Fall is here. Which means one thing. No not pumpkin spice lattes (even though those are delicious)...

SMORE'S!

Yes, yes, and yes

I don't know about you, but I LOVED campfires, hayrides, and chilly fall nights when I was younger, still love them now! And yes, if you were wondering, SoCal does get crisp fall weather still! Just not until winter time for everyone else :)

So what better way to celebrate the season, but with a smore's...milkshake...with Shakeology that is (if you don't know what that is, check THIS out, and if you're interested feel free to shoot me an email!)

I'm telling you, this shake is life changing-ly delicious. Is that a word? Well I just made it one.

Savory Basil Butternut Squash Soup :D

I've never been a huge soup person.

Particularly because growing up, I liked to each actual meals and I always ate SO  much food and soup was never enough for me....more like an appetizer

But I know that there is a lot more out there than just broccoli and cheddar and New England clam chowder! (the only two I ever liked)

So the other day, I cam across some butternut squash I bought, but never used and decided to come up with this:

Coconut Poppy Seed Protein Banana Bread

Sometimes I enjoy my roommates company....

Other times I wanna punch them in the eye.

So last night I was fighting off a very strong urge to binge....which I did...

and then in strolls my roommate and tells me he has bananas that we going bad (which I of course had already had my eye on) and that I should use them before they go bad..

What, am I going to say no?

Of course I was gonna make some bananan bread!

But I love putting my own twist on things

So I present to you,

Coconut Poppy Seed Protein Banana Bread 

With a little help from your friends (or fellow bloggers)...Shrimp & Mushroom Stuffed Squash Ravioli (and or Lasagna)

Now that's a mouthful...

So I was sitting around, thinking about food the other day...typical..and I thought, "why can't I still enjoy one of my favorite dishes...raviolis stuff with any kind of seafood?"

Well wonder no long, self, (yes I do talk to myself from time to time...ok maybe all the time)

I did a little research, and after finding some recipes that had some aspects I wanted in this dish, but not all, I mashed a few up together, added my own twist, and viola!

(I'm investing in a new camera this summer, I promise)

Now I try to make most of my recipes fool proof, or just simple to do, but this one, I'll have to admit, took some time to accomplish.

It wasn't hard, just a little time consuming...but definitely worth it

Fluffy Pomegranate Ginger Cinnamon Pancakes

Oh these bad boys....SO good.

Chocolate Coconut Mug Cake...and my San Fran trip!

AHH I'm so sorry!

I've been seriously MIA for so long! I've been crazy busy, plus my friend just came to visit and we took a trip to San Fran which was AMAZING.

I loved it! Such a gorgeous city I want to move there....maybe one day

I did however cheat...not A LOT....but I drank beer and consumed quite a bit of wheat :(

But I'm getting back on track! Today was a good day for me! No binges! No cheats! I love it!

Key Lime Pie Steel Cut Oats

Who loves key lime pie?

I DO. I FREAKING LOVE IT.

But I'm vegan now :/ So that makes things a little more difficult...

Luckily, I love to cook! I plan on trying to make my own vegan key lime pie soon...that will hopefully be sooner than later :D

But for now, I'll settle for some dessert for breakfast, oatmeal style!

To Die For Coconutty Coconut Cake

So you're probably wondering what that Panang Curry is doing in this post...

Well when I made this bread, I took it over to my friend Natalie's house for her birthday and we ordered out from the Vegan House in Hollywood.

And let me tell you...this was AMAZING. Both dishes that is.

Simple Peanut Butter Smoothie

It can't get any easier than this...but in case you were wondering:

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Proats

Oh what's this you ask??? 

Only the greatest yummiest bowl of oats in the world! Okay maybe I'm exaggerating a little but oh my.

So I love oatmeal raisin cookies (another thing I almost named this blog after)

And I also love breakfast. So I thought...why not make oatmeal reason cookie proats?!

So I've seen different recipes but I was feeling good this morning and decided to go at these bad boys blind. And the end result:

Key Lime Pie Smoothie

Legit hyperventilating over here!!

Just made what might have become my most favorite smoothie in the entire world

No exaggeration. You guys will soon come to find out how much I love Key Lime Pie..it is by far my favorite dessert (I almost named the blog after it)
