Do you have secret stashes of sweets you hide from the kids? Maybe you've shoved the last bit of ice cream to the hidden recesses of the freezer? Chips in your car? Snickers in the drawer of your desk?

Life Is still sweet is still whipping out some essentials. I have to say that I'm a huge fan of having fun drinks to entertain with. I've even decided that some drinks can have their own parties and be

The pie is a comfort shrouded in many commandments; flakey crust, all butter, lard, rest the dough, cornstarch in the fruit. No one wants to stray from Granny's recipe for fear of breaking her sweet little

I really like to pair drinks with the food being served, and I like to keep some money in my wallet after I have people over. The key to this is to find one drink of your fancy and mix it in advance, (enough

Recently there was a series of unfortunate events that lead me to be without an oven. The repair guy had some terrible news; the cost to fix it is as much or more than a new one. None of this was what

Happy Friday friends! How was your week? My sister introduced me to this chocolate peppermint almond beverage and I can’t get enough! It has just a touch of peppermint, and I’ve been mostly heating it

Back when I was dealing with my concussion, I used to take turmeric supplements each day to help with the healing process but now, I try to incorporate it when I can in other ways. Don’t be weirded out

Happy Monday, friends! How was your weekend? I wish I could say mine was full of parties and overeating but alas, I’ve been trying to get everything together to leave for vacation on Friday so that wasn’t

This take on creamy potato soup–sans cheese and plus cauliflower–gets its creaminess from the potatoes and a little almond milk, making it completely vegan and still a decadent treat for a night. Ingredients:

Hazelnuts alone = reasonable. Pears alone = sensible. Pears + hazelnuts + hazelnut oil + Frangelico = I don’t even know. That’s like putting a bird on a cake. I should also tell you there’s yogurt all

Let me tell you about these darling vegetarian “meatballs.” I’m not a vegetarian, but I used to be one, which means that both sides either trust me or completely distrust me. In this case, both should

Sweet, brilliant red, a little spicy, a little tangy, a lot delicious. Minus the pretty swirl of dairy product, it’s vegan. There are a couple of extra steps involved to roast the peppers and made candied

The promise of this cake had me completely hooked. It had pretty much everything I dream of: pillowy texture, mild flavor, lively scent of lime zest, and bright, nearly supernatural green color (that color

I became fond of raw tomatillos a while ago and haven’t looked back. My go-to potluck appetizer, actually, is basic salsa made with fresh tomatillo instead of tomato. I should call it Ill Salsa and see

Look at how happy the ending to this story is. By “happy,” I mean light as air (figuratively), fluffy like a cloud (ditto), and not too sweet, with a very noticeable, toasty sesame flavor. And that’s just

Sweet potatoes, corn, crunchy red peppers and celery–they’re all great. But the magic here is miso. I’ve loved the stuff for a long time, but hadn’t bought it or really cooked with it until now. What.

There are certain places a vegetable is just not allowed to go, boldly or not. You know–things like… A patty melt. Dessert, in most cases, is off-limits too. Ditto for breakfast–but that comes with an

Rest assured, I am not here to spoil the party. By “the party” I mean the best kind of conspiracy: the big delusion in which we all decided that blueberry muffins are not cake and therefore a breakfast

I distinctly remember that a crullers recipe was one of the first things I pinned. I’ve long been intimidated by this project; crullers look so French and so impossibly fancy on bakery shelves. pexels.com

We all know that the time window in a banana’s lifespan in which it is perfect and heavenly is, oh, about 10 minutes. It’s unfair. pexels.com
