Make Oat Groats in your Crock-pot
My family and I have a smoothie every morning for breakfast. After our smoothie, my kids eat a bowl or two of oatmeal to finish filling them up. Just recently I discovered oat groats, and we will never go back! Oat groats are essentially the oat kernel that has been removed from the inedible hard […]

Vegan Blueberry Zucchini Bread
Cooking with a baby is a talent. Stir together… wait, what did I just add? Ooop. Baby is ripping off dog’s ears. And now I’ll add the flour. No, I just added flour. Time to feed baby! Yes, it takes a little longer and there are more distractions but it just makes me feel super […]

Southern-Lovin’ Plant-based Biscuits and Gravy
Mmm. Biscuits and gravy. This is a classic comfort food that I have loved since a kid. Every time we went to visit my Grandma in North Carolina, I would ask her to make me some of her amazing biscuits and gravy. Unfortunately, a normal biscuits and gravy recipe is chock full of unhealthy things […]

Things have been crazy and fun lately. We’re trying to sell our house right now, so between adjusting to having 2 kids and trying to keep the house super clean for showings, it’s been busy.

Vegan Buttermilk Wheat Bran Pancakes
We have a Sunday tradition of having a pancake breakfast. My family and I look forward to this every single week!
