Hello everyone,

How is August treating you? It’s the dog days of summer here, and I’m loving my air conditioning and cool evening walks. A few leaves have been falling, and I can’t help but feel giddy for the fall. And while most folks are preparing for “back to school,” I’m planning my next trip to Mexico City! In order to splurge while I’m away, I’m taking advantage of all the savings I found in my August Savings Round Up. Check out the full list of internet printable coupons, as well as, rebate apple savings below.

One of my most exciting finds was a rare Amy’s coupon for Buy 1, Get 1 on swirls, snacks or handheld items (like burritos) through 9/15/2018.

There is also a $1.00 coupon for Fieldroast products. I absolutely love their Apple Maple Breakfast “Sausage.” It tastes great chopped up in a tofu scramble for a spectacular weekend brunch.

Cheers and happy shopping!

Recipe: Vegan Chocolate Chip Carrot Cake

Hello friends,

My dad loves carrot cake. Every few years for my parents birthdays  … Yes, you read that correctly—my parents were born on the same day two years apart! Anyway, every so often, I surprise them with a homemade carrot cake. This year, I started making the cake, got half way through the recipe, and realized I didn’t have any raisons! A carrot cake without raisons! Can you believe it? Well, it was much too late to head to the store. Or at least, I didn’t want to trek to the 24 hour Giant Eagle. So I started thinking about how to make a carrot cake with a twist. I looked around the cupboard and saw some chocolate chips, pecans and ginger powder. Voila! Why not make a vegan chocolate chip carrot cake?!

I have this saying—good food + good food = good food. It works with basic ingredients as well. The cake was perfectly moist, not too dense, and just sweet enough. It did not disappoint! Both my parents loved it! Why not give this recipe a try the next time you need an ‘inspired’ dessert?

Cheers and happy eating!
