Yesterday I stopped by Salt Lake City’s KSL Channel 5 to do a little segment on their morning show. We’ve been on Studio 5 several times now and it’s always a blast! This time I whipped up one of our favorites: Kate’s Peanut Butter Cup Popcorn. You can watch the segment by clicking here! That’s darling host Brooke Walker, Instagramming a photo of our popcorn!

4.73 25 Published Jul 03, 2021, Updated Jul 02, 2023 I got the inspiration for this drink from a local Richmond spot, Kabana Rooftop. One sip and I wanted nothing but frosé for the rest of the summer (I’m on team #froséallday). I just knew I had to recreate the recipe for the blog! Frosé Made Healthy I’ll be the first to admit that I LOOVE frozen drinks, but I rarely order them because they’re usually made with mixes, filled with sugar and who knows what else....

This authentic falooda recipe (with ice cream) is made from scratch using a homemade falooda syrup! What is falooda? Falooda is one of a kind! Also known as (and spelled) Faluda, and Faloodeh or Faludeh, falooda is a uniquely delicious and decadent drink that is very popular in South Asian cuisine. It’s a rose and vanilla flavored milkshake that is rich, sweet, and quite the treat! I grew up enjoying this drink from Bombay Sweet shops in Sri Lanka....

This is one of those recipes that took me quite a few tries to get it just right. Even once I did, I tested again to make absolutely sure! Yep, this is the best pumpkin bread ever. And better yet, it’s vegan! No one would ever guess this pumpkin bread is vegan. It’s so moist, fluffy, sweet and perfectly spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. The bread slices beautifully once cooled, and it tastes better than the popular Starbucks pumpkin bread....

1. Choose the Right Lentils Different lentils offer varied flavors and nutritional profiles. For instance: Toor Dal (Pigeon Pea): Rich in protein and folic acid. Moong Dal (Green Gram): Low in calories and high in dietary fiber. Masoor Dal (Red Lentil): Packed with iron and antioxidants. Special Tip: Always soak your lentils for a few hours before cooking. It not only reduces cooking time but also helps in better digestion....

Ingredients Needed Boxed cake mix – Yellow or white. Instant vanilla pudding Sour cream – full fat or reduced fat, but not fat free.

Vegan Banana Cream Pie is easier to make than you might think, and it’s the kind of dessert that even banana haters will come to love. There are 4 main components: the crust, the custard filling, plenty of fresh sliced bananas, and loads of fluffy whipped topping. Vegan custard is not too difficult to make. I used a can of full fat coconut milk, cornstarch, sugar, vanilla and a touch of coconut oil to help it set....

Does anything sound better than a steaming hot mug of luscious Vegan Hot Chocolate when the cold weather hits? I don’t think so! Making hot chocolate from scratch is easy. Real chocolate, cocoa powder, sugar, and milk are heated together on the stove, flavored with vanilla and a pinch of salt, then poured into mugs. The hardest part is choosing between coconut whipped cream or aquafaba whipped cream for the topping!...

Peanut butter blossoms are such a classic holiday cookie that have been around a long time. They are super cute, plus is there any combination better than chocolate and peanut butter? Making them vegan is a bit of a challenge because they are typically topped with a Hershey’s chocolate kiss, which you really can’t find a vegan version of (yet). Hopefully someone will make a dairy free kiss soon, but until then, we have to improvise!...

Lasagna is such a classic comfort food, and for good reason. It’s also somewhat of a pain to make at home though, which is why I tend to go with my easy healthy one-pot lasagna. (Or fine, I’ll admit, I totally buy the frozen ones at the store sometimes. It’s what I grew up with!) Lasagna can also be pretty heavy and around this time of year when we’re trying to start fresh, that’s not necessarily a selling point....
