Fragrant Vanilla Cake

Vegan Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cake with Fudge Frosting 

I hate to waste things.  So, I have little containers in my freezer a lot of the time with odds and ends like extra strawberry puree, canned pumpkin or that 1/2 can of coconut milk in a container I had leftover.  I find uses for it all too!  Sometimes it  doesn’t even make it to […]

Vegan Vanilla Maple Bourbon Apple Pie

I feel like sometimes people are a bit prejudiced against vegans.  I mean, how could you dislike someone that genuinely cares about all life so much that they won’t eat things or use things that harm animals or other creatures?  Well yes, I know a few vegans sometimes come across as too preachy and in […]

Vegan Cheesy Potato Casserole

My Mom used to make a really delicious cheesy potato casserole when I was young to serve at family gatherings. Usually brunch type occasions, like when she hosted Easter at our house, or maybe a Christmas special request from me.  I used to ask her to make it a lot because it was so good!  […]

Vegan Nutella Swirl Brownies

I saw a recipe for Nutella brownies on Pinterest, and I said to myself, “I have to veganize those!!!”  I have tons of hazelnut butter on hand, and was in a chocolate craving mood so it was perfect!  I never buy actual real Nutella anymore because it is not vegan and contains mostly sugar and […]

Vegan Peppermint Patties

Peppermint patties are completely unique when it comes to Halloween candy. Unless you count the red and white after dinner hard candy peppermints your Grandma gave out when unexpected trick or treaters came by, they are pretty much the only minty candy out there (that I am aware of).  I admit they weren’t usually my […]

Rustic Fall Root Vegetable Tart

Fall is at it’s peak of beauty right now here in Minnesota.  The leaves are all painted in warm hues, and fluttering to the ground.  But it hasn’t gotten cold yet, so it is the perfect weather to go walking and enjoy the view, and listen to the crunch of the leaves beneath your feet.  […]

Vegan Cardamom Pear Almond “Cream Cheese” Pie

Back when I was in college, one of my favorite things ever was roasted pears.  It might not sound that exciting, but boy were they ever good!  I know most people choose apples over pears for things like pies and roasting, but the sweet pears tasted amazing once baked to spiced caramelized perfection.  I have […]

30+ Vegan Pumpkin Desserts

The last time I carved a pumpkin was over 5 years ago. Which is kind of sad actually, because it is fun, and even though I am an adult, I still enjoy doing things like that.  I am not the best at carving, and my designs always turn out a little less spectacular than I […]

Vegan Caramel Apple Pancakes

As far as I am concerned, last weekend was the perfect Fall weekend here in Minnesota.  Cool and 40F degrees in the AM, which is perfect for running through the crunchy leaves (one of my favorite parts of fall), and 70F degrees and sunny in the afternoon, which is ideal weather for visiting the local […]

Vegan Pumpkin Tiramisu

I have been wanting to make pumpkin tiramisu for years now, and this last weekend I finally made some! I was always a fan of the traditional tiramisu (even though I don’t drink coffee), and since people are obsessed with pumpkin spice lattes I figured pumpkin tiramisu would be amazing.  I have never actually had […]

Vegan Nutella Truffles

I used to think Nutella was pretty awesome when I was little.  I mean, I could eat chocolate on toast for breakfast and it was considered ok.  When I made a trip to Europe with my French class in high school, I ate nutella on baguettes or croissants every day.  What’s not to love about […]

Vegan Roasted Squash Garlic Nacho Cheese

There was a point in time I ate so much squash that my skin started to turn slightly orange hued.  I try to vary my diet a little more now, but maybe I am still a little orange since all year round I am eating squash, sweet potatoes and carrots at least once a day.  […]

Vegan Pumpkin Patch Coffeecake

When I was little, my Mom found this delicious Fall coffeecake recipe in the local newspaper, and she made it her own by adding oats to the topping, extra spices and swapping out a portion of the oil with more pumpkin.  I always looked forward to it, it was so good!  Like something that you […]

25 Vegan Apple Dessert Recipes

I love apple season!  It means that Fall is officially here, and the leaves are starting to turn colors on the trees, the air is getting chilly, and it is time to bake delicious apple pies. I love a good apple pie served warm with some coconut ice cream, it is so cozy and comforting.  […]
