Morning Glory Muffins
I love experimenting in the kitchen, especially with baking. This is my take on a healthier version of the classic morning glory muffin. While most bakeries offer these muffins—and they seem healthy thanks to the carrots—they’re often loaded with refined sugar and processed ingredients. Adding a vegetable doesn’t automatically make a pastry nutritious! So, I reimagined the recipe to be refined sugar-free and optionally gluten-free. I even snuck in an extra veggie: zucchini! Give my version a try and let me know what you think.
Summer Cherry Tomato Salad with Vegan Feta Cheese
A simple, seasonal recipe inspired by a classic Caprese salad—using sun-ripened cherry tomatoes, garden-fresh basil, and vegan feta. It's a fresh, customizable summer dish perfect for showcasing peak-season produce and creative twists on tradition.
Superfood Chocolate Bark
Superfood bark? Healthy right? WELL, yes in moderation! Still contains sugar, but all natural sugars. I use Hu chocolate baking gems as my bark base, which is only sweetened with raw coconut sugar! The best part of making your own bark is you can add any toppings you want. I chose chia seeds, goji berries, flaky salt, and pistachios!
Vegan Pancakes 🥞 with Berry Compote
I am always trying to find new breakfast items to add to my personal cookbook. I wanted to create a recipe for vegan pancakes that was easy to double, triple, or even quadruple. I’ve made this recipe very simple for any home chef to follow. The recipe as written will serve about 3 people. You can triple it for a family of 5. I had leftover berries from the farmer market and decide to create a sweet but tart berry compote to top off my pancakes.
Sam Sam’s Sourdough Recipe
I learned this delicious sourdough recipe form one of my best friend Sammi. The best part about this bread, it’s a NO-KNEAD sourdough! It is the perfect recipe for beginners! I love making bread, but am always coming up with an excuse not too! This recipe has showed me just how simple bread making can be. All it takes is keeping a starter alive, 30 minutes before bread to make your dough, and 45 minutes in the morning to bake your bread! You can customize each loaf by adding new fun toppings to the bread or even folding in things like olives or roasted garlic. Original recipe courtesy is from Feasting at Home! Here is a link for making your sourdough starter from Feasting at home, which you will need to do the day before making your bread.
