These are my favorite cupcakes to make. They’re rich and chocolatey, but softened by using vanilla and coconut flavors for those of us who don’t like going overboard. Coconut is one of my new favorite ingredients. This cupcake recipe uses three forms of coconut, shredded, the new coconut milk from Almond Fresh, and coconut oil. Ever since I fell in love with it as a hair mask, I’ve been working coconut oil into everything, including these amazing vegan coconut macaroons. And these cupcakes are no different!
As always, they’re completely vegan friendly,without skipping on scrumptiousness!
You’re young. And if you’re like me, that also means your broke. Broke can mean different things to many people. For some, it means masses of student debt, living at home, only being able to find part-time work- or worse, no work at all.
So you’e got little money coming in, and lots going out. It seems all of your friend’s are going to Cuba, buying and entirely new outfit for an upcoming socia, and doing pub crawls every weekend while you look at the cobwebs in your wallet and and whimper ‘No thanks, maybe next time.”
You try to be smart with your money, but it’s hard when there seems to be so little to be smart with. You want to have fun, and fun costs money. I get it. And I’m going to show you how to make the most out of your cash.
It’s easy to look garish when you’re Snow White pale. And unless you’re headed to a high-fashion photoshoot, it’s easy to look over-the-top with heave charcoal or too-bold brows. As a fellow pale-gal, here are my tips to looking pale-gal-pretty!
It’s not secret that my hair is fried. I’m sure if you go back just a couple of pages on this blog it’s been about 10 different colors. (I can’t help if I’m fickle!) And if you’re anything like me, you cringe come winter time. My hair is in bad enough shape from all the peroxide and ammonia concoctions I slather on it- but then going and adding cold, dry weather into the mix? Ew.
So here it is. I’m arming you against dry, frizzy hair. We’re going to banish fly-aways. We’re going to soften scraggly ends. How? With something probably already in your pantry. Yep, Coconut oil.
It’s officially December, which means only one thing (other than CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS!), I’ve become a bake-aholic. Last week, I made Peanut-Butter Reindeer cookies. This week, I had a coconut craving and whipped up some of the most delicious and simple macaroons, two ways! Whether you prefer the sweet, light vanilla- or the rich chocolate!
These macaroons are bite-sized and firm up quite well, so they would make great homemade gifts. Find some cute Christmas boxes, or decorate plain cellophane bags with decorative ribbon!

I’d been meaning to bring a little kale into my home cooking. I’ve had amazing kale at restaurants and from other vegan foodies, but I was warned of it’s bitterness and was a bit hesitant at adapting it into recipes myself. Once I happened upon this recipe from the PPK, I knew I had found the perfect recipe to kale-ify. Here’s my recipe below:
When you’re young and on a budget, The whole Christmas season can be one big stress-fest. I have a word document on my computer with everyone I have to buy gifts for. In italics I write ideas, In regular type I write purchased items, and then when that person is finished, I grey out there name. Doesn’t that seem so complicated?
It’s because it is. I have to start shopping early in the season to be able to afford gifts for everyone in my family and still be able to pay the gas bill on time. And I’m sure it’s like that for a lot of young people around the holidays. You show everyone you love them by spending $20-50 on a trinket that reminds you of them, or clothes you think they would pick out for themselves.
I get gifting. I love Christmas. But it doesn’t have to be so bland and depressing for you on the giving end. So clear out the cobwebs in your wallet, this year, your going to go the homemade gift route!
