Vegan Summer Berry Sweet Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting
My perfect summer day off involves going for a run in the morning and having it be cool and refreshing outside, then enjoying some berry picking and more time outside maybe going for a walk in the woods, and later making something fabulous with those berries, and afterwards relaxing with my favorite person and a […]
Vegan PB & J Pop-Tarts
I was never much of a fan of pop-tarts when I was little truth be told, especially not the fruit ones, they tasted artificial to me. Probably because there was loads of sugar and artificial ingredients. The only ones I kind of liked were the cinnamon sugar. I did however love pie and pastries, just […]
Vegan Matcha Mint Chip Ice Cream
There is nothing more refreshing to me than mint lately. My favorite thing to do after a workout or being in the hot sun is to take a bath with peppermint oil, or use my home made peppermint body spray after. It is so cooling and it smells amazing. Another favorite refreshing thing, iced matcha […]
Grapefruit Lavender Body Mist and Rosemary Mint Body Mist
I love essential oils. They make all the difference sometimes in terms of the way your body feels. For instance. Walking into a room to the aroma of lavender and grapefruit I am calmed and relaxed. I sometimes like to use this scent in my room at night for that reason if I am feeling […]
5 Ingredient Vegan Blackberry Hazelnut Ice Cream
When I bought an ice cream maker about 10 years back, I had no idea how much I would use it. But I ended up using it almost every week for a few years. I originally bought it because I wanted to create healthier ice cream than the store bought that wasn’t full of weird […]
Spicy Ginger Garlic Saurkraut
What many people don’t realize is that keeping your gut healthy is important. If it is not healthy, and does not have enough healthy bacteria in it, you might start to have problems with digestion, get sick more often (because much of your immune system is there), have skin issues, and feel tired among other […]
Vegan Mixed Berry Pie with Pecan Crumble Topping
Berries make me think of summer. Eric and I always pick the wild raspberries and mulberries that we come across on our walks, as sort of a little sweet treat. They are kind of special, like little jewels in the forest because you don’t see that many of them, and they are only around for a short time. […]
Vegan German Chocolate Potato Cake
When someone asks me if I can veganize a recipe I am always game. So when a reader asked me a few weeks back if I would make a potato cake, I was excited to do so! I had never actually had a potato cake, so I looked up other recipes to see if I […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Bread
It has been a very long time since I made banana bread. I used to make it often when I was younger. I remember it was one of the first things I attempted to bake at home when I was in middle school. Using my Grandma’s recipe written on a worn out card. Those were […]
Raw Strawberry Jam and Almond Butter Cups
I try to be thankful for the little things. I am trying not to dwell on the negatives or things I can’t change lately and instead try and find the positives in things. And if I can’t find a positive, like it is a really bad day or something I go home and do something […]
5 Ingredient Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
It was really hot and sticky last Monday. I went out for a walk in the afternoon, and when I got home, I felt like I had been dipped into a stinky pond. I took a refreshing bath laced with peppermint oil, and that helped to cool me down, but I also decided that I […]
Vegan Strawberries and Cream Popcorn
Strawberries are finally in season here, so I have been a little obsessed with them lately. Strawberries and rhubarb of course, but strawberries on their own are pretty sweetly satisfying too. Someone was telling me about some Mango popcorn at a local store, and I thought to myself, I want strawberry popcorn. It was going […]
Just Vegan Cakes and Recipe for Peanut Butter Banana Layer Cake
I am excited to announce, that I have just released my third cookbook, “Just Vegan Cakes“! I have been working on it for over a year, making delicious cake recipes every weekend and gathering them together to share with you all. I can not tell you how excited I am for this moment to have […]
Vegan Coconut Caramel Cake
My Mom gave me a bag of shredded coconut and asked me to make something delicious with it. I made some macaroons, but I also made the most glorious cake. To begin with, when the idea of making a coconut cake came to mind, I was going to go for a classic coconut layer cake. […]
Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Scones
I made some home made Nutella last week, and it got me wanting to make more hazelnut stuff. It was just so good, so addictive. Like you can’t have just one spoonful. That is the problem with me and nut butter. Anyways, I decided to make chocolate hazelnut scones. I see my coworker making scones […]
Vegan Lentil Walnut Burgers
I make veggie burgers a lot at work, but for some reason not much at home. Maybe it is because there are only a few types of veggie burgers that appeal to me, and to me most veggie burgers are nowhere near similar to meat burgers. Not that I ever miss meat, in fact it […]
Raw German Chocolate Macaroons
My Mom gave me a bag of fancy shredded coconut and told me to make something good out of it. I made a cake decorated with it, which will be shared in the near future in case you are interested, but I also decided to make some coconut macaroons. Because she loves coconut macaroons, and […]
Vegan Matcha Chocolate Chip Pancakes
What do you make for dinner on a rainy day when you need a mood booster? Pancakes. At least that is what I made. Colorful pancakes, because those are fun right?! Well, I was just in a matcha sort of mood, so I made matcha chocolate chip pancakes to share with Eric, because he is […]
Vegan Green Tea Strawberry Rhubarb Cupcakes
Did your Grandma ever make jam? Or did she have friends that did who shared it with you? Well mine did, and let me tell you, that jam was some of the best I have ever eaten. I mean really, most store bought jam just doesn’t compare to home made. So, I was thinking about […]
Spicy Quinoa Veggie Black Bean Salad
I had one really busy day last week where I got home late from work, was feeling stressed and didn’t want to fuss over dinner. A pre-dinner walk with Eric helped, but I was still not in the mood to cook something complicated. It was a warm day so salad sounded awesome. You wouldn’t think I […]
Coconut Matcha Mint Mousse with Berries
I am not a coffee drinker, but I do love a good matcha latte once in a while. I was thinking about how good it is to top off your matcha latte with coconut cream, and I decided that making a coconut matcha mousse was a good idea. I had some fresh berries, and I […]
