Today’s vegan protein bars have been my loyal snack partner ever since (right alongside these easy Peanut Butter Protein Bars)....

No matter the weather, burritos give me carefree vacation feels, because they remind me of trips to California, where Mission burritos (named for the Mission neighborhood of San Francisco where they originated) reign supreme.

This easy vegetarian burrito recipe is ready in 30 minutes and needs only one big skillet to prepare....

All-purpose flour is the universal wheat-based powder used for baking cakes, cookies, pies, and other pastries. But I’m pretty sure you’ve seen the many different kinds of flour in the grocery, too.

Like most cocktails, they’re easy to make and require very little time or effort on your part. However, unlike some cocktails, those made with Sprite are usually fizzier and tangier. Plus, if you like your drinks to have the wonderful citrus flavor of lemon-lime soda, these Sprite cocktails are definitely for you. Pro Tip: You’ll notice that a few of these recipes don’t actually call for Sprite. However, they do require sparkling water or club soda....

Also, presentation is everything. If you don’t dress them up and make them look fancy, no one will ever see them as anything other than glasses of juice....

Did you know you can swap out sweet potato for pumpkin in almost every recipe? They’re so similar in taste and texture, I’ll bet most people wouldn’t notice the difference. Sweet potatoes are a little more vibrant, and they have a sweeter flavor (naturally), which makes them a better choice for making sweets. And I’m not just talking about sweetbreads and muffins! You’ll find brownies, cookies, scones, and even cinnamon rolls on this list....
