* fall bucket list*

apple picking with the doggies 






















 It was a lot of fun to take the doggies, they enjoyed the long walk and the apple sniffing :) 

Sky Top was great and crazy busy. It was a fun experience but I think next time we would like to go somewhere not as popular. 

What's on your fall bucket list? What would you make with your freshly picked apples? I'll try to make something very yummy and healthy for you very soon. 
Have a wonderful day!

Be yourself, be happy, be creative,

* gf/vegan brownies *



























Good morning Everybody!

I finally made the black bean brownies, and they are WONDERFUL! 

I was pretty skeptical about using black beans instead of flour, but when I bit into 
the brownie while it was still hot..... Oh my goodness! 




























You have to try them! I promise you cannot taste the beans at all and they are 
just so fudgey, not dry at all.

If you still have a few left the next day, just heat them up and enjoy your 
awesome black bean brownies! 







Let me know if you try them! Here is the recipe that I used! 

Have a lovely week! 

Be yourself, be happy, be creative,

* breakfast doughnuts *


























Good morning Lovelies! 

I have an amazing breakfast recipe for you today! 

I have the Oh She Glows Cookbook by Angela Liddon, and I am loving it so much! 
She has amazing plant-based recipes for each meal( I've tried several) and the 
wonderful pictures will make
 you want to look through this cookbook every day! :) 

So this past weekend I tried the " out-the-door chia power doughnuts". 
Needless to say they are super delicious, packed with fiber, antioxidants, protein 
and omega-3 fatty acids. 

Let me tell you ..even my husband loved them !! :) 


























Oh She Glows "out-the-door chia power doughnuts 


3/4 cup gluten-free oat flour 

1/2 cup chia seeds

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/3 cup pure maple syrup or other liquid sweetener

1/3 cup non-dairy milk ( I used coconut milk )

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

coconut oil 


Don't worry if you don't have oat flour you can easily make your own! Just put 
your oats in a food processor and blend them until you get powder-like consistency. 
I cup rolled oats will make 
approximately 1 cup oat flour.

1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Lightly grease your doughnut pan with coconut oil. 

2. Combine your dry ingredients in a large bowl. 

3. Add your liquids and stir until combined. The batter will be very runny!

4. Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity to the top. 

5. Bake the doughnuts for 22 to 26 minutes, until firm to the touch. Use your trusty 
toothpick to make sure they are ready.

6. Cool the doughnuts for 10 minutes, and then carefully invert the pan onto a cooling rack. 

You can serve it with some jam or nut butter, but they are just as delicious by their own.


Enjoy your lovely doughnuts! 



















































Have a great weekend !

Be yourself, be happy, be creative,
