how obsessed I was with all the food at by Chloe. </div>

We went and parked near Harvard and walked around the campus and nearby shops. We went into the <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/harvard-book-store-cambridge" target="_blank">Harvard Book Store</a> and browsed their used-book section downstairs for a while. We all really enjoyed that! </div>

Recently, I made a trip to Maine with my family. We absolutely loved it! The weather was amazing, the sights unreal and the trip as a whole was super fun and relaxing! But, you may wonder what a vegan finds to eat in a seafood dominated state! Well, it actually wasn't as hard as you might think! <br />

Okay, so Maine is known for a few things- the weather, lighthouses and seafood. I enjoyed two of those three and had no problem replacing seafood with delicious, vegan friendly food! Surprisingly, most places we went had a vegetarian, easily made vegan, option on their menu! <br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">What to Eat in Maine</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> We stayed close to the coast, which was lovely! Most of the places we ate we found on <a href="https://www.yelp.com/nashville" target="_blank">Yelp</a> , which made it super easy to choose a place we all would like! </span><br />
<br />
One of the first places we ate was a pizza place called <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/camden-house-of-pizza-camden-2?osq=pizza" target="_blank">Camden House of Pizza</a> . I asked for a veggie pizza with no cheese and they had no problem making it for me! It was quite delicious too! <br />

<br />
<br />
After we ate pizza, we walked down to an ice cream shop called <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/river-ducks-ice-cream-camden" target="_blank">River Ducks Ice Cream</a> . They had several flavors of dairy free sorbets and I chose the raspberry flavor! It was refreshing and yummy! <br />

One thing I fell in love with in Maine was blueberry lemonade! You could find it almost everywhere and I had it quite a bit! <br />

We made a trip down to Bar Harbur for the day and ended up eating supper there at a place called <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/59-cottage-bar-harbor" target="_blank">59 Cottage</a> . I ordered the veggie wrap without the cheese and mayo as well as the sweet potato fries! It was a delicious and fairly heathy meal! <br />

On one of the chillier days, we decicded we wanted some coffee, so we searched out a near by coffee house. We found <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/green-tree-coffee-and-tea-lincolnville?osq=coffee" target="_blank">Green Tree Coffee & Tea</a> . They roast their own coffee in house, so it smelled amazing! I ordered a mocha made with almond milk and it was the perfect drink for a chilly afternoon! <br />

We also bought groceries and had several meals where we were staying, which cut down on cost and just made things easier for everyone to eat something they liked. Just as a side note, eating out in Maine, especially for a large family, can be quite pricy! <br />

<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">What to Do in Maine </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Like I said before, Maine is known for its lighthouses! We went to several, my favorite being the <strong>Owl's Head Light House</strong> and the <strong>Breakwater Light House</strong>. Both of which are super easy to find and to take little kids! Also, the views are beautiful! </span><br />

The <strong>Breakwater Lighthouse</strong> is at the end of a .70 mile pier. Be careful when walking down the pier because its uneven and some of the stones are wobbly! <br />

<strong>The Owl's Head Lighthouse</strong> is super easy to get to with just a short walk up to it. Somedays it is open to go into the lighthouse, but on the day we went it wasn't open. There is also a small museum and gift shop near the light house. <br />

<strong>Camden Maine</strong> was a small town close to where we were staying, so we spent some time there. My whole family really enjoyed the small-town feel and walking downtown. Camden has several restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, bookstores and retail stores. We went at dusk and the view off the harbor was amazing!</div>

Out of the <strong>Camden Bay</strong> you can take schooner boat rides, which we did one afternoon. We rode the Lazy Jack II and really enjoyed it! There are several companies and boats to choose from and a few of them even offer day trips. <br />

<strong>Mt. Battie</strong> is near downtown Camden and is an excellent place to go and hike around. You can park at the bottom and hike to the top or you can drive straight to the top to see the view! We really enjoyed it! <br />

We look a hike up <strong>Maiden's Cliff </strong>with some friends and it was so fun! The view was breath taking , even if we got rained on as soon as we made it back to our car! Its a pretty steep and rocky hike, but my 4.5 year old brother did just fine! <br />

