Recipe Round Ups

A collection of easy vegan and gluten-free spring breakfast, brunch, and dessert recipes that’s sure to impress all of the mother figures in your life!

Hi, friends!

Today my Saturday project was potting a set of four red begonias that my community was gifting to all residents. 

I decided to put them on the front steps in two pots, two plants per pot, one pot on either side of the cement steps. 

To be honest, these are the first flowers that I’ve ever potted myself.

So I felt pretty adult dawning gardening gloves and packing potting soil around flimsy scarlet petals.

And flowers made me think of mom, because on Mother’s Day usually flowers are my thing.

(I may or may not have called my parents for potting advice, because parental input > Google.)

Even before the pandemic, I liked to send my my mom a bright bouquet of flowers to say, hey, I’m thinking of you. 

This year, I thought I’d be creative and group together a list of themed recipes that would be delicious to enjoy with mom or in her honor!

In this Mother’s Day Recipe Round Up, you’ll find easy spring breakfast, brunch, and dessert recipes that are sure to impress all of the mother figures in your life.

A collection of naturally green favorites from the blog, packed with matcha, avocado, and greens, to keep you from getting pinched on Saint Patrick’s Day!

When I worked in an office I was *always* counting down the days until the next commercial holiday.

Something about celebrating them always made me feel closer to my colleagues and the world behind my dual monitors and stark white walls.

I put extra thought into my work attire, carefully selecting the emerald green skirt to be on theme. 

In quarantine, I’ve been leaning on holidays, too, to give me something to look forward to through the tough times. 

Birthdays, holidays, half-birthdays, food holidays– give me a good reason and I’ll celebrate it.

Well, it’s almost Saint Patrick’s Day! 

This year, let’s eat something good and green, shall we?

In this Saint Patrick’s Day Recipe Round Up I share some of my favorite naturally green recipes from the blog. 

They’re sure to give you food inspiration in a pinch and save you from (literally) getting pinched this Saint Patrick’s Day!

Recipes that are easy to love and share with the ones you love; including date-night-in dinners, truffles, vegan cheesecakes, candies, and pink treats!

Last week, I talked to my friend about Valentine’s Day.

She’s kind of a hater, to put it bluntly.

While I usually jump on board with any reason to celebrate (especially during COVID!), I kind of get what she’s saying. 

Why put so much commercial and societal pressure on *one* small day to celebrate all of the love in our lives? 

It’s true, I think we should be expressing and acknowledging our love, and self-love, all year round.

Although, sometimes it’s the novelty of having a day set aside, one specifically to be grateful for all the love we’re fortunate enough to give and receive. 

So, if you want to make some sweets and treats this February 14th, I won’t stop you. 

In fact, I’ll make it super easy for you, with this recipe round up.

If you’re like me, you’re probably staying in this year to do the whole V-day thing, yeah? 

Sure, we might make a fancier dinner, we might open a good bottle of red, and we *might* make a cute dessert to share. 

In this Vegan Valentine’s Day Recipe Round Up, you’ll find a list of date-night-in dinners, truffles, vegan cheesecakes, candies, and plenty of pink and red sweets.

But, while you’re chowing down, remember that any evening has the potential to be romantic, and any day of the week is the right time to tell someone how much you care.

Finally, remember that sometimes the coziest, coveted memories are those spent in the company of friends, pets, or, yourself. …
