Vegan Dark Chocolate Raspberry Brownies
I am in a chocolate mood lately. So on my day off last weekend I decided that some brownie baking was in order. The weather was pretty chilly so I didn’t feel like spending much time outside, so it was the perfect time to be a kitchen hermit. By that I mean spending most of […]
Vegan Double Chocolate Cheesecake (Nut Free)
Since that nut free Vanilla Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake I made last weekend turned out so good, I decided that this weekend I needed to make a chocolate one for all of you chocolate lovers out there. You know who you are, the people who can never resist anything chocolate, and always choose it over vanilla. […]
Caramelized Onion Hummus
Sadly last weekend my favorite team, the Minnesota Vikings lost their chance at getting to the Super Bowl. Now, that may not seem like such a big deal to most, but of course we are hosting the Super Bowl here in Minnesota this year, so it would have been cool to have a team finally […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Hearts
When it came to Valentine’s Day candy when I was little, hands down the Reese’s peanut butter hearts were my favorite. You know, the giant ones that were almost the size of a candy bar, not just the little fun sized ones. I always hoped to get those from my Grandma, who would every year […]
Vegan Raspberry Swirled Vanilla Cheesecake (Nut Free)
I have probably made over 200 cheesecakes since I started to love them at a young age. I enjoyed them as a kid, but I never ate them very often because they were for special occasions in my family. Then by the time I was in college, I was buying a slice at a local […]
Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Jam Cups
I am in a chocolate making mood lately. Probably because Valentine’s day is coming up, and I want to be able to give some as gifts, and enjoy some for myself. So lots of chocolate goodies are essential. I know people like to buy boxes of chocolates to give their significant others, but I like […]
Vegan Fig Almond Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
I was gifted a few bags of dried figs, and I decided that I wanted to make something delicious with them. I could have just snacked on them of course, and I did with some, but they deserved to be used in something exciting. I thought about it all day at work. Maybe some fig […]
Vegan Vanilla Sprinkles Cupcakes
Sprinkles have always made me smile. On cupcakes, on doughnuts, on cookies…they are just so adorable and when I was little the little colored balls caught my attention every time. They were a must for most of my Birthday cakes growing up, and I remember begging my Dad to buy me and my friend a […]
Vegan Rose White Chocolate Hearts
It feels downright balmy here in Minnesota with a 32F degree temperature! That is because it has been in the below zero temps lately or just single digits. Funny how in the Fall we think 32 is cold after having Summer temperatures, and now it is warm. Well, I am embracing it and getting out […]
Chocolate Cake Batter Dessert Hummus
Like any good vegan, I love hummus. For years, I have been making different kinds of hummus to have on hand. It is something that always has to be in my refrigerator. A lot of times, I like to add different veggies to it, to make it more flavorful or colorful, but also to add […]
Vegan PB & J Cupcakes
I make a dessert every weekend, it is just a thing I do. Not something simple like cookies, usually a cake, or a pie, or cheesecake. Something worth getting super excited over. Not that cookies are not exciting, but they just don’t get me going like cakes and pies do. I usually come up with […]
Basil Almond Roasted Tofu and Veggies and Pop and Cook: My New Favorite Cooking Secret!
There has been a big chill in the air here lately, and I am craving savory, warming vegan comfort food. A few nights back, I made delicious Basil Almond Roasted Tofu and Veggies, a new recipe experiment featuring Pop and Cook, which I discovered it at my local Walmart in the frozen vegetable section. It […]
Vegan Spicy Sweet Potato Tots with Cilantro Avocado Dipping Sauce
Minnesotans love their tater tots. I mean, we have a whole hot dish featuring them and named after them. So, why didn’t I love them as a child like everyone else? I don’t know. Maybe because they were always served in school lunches, and the first time I tried them they were soaked in the […]
Veggie Filled Tempeh Fried Rice
I was given an Instant Pot for Christmas, and I was pretty excited about it. Before this year, I have never really thought about using a pressure cooker, but I had been seeing a bunch of my friends cooking things in them and posting photos on Instagram and Facebook and it got me interested. I […]
Vegan Banana’s Foster Cake
I wanted something spectacular for my New Years dessert this year. I just made cupcakes for Christmas instead of a layer cake, and although they were really delicious, they just don’t have the same pizzazz that a layer cake does. I thought about going seasonal, and making something snow related, you know, like a white […]
