Who else loves “doctored” baked beans? We’ve been adding things to canned baked beans forever. It’s such an easy way to make a delicious side dish, and they really are versatile. Our favorite canned beans are Bush’s “Grillin’ Beans” and the Bourbon Brown sugar ones are vegan! So, that’s what we’re doing in this recipe.…
Did you know there’s an entire “secret” menu at Starbuck’s? It’s true! There are several posts out there with a list and exactly how to order your secret beverage when you go in to the coffee shop. I love stuff like this! So fun! I decided to recreate one of my favorites. The Starbuck’s Secret…

We love them with these vegan BBQ Riblets, and a big salad. These particular pierogi-stuffed pasta shells are vegan, and I make them using vegan sour cream or homemade…
