Ridiculously Delicious Vegan Cinnamon Rolls
This recipe is perfect for that yummy, sweet, super bad but deliciously amazing treat. The kids and I made these for our study of the Duchess Bakes a Cake and I see this being the kind of recipe we could enjoy on special occasions for years to come. The recipe comes from a book called The Vegan Diner by Julie Hasson. Ingredients: Dough 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast 1 tsp granulated sugar (I reduced this to half a tsp) 1/4 hot water 1/4 cup agave nectar 1/4 cup canola oil 1/4 orange juice 1/2 cup water, room temp. 1 TBS orange zest 3 3/4 to 4 cups unbleached,…
Simply Delicious Black Bean & Brown Rice Salad
This is such an easy Vegan, Plant-based recipe to throw together. Works great for an easy lunch, a snack, or to bring along to a pot-luck.

Questioning Food and dropping SUGAR… eeek!
I’m on a bit of a kick right now when it comes to habits. I’ve been really challenged from within to make some big changes and what better place to share than here? 🙂 So… food. I love food. I love all kinds of food. I have especially been drawn to food that isn’t at all good for me. Sugary, fatty, salty – you name it. For years, I ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I was very (VERY) addicted to sugar and I would think nothing of eating two bowls of ice cream and a chocolate bar for a ‘bedtime’ snack. Honestly. This wasn’t THAT long ago but…
