Apple Pie Muffins

Even though it’s warm and sunny today where I live and I’m wearing shorts and a tank top, it’s technically winter and I wanted to post a recipe that has winter vibes ☕️

I’ve been making a lot of chocolate chip cookies lately and wanted to mix it up a little. So I took the same basic batter I use for that recipe, incorporated apple, and made some delicious muffins that taste and smell like apple pie! The best part about it is that when you’re preparing the apple mixture on the stove, your house will smell like an apple cinnamon candle! These muffins are really filling, too, because they have healthier ingredients than your typical muffins. They are great for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or even dessert!

Adventures of a First-Time Lobbyist in Washington, D.C.

adventures of a first-time lobbyist in washington, d.c.

Since I’ve become a Political Science major, my desire to visit Washington, D.C. has increased by monumental (see what I did there?) proportions. It’s always seemed like a really cool, interesting city. Well, guess what? It totally is!

I was contacted by the regional director of Citizens’ Climate Lobby back in May to see if I would like to attend their annual international conference in D.C. They wanted someone to represent my district in Texas and they were willing to cover my plane ticket and hostel. Not only would I get to attend a conference with lots of seminars and workshops that discussed all sorts of environmental topics, but I would also get to lobby on Capitol Hill!

I said yes, and I’m so glad that I did because it was really fun and a great experience. I can’t wait to go back to D.C., and in the meantime, here are some highlights of my trip!

Homemade Almond Butter

Homemade Almond Butter has become a staple in my house. I make it about once every week or two, and it’s cheaper and much tastier than buying it at the store! This almond butter tastes perfect with sliced apples, on a sandwich with banana, or even as a sauce on dark chocolate – yum! And I have a couple of secret tips to make sure each batch always comes out delicious!

Vegan Cream Cheese with Dill Crackers

Vegan Cream Cheese with Dill Crackers

When I made this recipe, I took the leftover green onions that I didn’t use and put them in my compost pile. Well, a few months later, a completely new green onion plant grew from it! It reminded me how delicious this recipe was and that I needed to post it. I looked up a few different vegan cream cheese recipes online and incorporated ideas from all of them to create this recipe. The result? A smooth, creamy cheese that is perfect for a party, get together, appetizer, or just a snack. The dill crackers go with this dish perfectly, and they are so easy to make! Let’s get crackerin’! See what I did there?

Red Lentil & Kale Stew

Y’all, it’s actually cold in South Texas! ❄️☃️

It’s been cold and rainy off and on these past couple of weeks, and we even got snow one morning! I’ve been drinking lots of homemade hot chocolate and snuggling with my foster dog, Opal. Then I remembered this warm, hearty soup I made not too long ago and thought it would be the perfect recipe to post.

This delish soup is my version of Kimberly Snyder’s Red Lentil and Carrot Stew. When it comes to soups and stews, I like to keep it simple, and I’m not a big fan of cooked carrots, so I changed things up just slightly. Make this savory soup for your friends and family, or store in the fridge and have ready made meals! Full of nutrients, fiber, and protein, this Red Lentil & Kale Stew is the perfect cold weather meal!
