Vegan Banana Pancakes
I AM NOT A VEGAN. But I have several close friends who are. Being in college and eating in a dining hall most days, I never really had to concern myself with what my vegetarian/vegan friends ate. They did their thing, and I did mine. I was in for a wake up call when my friend group decided to stay at a beach house for a week. The house itself was free; we only had to pay for gas and groceries to cook. And as I was planning meals for the week, a scary thought came into my mind: "Hannah can't eat ANY of this." Majority of my meals are centered around a meat protein, and I couldn't just slap a bag of peas and carrots in front of my friend while the rest of us had actual composed dishes. So I rethought some meals, and throughout the week, one breakfast really stuck out. Pancakes. I looked up what goes in vegan pancakes, and with our extremely basic pantry, whipped up some pancakes that EVERYONE loved. So much that they've been asking me to share the recipe for months now. But to me, the pancakes were a little dense. So I spent those months tweaking the recipe, adding much needed ingredients that weren't worth buying just for that beach house, and finally came to something fluffy, flavorful, and fulfilling. I made my new and improved pancakes for pretty much the same group of people one night recently, and they couldn't believe they could like the pancakes any more than they already did. So with both my friends', and my own seal of approval, I am sharing the secret to these wonderful breakfast pillows with the world.

Food Tips and Hacks Everyone Deserves to Know
For a fundamental task everyone should be able to handle by the time they reach adulthood, the word "cooking" strikes fear into a LOT of people.

This is about YOU. When I ask people if they can cook, some popular answers are; "I can make a mean bowl of cereal," "I can boil water, that's about it," and "Box mac and cheese is my specialty." If you are someone who has any response similar to the examples above, this post is for you. And even if you do dabble in a bit of cooking now and again, here are some tips to take simple foods to the next level, or just improvise in a pinch. Because let's face it, we're not all Gordon Ramsay. The best of us can't afford to stock our kitchens with the finest gadgets and ingredients out there. But that's ok. Because throughout years of taking the struggle bus express to create amazing dishes on a budget, I've picked up individual tips and hacks that you'll have access to right here.
