Our top five favorite vegan things of autumn!

September 21, 2018

Fall is such an exciting time. Cool crisp mornings, a slight breeze in the air. Apple picking and pumpkin patches. And aside from all of the pumpkin spice goodness, it also marks the beginning of birthday season around here, so it’s arrival is doubly exciting for our family.

Needless to say, we love everything autumn! We are so excited about new and old favorites and wanted to share our top five favorite vegan fall finds from this season!

1. Unintentionally vegan “Pumpkin Rolls” from Trader Joe’s. These delicious cinnamon rolls come with a packet of pumpkin spice icing, which makes for a perfectly festive fall breakfast. Or dessert. Or any meal for that matter. Trader Joe’s regular cinnamon rolls are also accidentally vegan. Another way to enjoy these are by sticking them in a waffle maker and eating them like waffles. Either way, you can’t go wrong with this fresh-out-of-the-oven goodness.

 

2. Toffee Nut Almond Milk Steamer from Starbucks. There are plenty of fall favorite coffee drinks out there, many of which can be veganized. But for a kid-friendly and caffeine free treat, we love these steamers. They are basically a steamed almond milk, with any added flavor of your choice. Toffee Nut gives you that perfect fall taste.  You can get these year round, but they are especially fun to order in the fall while walking around the pumpkin patch. For an extra autumn feel, add Starbucks “Autumn Sugar Topping” and it will put you in the mood for all things fall.

 

3. Trader Joes Candy Corn Popcorn. Dare I say that these actually taste BETTER than candy corn? If you have a sweet tooth, you will definitely love these.

 

4. Dave’s Killer Bread Pumpkin Spice Madness Bagels. If you love pumpkin, these are exactly what you need in your life. They are absolutely the perfect fall food and I love the idea behind the company. Pair them with Miyoko’s Butter for a delicious, mouthwatering combination.

 

5. Califia Farms Almondmilk Creamer. In delicious fall flavors like Pumpkin Spice and Toffee Tidings, your fall morning brew will put you in the perfect autumn mood.

 

So those are our family’s top five things we are loving this season! I would love to hear your favorites in the comments below. Here’s to a fun season filled with pumpkin patches, hayrides and lots of Starbucks Steamers. 🙂

The Redlands Vegan Tour

July 31, 2018

 

 

I had the privilege of tagging along with Niko, of About Redlands, on a vegan excursion through our beautiful California town. Being vegan for over seven years, my family knows firsthand just how far Redlands has come in the plant-based department. We went from one tiny single dinner option (that was often sold out) at our weekly farmers market, to more vegan options at Market Night than I can count on one hand. And now we are excitedly awaiting the arrival of our favorite San Diego based vegan fast food chain, Plant Power!

I discovered EVEN more options while on this vegan excursion through Redlands while eating at places I would have never even considered to have anything vegan. I’m definitely proud of how far our little town has come. Click here to read the article and discover a few hidden vegan gems in Redlands:

Thanks so much for including me About Redlands. It was such a pleasure!

Vegan Milkbath

June 18, 2018

I’ve had a lot of questions on how we did our vegan milkbath, so I figured I would do a quick post on it. It literally took one boxed carton of non-refrigerated coconut milk, mixed with a little water and that’s it! Add in any kind of floral, cereal, toys or anything you’d like. Then you’ll be good to go. We used fresh eucalyptus, and we were lucky enough to pick it from a friend’s tree. If you’re doing it with an older babe, like ours was (10 months), just remember that you have a really short window to get it done. So definitely try to have everything in place before you put your little one in.

Most moms I know (vegan or not) actually use coconut milk, because of its perfectly thick consistency. I honestly feel like this photo shoot is great for any age and leaves them silky smooth. And contrary to popular belief, it’s not just for little girls. We had a ton of fun doing this with our little guy and I definitely recommend it.
