For my contribution to our recipe swap, I made this baked oatmeal inspired by layer cakes. The baked oatmeal is lemon-flavored, and it’s brought together in the center by sweet and simple raspberry jam. As always, this recipe is vegan, sweetened by fruit (except for the jam), and uses simple pantry ingredients. Continue reading
Hello Oatmeal Artist Readers! It’s Monica from My Pink Recipe Book posting again and I am very excited to be sharing another recipe with all of you. This one features oatmeal in bar-form rather than my previous seasonal steel cut oatmeal recipe, and it is a little more on the treat-side of breakfast dishes, but still better than run-of-the-mill granola bars.

One of my biggest flaws is impatience. These pineapples should have deeper, darker, more beautiful grill marks, but I was like “OH COOL THEY HAVE SOME LINES ON THEM SO THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY DONE.” Either way, the result was delicious. If you are more patient than I am, you can probably make this even better, if that’s possible.

Here are the top 10 recipes for lovers of all things COCONUT!
Alright, so I had this super idea for an oatmeal regarding my beloved Pseudo Vegan Lemon Curd. It would have been perfect, but my uncharacteristic carelessness came back to haunt me. See, to make a solid pseudo curd, you need Greek-style yogurt. The store I was in didn’t have that, so I said, “F*** it,” and bought regular SoDelicious coconut yogurt. Continue reading
Let’s start with the obvious. I empathize with your struggle; I have more body image issues than literally anyone I know. I am here to tell you you are super. I bet you have killer hobbies like winning ping pong leagues or jamming out on a cello. I bet you’ve taken the leap and dyed your hair fluorescent pink or something spunky like that. I bet you have hundreds of people in your school, work, or following you on Instagram that envy how inspiring, cool, or brilliant you are, and you don’t even realize it. Continue reading
2014 was the year of the bagel. For 2015, Allison and I set out on a different adventure: visit the best coffee shop in 30 NYC neighborhoods according to Thrillest.
Allison likes to switch up her order–ranging from iced lattes to cortados to cold brews. I stick to the same order every time: espresso. Call me hardcore, but I love the hit of a well-done espresso. I like being able to truly taste the quality of the shop’s roasting. Some espresso is too bitter and harsh and needs a bit of simple syrup (or honey because I’m “one of those vegans”–go ahead and berate me in the comments; I can handle your lambasting), while others are strong but mellow, perfectly sippable on their own.
My favorites? Well, I’m so glad you asked. 🙂 Continue reading
I’m unfortunately going through “empty out the fridge!!!” mode again; it seems like I was doing that just a couple weeks ago. (Because I was.) Before, it was because of my move to Brooklyn. Now it’s because of my trip(s) to Minnesota, Seattle, and Vancouver. To those of you who follow me on Instagram, be prepared for excessive photos. Traveling makes me camera happy.
Anyway, I wasn’t sure what to pair the dragon fruit with. I didn’t even know what it tasted like! Not wanting to purchase more produce, I considered the options that were already available in my (UNREASONABLY SMALL) Brooklyn fridge: apples, grapefruit, banana, and peaches.
If you don’t know which one I chose, you should probably go back and read the title of the post.
