In Honor of National Ice Cream Month…
…in general, it is TREMENDOUSLY challenging for me to select one favorite dessert. Coffee cake any day. Mango sticky rice until I die. A whole plate of chocolate chip cookies will win me over more quickly than a diamond ring. Peanut butter chickpea blondies….OOF. Having said that, ice cream holds an incredibly special place in…

Sugar Cookie Granola (vegan and gluten free)
A baking endeavor I was willing to experiment with popped up in my mind while I was sleeping a few nights ago. Kid you not, I gasped and nearly jumped out of my bed. It was challenging for me to figure out what to do with the Lakanto sugar cookie mix because it was not…

Cauliflower Rice Sushi (healthy, vegan, and gluten free)
Put me on “My Strange Addiction” because I am officially obsessed with cauliflower rice sushi.

Sushi tends to be quite expensive and often quite modest…