Unfortunately it was a super foggy day and we weren't able to see much of the view, but the park still looked amazing! At the base of the mountain is <strong>Sand Beach </strong>which is one of the few natural sand beaches in Maine. We really enjoyed the trip even if it was a foggy <br />
day! <br />

Over all we had an amazing trip to Maine and can't wait to go back! I would say that taking a trip to Maine in the summer time is the perfect way to escape the heat and get some really R&R in before school starts again! </div>

French Toast is a delicious breakfast food that a lot of people assume vegans can't have. This is due to the fact that most French toast recipes call for eggs and milk...but not this one! This is the Easiest Vegan French Toast Recipe Ever! <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Breakfast is probably one of my favorite meals, especially on the weekends when I have a bit more time to make a fancy breakfast! Mostly I make vegan pancakes, oatmeal or a smoothie bowl, but this time I decided to try making something I hadn't had in a long time....French Toast! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So, as you probably know, most French toast recipes call for things like eggs, butter, milk or heavy cream. This recipes doesn't. Its vegan, egg free and dairy free..... yet still amazingly delicious! You won't believe it when you read how simple this recipe is! <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">4-6 slices of Bread ( day old bread is best)</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 2: </strong>Add a small spoonful of coconut oil to a pan and bring it up to medium/high heat. <br />
<strong>Step 3: </strong>Soak a slice of bread in the liquid mix, both sides, for 30 seconds before placing it in the hot pan. <br />

<strong>Step 4: </strong>Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until bread has browned and is no longer wet. <br />

Have no fear, just because you are vegan, doesn't mean you have to give up treats like rice krispies bars! Just change out a few ingredients and you have yourself a delicious, vegan, rice krispie treat! <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
As a young kid, I always like rice krispie bars and even the process of making them. They were easy and cheap to make and everyone always loved them! <br />
Now that I am vegan, I still want to have rice krispie treats, just without the animal products. I thought this would be almost impossible...but I was wrong! <br />
<br />

<br />
These rice krispie treats are not only delicious, but I believe they are a step or two up from the originals....they are peanut butter flavored with the delicious add-in of mini Oreos! What more is there to want? <br />

I really love the fact that these bars are made with peanut butter and maple syrup because it cuts down on the processed sugar by a lot and the added protein helps to balance blood sugar levels so you don't have the sugar high-sugar crash problem! <br />

I really hope you try this recipe out! I think it will make great snack bars, school lunch or work snacks, and ( or course) really easy desserts or sweet treats! I want to try adding things like dairy-free chocolate chips, coconut, Nutter Butters( yes, they are vegan) or maybe even using a vegan chocolate nut spread in place of the peanut butter! <br />
Please try this recipe and see why I love it so much! I just know it will become a go-to recipe in your house! <br />

Everyone loves a good peanut butter cookie, right? Well, these have been taken to the next level by adding jam and making PB+J cookies! Vegan, delicious and super easy to make! <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I really like peanut butter cookies, and they are one of the easiest cookies to make vegan! Usually I make plan peanut butter cookies, but this time I decided to try something a little different! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I made chewy peanut butter cookies and spread raspberry jam over the tops before baking! What resulted can only be described as deliciously amazing goodness....at least in my opinion! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">These cookies turned out so well! I was my first try at making chewy peanut butter cookies, and I think I did a pretty good job! The jam just adds a burst of sweetness and tartness, just like a PB+J sandwich!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I really hope you try out this recipe and that you love it just as much as I do! I really can't wait to make these again and maybe try out a different flavor of jam! </span><br />

I love blueberries! I am always so excited when they come in season! I love to eat them by themselves, but I also love to bake with them! Putting them in muffins just seems like a no-brainer to me! <br />

When I first went vegan, baking was a struggle for me. I loved to bake so much, and learning to make delicious baked goodies, vegan, took some time, but I like to think I'm pretty good at it now! I always makes me so happy when I take a non-vegan recipe ( like these muffins original recipe) and turn it into a vegan recipe, without loosing flavor or texture! <br />

Next time I make these muffins, I am think about making a double batch and freezing half of them for when we are in a pinch and need a quick breakfast! I think they will freeze and thaw well and it will make for easy breakfasts! <br />
