I love Vanilla anything. Always have, always will.
Here are just a few things I found in my kitchen in a matter of seconds that are vanilla related
I found this Vanilla Sugar in Aruba
I found this gourmet real vanilla extract on sale at my local Ralph’s grocery store. $12.99 for 8 ounces. That is insanely cheap for real vanilla extract. The McCormick’s “non-gourmet” vanilla is about $7.99 for 2 ounces. The math definitely pencils out on the Rodelle.
If you have a TJ’s near you, this is definitely worth the $4.99 for 4 ounces. Better grab this and some peanut flour.
You can make Vegan Bourbon Vanilla Softserve with it
Or Vegan Vanilla Chocolate Chip Softserve
That’s a bourbon vanilla pool
And Vanilla Stevia is a staple for me
Check out my Stevia Recipes Compilation Post for the many ways I use stevia.
And I love Vanilla candles
For grocery store type candles, this Glade one does a good job of really making the air smell vanilla-ey. Sometimes candles are so “faint”, I find them to be a waste of money.
I also love vanilla lotions, bodyspray, perfumes, and anything vanilla-scented.
And I love vanilla in Drinks.
Vegan Vanilla Hot Cocoa. Guiltless and fast.
And I love vanilla in Food. And Desserts.
That is Vanilla-Agave-Cinnamon “Juice”
Only 3 ingredients in these and one of them is vanilla.
And Vegan Peanut Butter Vanilla Balls
Happy birthday, Skylar!! :D
I love vanilla! Vanilla extract is one of my favorite scents. It’s heavenly! Vanilla beans are a real treat, too.
Happy birthday to that gorgeous daughter! And I am a HUGE vanilla fan. Love it. Love the taste. Love the smell.

Happy official Birthday, Skylar! I hope your day is full of pink outfits and fun memories!
I think vanilla is ok.
I am a HUGE fan of mint, especially in chocolate! I have spied a new recipe that uses mint leaves in a bean concoction, and I cannot wait to try it.
Seriously. I can’t resist anything mint. It’s my ‘strange addiction’!
happy birthday, skylar! i hope you had a beautiful day!
do you remember where in aruba you got the vanilla sugar, averie? just wondering if at the supermarkets or downtown…
i love the scent of vanilla lotions and candles, and love vanilla in baked goods. for some reason, have always DISliked vanilla ice cream – too plain for my taste!
Skylar is just precious, beautiful and looks like she has such a great spirit. That smile is catching!!!
Scents: I go insane for woodsy scents — mint, leaves, grass, rain. Next up is citrus and flowers. Last comes anything food-related. Haha!
Happy Birthday to Skylar! She’s adorable!
Vanilla has been since childhood and always will be my absolute favorite flavor. For the first 20 years of my life, I refused to eat ANY other flavor of ice cream. :)
i find myself adding vanilla to every breakfast, snack and dessert imaginable. and coffee. and Kahlua? Rum? The possibilities are endless…
Girl, I love ALL things vanilla! Vanilla almond milk, extract in everything, vanilla Vega protein, you get the idea. And vanilla stevia drops are liquid gold in my house, it’s especially good in hot chocolate!
I love vanilla, too. I splurge for the good stuff–it’s so worth it! I’ve never tried vanilla stevia though, I need to.
Happy Birthday to you sweet little one! She has gotten so big this past year! I love vanilla! We stopped buying extracts years ago and now we make our own. It’s too expensive for us to buy the stuff at the store. I hope you are having a great afternoon!
You make your own? As in vanilla beans + vodka and wait a month? I have heard/wanted to try this for ages…just never have.
Fill me in!
Happy birthday to Skylar!
My favorite vanilla is definitely vanilla bean paste. It’s a blend of vanilla extract, vanilla beans, sugar, and alcohol, and it makes the best ice cream
i need to get my mitts on the vanilla bean PASTE!!!
Happy Birthday to Skylar! :)
I was looking at your caramel recipe and I was wondering if you have tried it with another type of nut and have gotten the same results? The reason why I am asking is because pine nuts are RIDICULOUSLY expensive here in B.C. Canada. They cost $8 for 100gm!
I love the smell of clean laundry. I bought a candle that is suppose to smell like it, but really… it doesn’t! I’ve been on the hunt for a replacement so maybe I’ll see about this vanilla one. :)
My day has been pretty ok. My university is known for having a lot of wild bunnies on campus, so we had to do an ecology lab to go out and count all the bunnies. There weren’t too many though, due to new policies and whatnot. But it was still great to walk around campus for 45 minutes!
other canadian readers have told me that about pine nuts. Honestly, the way the pine nut blends/gets crushed up with the pine nut oils, just buy them. You won’t regret it. And the recipe calls for a tiny amount, like 1/4 or 1/2 cup. Not many. Consider it your splurge this week :) If you use other nuts, you will get more of this

minus the sugar.
Thank you for answering my question! Those sugar cookie dough balls look really delicious.
Hope you are having a nice day! :)
Happy birthday, Skylar! She is such a little lady now!!
I am totally a sucker for vanilla pretty much anything. I used to be a total chocolate girl, and I still love me some chocolate (the darker the better!), but vanilla has my heart. I too put vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste, my vanilla true love) in anything, especially my oats, farina, and smoothies. Cookies. Cakes. And always more than they say to use if it’s called for in a recipe.
Love. It!
I just learned that madagascar had a bad year in producing pure vanilla extract :(
BUT they are selling vanilla beans at a much cheaper price, so we’ll be able to use the actual bean instead of extract now!
Happy Birthday Skylar!!
Oh gosh you have just reminded me why I need to invest in some quality vanilla. I didn’t realize the difference until I tried some a few months ago. I buy Kirkland Costa brand…you get a huge bottle for like $8. lol. I guess I could buy a small bottle of the good stuff and then use it only for the veeeeery special recipes.
I love the idea of a huge bottle for $8!
And I totally “ration” out and select certain vanillas for certain recipes. If I know I am making something I give away like at a party, I don’t exactly break out the top shelf vanilla :)
