This is the perfect treat for expressing your love and appreciation for someone; it’s chocolate, it’s impressive, and it’s delicious.

Baked Oatmeal
Breakfast is supposedly the most important meal of the day, but it usually gets the least amount of thought and time. I almost never have a cooked breakfast on a week day morning – it’s always a rushed bowl of cereal right before I run out the door for work. And yet, I wish I…
Vegan Omelet
There’s nothing like a slow weekend morning. I really enjoy waking up leisurely and spending the first part of my morning making coffee and a nutritious and special breakfast for hubby and me.

Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
This recipe is adapted from It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken. I tried it, fell in love, and decided that I needed to share it. It’s quick enough for a weekday morning and a great way to use up the pesky leftovers from a full can of pumpkin puree! And, it’s a great heart-healthy breakfast with…
Vegetable Quiche
Breakfast and brunch can be tricky to a new vegan. Besides select cereals and toast, there doesn’t seem like a lot of vegan options at first glance. Especially if you go out to a non-vegan restaurant, it might feel like you can only get the half of grapefruit and a plain toasted bagel (I’ve done…
Fruit and Nut Granola
Some things in life are both good for you, and a little bit of a treat. Granola is one of those things. Granola has really great ingredients, like nuts and oats that are high in protein, and dried fruit for a natural sweetness that is guilt-free. It also happens to be smothered in maple syrup…
