Every year when fall hits, I can't stop myself from consuming all things pumpkin. I'm sure you're rolling your eyes thinking I'm like every other person who is on that #PSL train but no really, I'm talking about fresh pumpkin roasted in the oven straight from my mom's garden, canned pumpkin blended in my smoothies and every kind of squash I know dipped in caramelized onion hummus (trust me, it's ...
Vital Triple Dark Chocolate Brownies
I never thought I was a baker, or into baking for that matter, even. What I'm sure all of you would be surprised to know is that my dad's dad (my grandpa) owned a bakery pre-1990. It was called the "Martanovic Bakery" in Cleveland, Ohio (where I'm originally from) and sold tons of breads, cakes, and pastries. You name it.

Chocolate Mint Avocado Toast
You might not believe me when I say when I was little I thrived off of chocolate covered Oreos and Nutter Butters. But it's true. I was addicted to all things filled and covered to the brim with sugary milk chocolate and even would watch t.v. in my basement eating Fudgee Oreos (so heavenly) covered in Jif peanut butter. When my friends would come over, we'd stay up until 3a.m. clinking and ...
