Hello spring! These baked cake-y Matcha Donuts are a perfect introduction to spring. The matcha infused batter has a caramelized, bittersweet, &. earthy taste. They are perfect for people who enjoy subtly sweet treats (you could always add more glaze.) They are a not-so-guilty treat perfect for all of your spring potlucks. Plus, These donuts […]
I’m not a huge breakfast fan; it’s too early and I don’t ever feel like cooking in the morning. This breakfast sandwich has definitely changed my mind though. It is loaded with soyrizo, spinach, homemade chickpea egg patty, Sriracha aioli, and vegan feta cheese all on a delicious bakery bun. I ate this exact breakfast […]

Butternut Squash Risotto INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 medium yellow onions, finely diced 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more […]
