Let's get this party started! Every holiday celebration needs a festive drink. A total must. Our family fave is sparkling cider. Apple cranberry or apple grape. Good for kids of all ages. A little champagne is nice too or even hot mulled cider. Oh man, I LOVE mulled cider! I'm going with a refreshing, chilled beverage for my Christmas party this year. A sparkling cider cranberry sangria. If you've never had sangria, it's basically a mixture of fruit and wine. Red or white. For this recipe, I ... read more

gluten free vegan apple fritters
Every once in a while, I will ask for recipe inspiration from my readers. Ideas to test out someday in the kitchen. I'm always up for ideas! Do you know one of my most requested recipes? Apple fritters. Yep, my friends like their donuts. I was a little intimidated by this request. I have fond memories of craving apple fritter donuts when I was pregnant with my daughter. Not a good craving, I might add. It was so hard for me to leave the grocery store without walking by the bakery and adding a ... read more
dairy free apple pie smoothie
I know I've been sharing an abundance of pumpkin recipes, so I think it's time we give the apple some love! Apple cinnamon is another classic fall flavor, one that also just warms your heart. The sweetness from the apples and the spiciness from the ground cinnamon. It's hard to find a more perfect pair. There is never a shortage of smoothie creations, let me tell you. From my favorite green smoothie to an orange creamsicle smoothie, there are endless flavor combinations. This apple pie ... read more
gluten free vegan apple cranberry pie
Let's just take a minute and gaze at the beauty of a slice of freshly-baked pie. Isn't it glorious? I just think pie is one of the most stunning desserts, imperfections and all. Rustic deliciousness at it's finest. Now that Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away, I'm starting to plan my pie baking. This is serious business, people. It's not Thanksgiving without pie. Pumpkin pie is a must (of course). Some favor pecan pie, some go for coconut cream. I always go for the fresh fruit pie. Apple ... read more
gluten free vegan mini cinnamon apple loaves
Next to muffins (and cookies), my favorite thing to make for my family are quick breads. Loaves of yummy goodness that you mix, pour and bake. No fuss. Banana and pumpkin bread are always the most requested around here. For some reason they also request, "no nuts!" Since I'm the only one that seems to think nuts in banana bread is a good idea, I usually leave them out. Anyone else enjoy the added texture and flavor from walnuts or pecans in their quick breads? I know I'm not crazy. I have a ... read more
gluten free vegan caramel apple cupcakes
Fall flavors are all the rage these days. Pumpkin may be number one, but I can be found rooting for the underdog...the apple. The crispy, juicy apple with cinnamon as it's tasty companion. Apple crisp, apple bundt cake, apple muffins, apple pie. Fresh apples, a little spice. It's always something nice! I've done it again. Created a cupcake recipe that I know you won't be able to resist. Who doesn't love a caramel apple? I've taken the flavors of the caramel apple and wrapped them up ... read more
gluten free vegan apple hand pies
Fall will be here soon enough and you know what that means...apple season! Well, and pumpkin season too (of course). But we're talking apples here. Juicy, crisp apples. One of the most versatile fruits. You can go sweet or savory. If you know me, you'll know I like to stick with the sweet. One Good Thing By Jillee recently shared a super helpful post on allergy-free baking and included my recipe for gluten free vegan raspberry hand pies. Thanks, Jillee! Seeing those little ... read more
gluten free vegan apple cinnamon coffee cake
I love lazy mornings with my family. There really isn't anything better. They don't happen often, with school and work schedules. My husband works on Saturdays too. Not cool, but we're used to it. He does have Sundays off. Sunday mornings can also be a bit busy though, with getting ready for church. Kevin is usually playing on the worship team (he plays bass) or I'm teaching the 4-6 year olds class. So when we do get a morning at home, all of us together, with nowhere to go...I savor every ... read more
gluten free vegan apple cranberry bundt cake
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. You know what I will be doing today? BAKING! Lots and lots of baking. Pumpkin pie is a must. I might make an apple crisp and add cranberries (because it just sounds so good right now). My kids have both requested cookies. I wish they would be a bit more specific. Maybe I'll create a new cookie creation and share the recipe! Just incase you didn't have enough gluten free desserts to choose from this list...here is another! I made this apple cranberry bundt cake last ... read more
gluten free vegan apple crisp
Apple crisp. Sweet, sweet apple crisp. Can I just eat this simple dessert everyday, for breakfast and for dessert? I'm wanting to make it again already as the pan is now empty and the apple crisp is no more. Bubbly, caramelized, cinnamon apples. Crispy, crunchy, sweet topping. Apple desserts are at the top of my list, especially this one! I'm a bit picky though with how I have to eat my apple crisp. It must be warm. Total must. It also has to be topped with a scoop of So Delicious vanilla ... read more
