Recipe: Vegan Homemade Pasta Dough

lasagna_2Hello everyone,

Over the holidays, my partner and I did a lot of binge watching. You can relate, right? One of our new favorite videos is Pasta Grannies on YouTube.

The premise is simple. A British woman goes around recording Italian grannies making pasta. So simple, yet so entirely addictive to watch!

I don’t have any memories of my grandparents making pasta from scratch from my childhood, but my mom does. She told me all about how her childhood Sundays were a full day of rolling out gnocchi and simmering sauce. I suppose watching Pasta Grannies is comforting and helps me feel more connected to my Italian side. Plus, I was happily surprised that many of the pasta recipes they used were vegan.

Vegan in Vienna

DSC_0718.JPG

Hello fellow travelers,

In December, I was lucky enough to head to Vienna, Austria for a few days. I was so excited to see the beautiful, old architecture and landscapes. But what about vegan food? After all, Vienna is the land of the sachertorte cake and schnitzel. I was pleasantly surprised by a wealth of vegan options almost everywhere I went and  a solid number of vegetarian/ vegan-specific restaurants. Below is my brief round up of the fantastic vegan food I tasted during my trip and some mouth watering photos, too!

Enjoy, fellow vegan travelers!

First Savings of 2017: Almond Breeze, $5 off produce, & more!

Hello everyone and happy weekend!

I’m working on a  lot of new vegan-friendly dinner ideas for the next few days. But for now, I put together a round up of vegan savings from my favorite rebate savings apps and manufacturer coupons.

I recently added a new savings app to my usual routine. BevRAGE is an alcohol-only rebate app. It’s interesting because there are savings for specific brands, but also $1 back on “any” bottle of different varieties of liquor. You can get $2.00 automatically if you sign up with my referral code “KNVOUKFS.”

I also wanted to alert you to a new year promo from Ebates. If you sign up for Ebates and use it to make an online purchase by 3/31/17, you’ll get a $10 new member bonus! I know, I know. Ebates can seem a little weird, but it works and it’s not a scam. I’ve earned over $110 for making purchases I was already planning on.

Ebates Coupons and Cash Back

Okay, so for the first time in 2017, check out the best coupons and rebates to help you save a few dollars during your weekend shopping.

Happy shopping (& eating)!

Jocelyn

Recipe: Vegan Pumpkin Roll

fullsizerender-copy-2Hello friends!

My dad has a bit of a sweet tooth. The one dessert that his mom constantly had around the house for the holidays was a fresh, homemade pumpkin roll (and pies and cookies and all that good stuff, too). But let’s not get distracted, I’m here to talk about pumpkin roll.

I also have a strong love for all things pumpkin flavored, and I don’t believe that these baked goods should be stuck in the month of November. No, they should be enjoyed all-year long. Continue reading “Recipe: Vegan Pumpkin Roll” →
