Vegan Strawberries and Cream Doughnuts
When I was little I was a big Strawberry Shortcake fan. As in the popular cute kids TV character with her own show. My Grandma had taped the episodes for me and I would watch them over and over again. If you never watched the show, Strawberry Shortcake was the main character and she had […]
Vegan Black Forest Scones
When I was little, I thought cherries were something that you could only get in cans. I also thought that they were naturally fire truck red, and sickeningly sweet. Something that went on top of your Sundae’s just to top it off…but didn’t taste all that good when you actually ate them. Needless to say […]
Raw Chocolate Covered Cherry Macaroons
My Mom brought me some dried cherries and shredded coconut and asked me if I could make her some cherry coconut bon bons. The cherries were so amazing and fresh and flavorful, and the coconut so sweet and delicious that I was up for trying to make some! After all, she has good taste in […]
Double Berry Mango Layered Smoothie
On a hot and humid day, something cooling and refreshing is absolutely essential. I have been enjoying my popsicles and ice cream lately, but smoothies do the trick too for when you want something a little less sweet but still filling and refreshing. Last weekend, Eric and I got back from a day outside in […]
Mini Vegan Dark Chocolate Fig Cakes
I get really tired of all of the negativity online. People are so mean to one another, and they think it is ok to say whatever they want just because it pops into their head, and they are not face to face with the person they are saying it to. It is all over, and […]
Vegan Roasted Red Pepper Basil Chevre Roll Ups
When I was in college, my Mom and I liked to go to a Spanish tapas restaurant that served these amazing, flavorful little plates (tapas), and the best part about it was being able to try a bunch of different things and share them with each other. I liked them all, but there were a […]
5 Ingredient Vegan Mango Almond Cardamom Ice Cream
It was super hot the last part of this week in Minnesota where I live. Like the type of heat that when you walk outside your hair frizzes, your mascara starts running, and your armpits decide to cleanse their pores by sweating profusely. Also, so humid that you feel like it is extra effort to […]
Summer Roasted Vegetable Pasta with Nut Chevre
Do you ever go to the farmer’s market or store and see loads of beautiful fresh local veggies and just decide to buy a bunch thinking that they would make some sort of beautiful dinner? Well, I do that, and I did that last week. I was really craving some sort of roasted vegetable dish […]
Vegan Almond Fig Bars
I bought a big bag of dried figs a while back thinking I was going to make something fabulous with them, and I got around to making a few things but still had a lot left since it was a 3 lb bag. It has been in my fridge ever since, and every time I […]
Vegan Snickers Layer Cake
My birthday was last Friday, so this post is a little belated, but I promise you the recipe that accompanies it is well worth the wait. Normally I post my birthday cake recipe on my Birthday but it was a little busier this year and I wanted to relax and not stress myself out last […]
Vegan White Chocolate Raspberry Peanut Butter Cups
One of my favorite things about Summer is the raspberries. Being able to buy fresh, local organic ones at the store or even better, finding them on my walks when I am in the woods. It is like finding treasure when you come across raspberries, they are like little edible jewels! I remember my Dad […]
Vegan Herbes de Provence Chevre
I used to be a huge cheese eater before I went vegan. There was a point in time, I would go to the local cheese shop every week and pick out a different cheese to try. There are hundreds to choose from, so I always had a new one to try. Usually, it ended up […]
Vegan Black and Blue Berry Cheesecake Pie
Cheesecake anything always gets me going. From the time I was little I would always choose cheesecake over any other dessert hands down. There is just something crave worthy about the texture and flavor of it. For a while when I was in college I would buy a piece of cheesecake from the local co […]
Vegan Double Blueberry Almond Waffles
I don’t think I have made waffles since last year. So I thought it was about time. The funny thing is, most of the time when I was growing up waffles were for dinner instead of breakfast or brunch in my house. I mean, Mom would occasionally make them after church, but it was weeknight […]
6 Ingredient Vegan Chocolate Fudge Gelato
For most of my life I have been a vanilla girl. It was always vanilla cupcakes over chocolate, vanilla cheesecake over chocolate mousse cake, and vanilla ice cream over chocolate any day. I don’t know if maybe the chocolate was just too intense for me when I had a good sized piece of dessert with […]
Vegan Mint Chip Cake
I loved mint chip (or peppermint bon bon) ice cream growing up as a kid, and I still enjoy it as an adult. There is just something so refreshing and delicious about it, especially in the summer since the mint is cooling. I always was attracted to the green color also, but now I make mine […]
Vegan Lentil, Mushroom Yam Tacos
I had a really bad day a few Fridays ago. I was feeling kind of tired and out of sorts because I was fighting off getting sick and at work and was sort of out of balance, I dropped a large can (like 96 oz can) coconut milk in the cooler (I work in a […]
Vegan Almond Joy Cupcakes
My Mom asked me to make her something chocolaty that she could bring to a dinner with her friends, so of course I said yes. I am always up for making things for other people to enjoy, I can’t have my own Mom having to go out and buy some baked goods to share at […]
Tahini Broccoli Salad
My Mom brought me some broccoli, crasins and tahini, and asked me if I would make her a broccoli salad with it. She was thinking, sort of like a twist on the classic broccoli salad that people make and take to picnics. You know the one, with the bacon, mayo dressing, sunflower seeds, and raisins. The […]
Vegan Miso Almond Brownie Cakes with Caramel
I love white miso. It has a delicious sweet and salty sort of flavor. Some people are weird about it, like, euw, miso, because it is a fermented product, but it is delicious and as you know, I love to ferment things like sauerkraut and kombucha. So I don’t mind the fact that it is […]
Vegan Galaxy Berry Swirl Ice Cream
I wanted to make a red, white and blue ice cream for the 4th, but I never thought that I would end up with a beautiful galaxy ice cream. Most of the time in my kitchen, recipes sort of go like this. It is an experiment, I am not exactly sure how it will turn […]
Vegan Vanilla Berry Cake with “Cream Cheese” Frosting
Since it is the week of the Fourth, I thought it would be appropriate to make a festive cake! When I was little, my Mom would always make festive 4th of July desserts with fresh berries, and I guess I like to keep that tradition going. She was a sheet pan kind of cake maker, […]
Vegan Chili Mango Dark Chocolates
I was given a bag of dried, unsweetened mango. It was delicious! It tasted like fresh mango intensified! I snacked on some, but I wanted to make something with it as well. Something in the form of dessert that I could share with the person that gave it to me. I decided that I wanted […]
