Carrot Lime Margarita
I have always been a fan of fresh carrot juice. When I got my juicer, it was the first thing we made with it, and honestly it almost tastes sweet like dessert if you get really good fresh carrots. Add in a little lime or lemon to balance out the sweet and it is bomb! […]
Vegan French Silk Pie
When I was little, French silk pie was one of my favorite things ever. Luscious mousse like chocolate filling covered in fluffy whipped cream and chocolate it was heavenly! And, at that point in my life I would always choose a cream pie over a fruit one any day. They are about equal now, but […]
Vegan Chocolate Covered Caramel Eggs
When I was little, caramel was one of my all time favorite things in the world. When I would get a box of chocolates from my Grandma on holidays, I would always seek out the little square caramels first, because I knew they would always be sweet and delicious, whereas the other ones were hit […]
Vegan Berry Chocolate Chip Cookies
They make giant batches of chocolate chip cookie dough at the deli I work in. Much larger batches than the rest of the cookies, because they are the most popular and they fly out of the store. I always see that big bowl of cookie dough, then want my own, and occasionally I will go […]
Vegan Carrot Cake Scones
The arrival of Spring has me in the mood for carrot cake. Because to me, it is the quintessential Spring dessert. I mean, it is perfect for Easter celebrations, and carrots first come into season this time of the year (well not for a while in Minnesota, but in other parts of the country). I […]
Vegan Lemon White Chocolate Truffle Eggs
When I was little, whenever I would go shopping with my Mom at the mall, we would always stop by the candy counter in one of the stores and buy a couple of truffles to enjoy. There were so many delicious options, but the ones that we found ourselves drawn to time and time again […]
Spring Confetti Popcorn
I am sooo ready for Spring! The robins and ducks are back, the snow is melting quickly, and I have seen some pussy willows. I have put away my Winter boots, and I am wearing my Spring clothes (even if it is still a little chilly darn it). No more layer upon layer of jackets […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie
I think banana cream pie is an under rated dessert. I mean, apple pie, pumpkin pie and key lime pie get all of the attention. Don’t get me wrong, I love all of those pies, and I love pie in general but banana cream pie is bomb, and I don’t see it around very often. […]
Mint Chocolate Chip Dessert Hummus
Dessert hummus is everywhere lately. It is actually a pretty awesome thing to make, because you can enjoy something that tastes like dessert but get some protein and fiber from the chickpeas at the same time. Plus the chickpeas serve as a blank palate for any flavors you want to give them. I have used […]
Vegan Garlic White Cheddar “Bacon” Mac and Cheese
Two of the biggest excuses that people use for not going vegan, or eating plant based are…cheese, and bacon. “But I could never go without my cheese!” that was me when I was vegetarian. “But bacon is so good!” I hear everyone say when I tell them that I am vegan. Well, guess what? I […]
Vegan Samoa Cookies
I was never a Girl Scout. I was in other things when I was younger like dance, choir and a group at church called Pioneer Girls instead. But my family still always bought Girl Scout cookies, because I had friends that were Girl Scouts. I anxiously awaited those cookies every year. I loved the Tag […]
Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Scones
In the deli I work in, they make a lot of baked goods. My work station is right next to the cooling rack, so I get to enjoy the aroma of freshly baked sweets all day long, and I admit it is certainly a mood booster. Happy smells. That is why I love baking so […]
