Life is short…
Eat dessert first.
So what should you eat?
- this crazy no-bake popcorn/dulce de leche/pb cheesecake maybe?
- or (omg!) this peanut brittle cheesecake
- if you haven’t seen these brownies, where have you been though
- i’m actually obsessed with joanne and her pies
- breakfast just got adorable and delicious
- want some banana bread for breakfast? (who doesn’t)
- or if you’re feeling waffles, you’re not even ready for these grapefruit ones
- speaking of grapefruit, it’s sorbet season!
- malted milk powder has been all over the blogosphere lately and I couldn’t be more thrilled that it’s in these
- these are from literally forever ago but like, i can’t stop thinking about them?
- because it’s carrot cake season and she’s amazing
- i want five boxes of these magic bars please
- this avo mousse looks so good omg
- these waffles though!!!!!!!!
- okay tbh I didn’t know what a long john was, but now I do and I want 500
- but like, this tart is vegan and gluten free (how)
- speaking of tarts, this is from a while back, but it’s been on my mind
- these bars are giving me life btw
- aaaaand these ones (i told you there’s a malted thing happening!)
- a second carrot cake because why not + graham crackers in cake is genius and the inspo for this cake i just made!
- walnuts are everything and so is vegan chocolate sauce!
- some photogenic and gf brownies for ya
And in case you were looking for savory goodness:
- orzo screams spring and this salad looks tooooo good
- because black rice is pretty and tofu is so good, okay? (haters pls leave)
- this is just the kind of weeknight pasta dinner i crave
- farro is the king of all grains, especially in this springy salad
- the bread. the ricotta. the berries. hello, crostini!
- this sandwich!!!!!!!! i repeat, this sandwich!
- open sesame! (in this case, sesame is my mouth as i guzzle these sweet potatoes)
- possibly the most colorful falafel of all time!
- want some hummus with that falafel? how about on toast?
- orecchiette is unfairly cute in this pasta dish
- soup has never been prettier
- broccoli is delish and soba is even better
- bet you never thought sweet potatoes could get this classy!!!
- this salad screams spring and i want it all
- i used to hate thai food. thank god i adjusted because i would never wanna miss out on this thai noodle stirfry!
- with quinoa and fresh veggies, this salad is killin’ the health and spring game
Hope everyone had a restful Easter weekend and is enjoying the April spring weather!
