Vegan Sweet Potato Bourbon Caramel Cake
It was Eric’s 30th Birthday last weekend, and that deserved a bit of celebration! His birthday usually gets kind of lumped in with Thanksgiving some years, but not this year luckilly, so we were able to go out and celebrate! It is not like it is warm and summery out in November, so we did […]
Vegan Gingerbread Crepes
Thanksgiving has come and gone, so that means Christmas, Christmas everywhere! Pretty soon you won’t be able to go anywhere without hearing Christmas music, or seeing festive decorations. Sometimes I think people go a little overboard, with big decorations but you know what? Whatever makes them happy! My Mom was always kind of a minimalist […]
Mini Vegan Sweet Potato Pecan Sweet Rolls
This is the time of the year when I like to spend more time baking delicious things in the kitchen! I still venture outside even though it may be snowy to go for my runs, and it is kind of exhilarating to exercise in the cold air, but coming home to a warm kitchen is […]
Vegan Coconut Chocolate Chunk Pecan Tart
My Mom used to ask me to make nut tarts for nearly every Holiday a while back, and they were always a hit! They are her favorite, and they were pretty darn delicious so I was happy to make them! We made all sorts of different kinds, pecan chocolate chunk, pine nut caramel, macadamia coconut…and […]
Vegan Sweet Potato Cranberry Coffeecake
Most of us have Thanksgiving leftovers, and although you could just continue to eat them as they are and reheat them, it is fun sometimes to create new things with them! Now of course some people just make a giant sandwich and pile it high with all the fixings, but I like to totally reinvent […]
Vegan Creamed Spinach
My Mom and I were recently out to one of our favorite restaurants, one known for creatively using seasonal veggies, and she ordered the creamed spinach. She said it was really good, but of course it had dairy in it, so I couldn’t try it. But, she said “I bet you can recreate this at […]
Vegan Sweet Potato Casserole
Like any mid-western cook, my Grandma would always serve a sweet potato casserole with Thanksgiving. As much as I loved my Grandma’s cooking, it was probably my least favorite thing and I politely would just take a small spoonful. Now, I am sure some sweet potato casseroles are good, and they use real yams, but this […]
Vegan Molasses Spice Cookies
When I was younger, my Mom and I would go to the library, pick out cook books and make a few recipes that we had chosen. I had a few favorite books, most of them were dessert books, including a cookie book with over 100 recipes, and the most beautiful photos! I tried many of […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cream Cheese Pie
I can not believe how beautiful it has been here lately! It was 60F degrees yesterday, and normally it is 40. I will take it, the snow will fly here soon enough! It is Minnesota after all. So, I took full advantage yesterday, a nice 10 mile run to enjoy the beautiful morning and rising […]
Vegan Roasted Squash Black Bean Tacos Recipe with GOODFOODS Guacamole
Vegans love their avocadoes. So, it comes of no surprise that we scope out the best guacamole! Because sometimes we want to just grab it and go, not sit and scoop out avocadoes and add all of the seasonings. This is why I am happy I discovered GOODFOODS guacamole! I picked some up at Super […]
Vegan Italian Walnut Stuffed Mushrooms
From time to time, my Mom brings me veggies and asks me to make something with them for her, or to veganize a classic recipe and I am more than happy to do so! She has been trying to eat more plant based lately, and I am proud of her for that! She brought me […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cranberry Chevre
It has been beautiful here lately! Normally in November it is about 20 degrees cooler and we are all bundling up in hats and coats, but I actually am able to go out for my runs in shorts, wear t-shirts during the day, and enjoy the season! The sunsets have been awesome, and I have […]
Vegan Cheesy Squash Tots with Cranberry Chipotle Ketchup
It’s funny, growing up I was never a big fan of tater tots. Whenever they were included in my school lunches, I just left them there, because for some reason they did not appeal to me. French fries however were another story. Kind of weird for a kid or teenager I know, but that is […]
Vegan Inside Out Peanut Butter Cups
Peanut butter and chocolate have always been at the top of my list. If I had a choice of candy growing up, it was always a peanut butter cup over everything else. I am sure many of you agree, it is a match made in heaven after all! Even when I don’t have peanut butter […]
