Raw Berry Almond Tart
My Mom liked to make berry desserts on to celebrate the 4th of July. She made a frozen cake topped off with berries that looked like a flag, and a tart with cream and berries which was my favorite. I decided this year that I needed to make a version of a berry tart with […]
Raw Strawberry Rhubarb Cheesecake Bars
I was over at my Dad’s house on Father’s Day and I picked a whole bunch of rhubarb. I almost left without it, but Eric reminded me it was there, and I was all like… “Are you wanting me to bake something with it, or is that a hint?” Of course it was, and he […]
Blueberry Muffin Batter Overnight Oats
This may sound kind of odd, but I like blueberry muffin batter even more than regular cake batter. I know it is slightly less sweet but that is what I love about it. That and the few berries that I may or may not have purposely left behind in the bowl so I could enjoy them […]
Vegan Mississippi Mud Cookies
I was watching one of my coworkers drizzling chocolate over the freshly baked cookies at work and I decided that I had to make something with chocolate when I got home. Chocolate cookies. Because that was what I was suddenly craving after smelling that chocolate. I didn’t want to make something I had made before, […]
Sunshine Curried Chickpea Stew
Love is about taking care of those who are close to you when they are having trouble taking care of yourself. We all need a little help sometimes, and you never know when it might be you that needs it. At least that is how I feel. Eric wasn’t feeling the greatest last week, […]
Vegan Banana Split Parfait
Sometimes I run into writer’s block in the recipe department when I have a lot of other things going on in my life. Luckilly though I have a few special people around me that help to inspire me when I am feeling a little uninspired. I asked Eric what I should make last week, […]
Raw Raspberry Dream Pie
Cream pies are the perfect thing for summer as far as I am concerned. But I guess I consider them somewhat of a special thing to make since I don’t make the often. There was no special occasion last weekend, but I decided to make it special and make a cream pie. Raspberry cream pie […]
4 Ingredient Banana Cream Pie Popsicles
Although I am all about the fancy desserts sometimes, other times I am all about the super easy ones. And nothing beats popsicles for easy in the summer. Don’t get me wrong, I love my elaborate ice cream flavors, but it is nice to simply blend something, pop it in the freezer and half a day later […]
Exciting Nut Butter Recipes You Need To Try!
I don’t know about you but I am in love with nut butter. Of course it started as a child when my Mother would make me peanut butter and raspberry jam sandwiches. I loved those. I refused to eat sandwiches with lunch meat (even then I was meant to be vegan). Or when she used […]
Vegan Double Berry Lemon Doughnuts
Ever since I made my German Chocolate Doughnuts last week with my new pan, I have been wanting to make more doughnuts. Something about the idea of baking healthier doughnuts is pretty amazing in my mind. I guess because I have never had a doughnut pan before. So anyways, I got these beautiful berries on sale […]
Spicy Pink Jalapeno Saurkraut
An unhappy tummy is an unhappy person. At least with my personal experience. Which is why I like to keep my gut happy. Eating probiotics is one way to help with that. So why is it important to have a healthy gut? Well, a lot of your immunity lives in your gut. The healthy bacteria are […]
Raw Chocolate Raspberry Thumb Print Cookies
I really enjoyed dress up when I was a little kid. I was always putting on weird combinations of clothes that I thought would look pretty, even though most of the time I looked ridiculous. My own clothes were fun, but the most interesting clothes were at Grandma’s house. I would dig through her boxes […]
Vegan Lemon Corncakes (gluten free) with Raspberry Rhubarb Sauce
Last week, I had some beautiful raspberries and rhubarb just begging to be used in some sort of delicious dish. Although just dessert would have been wonderful, I thought something a little more substantial and meal oriented might be a good idea. It was after work, I was hungry and I was talking to Eric […]
Peach Melba Overnight Oats
I ate oatmeal every day for 10 years straight in a row from the time I was in high school to a few years back. It was my go to meal every morning, I loved it and I never tired of it. Adding in goodies sometimes like peanut butter or fruit. It always tasted good […]
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Sometimes my boyfriend Eric just looks at me and says “You are weird.” and I say “So are you.” Usually because I am doing something like making a funny face at him randomly or something. We love it and that is what we appreciate about each other. No judging going on here, I never […]
Vegan Chickpea Flour Pancakes and Spiced Lentil Potato Hash
I have always loved Indian food since the first time I tried it back when I was in college. I loved it so much I used to get cookbooks from the library and look for traditional recipes to make at home so I could enjoy it all the time, not just when I went out […]
Raw Blueberry Muffin Batter Almond Butter
Blueberry muffins were a regular occurrence on Saturday mornings at my Dad’s house growing up. I always looked forward to making them even though my Dad was no baker (no offense Dad, still love you anyhow) and used a boxed mix. I would always lick the bowl clean of batter every time after we had […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Blondie Tart
Someone recently asked me what my guilty pleasure food is. You might be surprised when you hear it was not cake, or ice cream or French fries…it was peanut butter. Yes peanut butter. I could eat a whole jar if I could. That stuff is so addictive. Luckilly though I am satisfied with a few […]
Vegan German Chocolate Doughnuts
I never turned down a doughnut when I was younger. I mean come on…who doesn’t think they are delicious?! But when I started to eat healthier as I got older I didn’t enjoy any knowing what is in most of the commercially made ones. I didn’t really miss them or crave them, but I have […]
Red Velvet Smoothie
I love Red Velvet Cake. Or Red Velvet anything dessert…like doughnuts, or ice cream sandwiches or strawberry shortcake. The classic cake cented with vanilla, such a beautiful eye popping color, and creamy frosting…heavenly. My favorite flavor is after all vanilla. No offense to chocolate. In all of my red velvet desserts I always use beets […]
Roasted Beet and Quinoa Salad with Chickpeas
Sometimes I just make things on the fly when I get home for dinner, and sometimes I spend my day at work thinking about them. The salad I am sharing with you today was the latter. Truth is I made 2 beet salads, at work, spent a chunk of my day working with beets, tasted […]
30+ Delicious Vegan Peanut Butter and Chocolate Recipes!
The first time I ever ate a Reese’s peanut butter cup as a child, I was in love. The combination of the rich decadent chocolate melting in my mouth with the gooey salty peanut butter was something I would always look forward to from then on. Peanut butter and chocolate were just meant to be […]
Vegan Gluten Free Sugar Free Raspberry Cupcakes
Since my Gluten Free Sugar Free Vegan Marble Cupcakes that I recently made turned out so good, I decided to try making some more sugar free cupcakes last weekend. This time though, it was raspberry. I had raspberries on hand and I had thought about making muffins…but when I talked to Eric about it he said […]
Vegan French Silk Pie Shooters
French Silk Pie has always been a classic as far as I am concerned. My Dad used to pick one up from Baker’s Square whenever there was a special occasion. I always got quite excited about it. Whats not to love after all about a pie with a chocolate mousse like filling, graham cracker crust and loads […]
