Vegan Dark Chocolate Mini Bundt Cakes
Last week was really kind of stressful for me, between being super short handed at work, and just being super busy. I felt like I was just mentally tired, physically tired, emotionally tired and I needed a hot bath, and a glass of wine, and a massage, and to sit and watch movies, or maybe […]
Vegan Blueberry Pop-Tarts
Pop-tarts were all the rage when I was little. I remember a few of my friends bringing them to school for a snack every morning, and begging my Mom to get some. My Mom let me get some, but I wasn’t allowed to have too many, because she tried to get me to eat healthier. […]
Vegan Cheesy Hasselback Potatoes
Monday was kind of a rainy dreary day here in Minnesota. Everyone was excited about the lunar eclipse taking place, but it ended up being covered by clouds. Eric and I were hoping to see it, but instead we went out for a walk with our umbrellas. It was one of those days where the […]
Vegan Spice Crusted Chevre
Before I went vegan, I used to buy tubs of local chevre at the co op all the time. It was mild, slightly tangy (without being goaty) and delicious. I would top salads off with it, eat it with fruit for dessert, or spread it on toast. It was a staple. So, of course I […]
Creamy Vegan Mac and Cheese (GF)
I loved anything with cheese when I was little. Grilled cheese, mac and cheese, cheesecake. I mean cheese was delicious. I begged my Mom to make mac and cheese a lot, and what I liked was the boxed variety. We always had some on hand, but what we didn’t usually have on hand was milk. […]
Vegan Strawberry Shortcake Poke Cake
I have seen poke cakes on Pinterest and Facebook but I have never actually made one or tried one myself. Probably since most of them are made from boxed mixes and jello or already prepared ingredients and I prefer to do things myself. But I decided last weekend to make one, since I had lots […]
Chocolate Covered Cherry Ice Cream Pops
The truth is I hated chocolate covered cherries growing up. You know, the ones that ooze sweet syrupy white goo when you bite into them, and a cherry so red it can’t possibly be the real color? My Grandma would give us kids each a big box of chocolates on Holidays, and I always tried […]
Vegan Triple Chocolate Brownies
Brownies remind me of good times and happy memories. They remind me of cross country banquets in high school that I used to bake them for, or late night baking with my friend up at camp, or that one time my Mom baked them and the cat decided that she wanted some too and licked […]
Vegan Blueberry Maple Pecan Shortcakes
I used to love strawberry shortcake as a kid. Of course it was usually the store bought sponge type cake ones with the strawberries in sugar and Cool Whip at my house. But it was awesome to my 8 year old self. I had never actually tried a strawberry shortcake with biscuits until I was […]
Vegan Maple Bourbon Caramel, Fudge and Bacon Ice Cream Sundae
I always see these outrageous ice cream sundaes full of decadent ingredients on Instagram and Pinterest, so I was inspired to make my own. I have always loved the idea of a Sundae. I would have a small mudslide sundae at Dairy Queen when I was little, and I thought it was the bomb. That […]
Summer Watermelon and “Chevre” Salad
There used to be this fabulous watermelon and mozzarella salad at a restaurant my Mom and I would go to often when I was younger and it was super delicious. I hadn’t thought about it since then, but then recently my Mom made a salad for a party for one of her friends that was […]
Vegan Cream Cheese Plum Galette
I love making (and eating mostly) fruit pies, but I am also lazy at times. Don’t get me wrong, I am a really hard worker when it comes to running, or work or things I said I would do for other people, but when it comes to pie, and it is a weeknight, I will […]
