vegan and gluten free food
If you haven’t had kale chips yet you are missing out big time. These crunchy little snacks taste like junk food (well, maybe not quite JUNK food…we are talking about kale, after all) and are packed with nutrition. We could all use more greens in our diet and this is a great way to get them.
My perfect dessert involves chocolate and peanut butter and is something I can make quickly with items I likely already have in my pantry. These bars are just that.

I always put them in my pack for camping and backpacking trips.

Finally! Vegan Gluten Free coffee cake! As much as I love green smoothies and oatmeal for breakfast, sometimes I just need a treat. A hot cup of coffee or tea with a slice of warm coffee cake on a weekend morning really is one of the best things ever.
