my new favorite vegan, GF recipes

Last week I caught Cupcake Wars (vegan edition!!) on the Food network,

so i googled the bakers on the show and found Chloe Coscarelli.

Then later in the week 

i turned on Today show for a minute

and Chloe was on the show making her vegan Avocado Pesto Pasta

and vegan Cinnamon-Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies!!

Guacamole and pesto are two of my favorite things 

so this is a match made in heaven for me!!

They aren’t gluten-free recipes

but i simply used brown rice noodles

and gluten free cookie mix base.

It was major success!!!

I whipped up the avocado and basil leaves in the blender, 

which worked awesome,

and literally took less than 5 minutes.

For the cookies, i didn’t have espresso powder, 

so i combined real coffee grinds, cocoa powder, and some instant cappuccino mix,

and it worked perfectly.

I also used 60% Ghirardelli chocolate chips.
They weren’t vegan but im always willing to compromise for chocolate.

My other latest obsession 

is a Hazelnut-Cinnamon-Honey Latte.

I was inspired to try something new when 

Cafe Rosetta’s Facebook status said something about a Honey Cinnamon latte.

So i took out my espresso press and went to work.

This is what resulted:

one strong cup of coffee

1-2 tablespoons Hazelnut Coconut Creamer

1 teaspoon of honey

dash of cinnamon

add or subtract according to taste

For the Avocado Pesto Pasta and
