Sweet and Spicy Roasted Brussels Sprouts
One of my all time favorite items to make in the Fall is roasted brussels sprouts. They are like savory candy honestly. Tender on the inside, crispy and salty on the outside…sooo good! I make them all the time at work with just a little olive oil and sea salt and they are amazing. I […]
Baked Stuffed Apples with Cinnamon Ice Cream
Apple pie may be the most popular apple dessert, but you know what else is delicious? Baked apples. Not only that, they are a little bit lighter option with all of the same delicious apple flavor. There was a time back in my early 20s that I made baked apples and pears all the time […]
Vegan Chocolate Covered Raisin Oatmeal Cookies
There is always the age old debate when it comes to classic oatmeal cookies. You have the chocolate chip side and the raisin side. I find that most people hate one but love the other. The deli I work in makes both, and I find that the oatmeal chocolate chip tend to go faster than […]
Vegan Chai Spiced Pear Cakes with Hazelnut Chocolate Glaze
So far Fall in Minnesota has been a rather chilly rainy one, the temperatures in the 30s and 40s most days with rain for 2 weeks straight it felt like until this week so we have all been bundling up. But finally we got a few lovely dry days in the 60s. This is the […]
Poison Apple Martini
I have been craving some apple cider lately, so when I saw some honeycrisp apple cider at Trader Joes for a good price I had to get some. The most important thing for me when it comes to store bought cider is that it has one ingredient, apples of course. This one fit that requirement, […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Waffles
When I do recipe experiments, they don’t always turn out perfect. In fact sometimes they are fantastic flops. Like when I tried to make pumpkin waffles about a month ago. I was all excited to make them, and the batter looked good and all but turned out that it was way to sticky and it […]
DIY Vegan Halloween Candy Recipes
When I was little, I loved dressing up for Halloween. I think I was a cat the most, since that was always my favorite animal. I wasn’t very imaginative when it came to costumes. I also enjoyed the candy. I mean, who didn’t as a child?! My friends and I would always dump out or […]
Vegan Birthday Cake Popcorn
Nothing compares to vanilla Birthday cake as far as I am concerned. I used to love the boxed funfetti cake mix stuff when I was little, until I started baking my own desserts but then nothing compared to the home made. I went through a phase in my early twenties when I baked quite a […]
Vegan Maple Pecan Scones
The deli I work in makes the most delicious smelling scones. I say delicious smelling because I have never actually tasted them since they aren’t vegan. I don’t actually bake at work, surprising I know considering my blog. But it keeps making desserts and baked goods enjoyable to me. I am the one who makes […]
Autumn Apple Fig Salad with Lemon Maple Tahini Dressing
I still haven’t been to an apple orchard yet this year. Maybe next weekend. But I have bought some amazing local apples at the grocery store. The Honeycrisp apples are still my favorite. The local ones are the best though, and taste slightly different than the ones that are flown in from elsewhere. Not only […]
Vegan Macadamia Nut Cheesecake Brownies
I have always considered macadamia nuts as kind of special. They are more rich and buttery than other nuts, a little bit more spendy most of the time since they have to grow 7 years before they are harvested and are really hard to crack. But for special occasions they are so good! I have […]
Vegan Chocolate Coffee Hazelnut Butter Cookies
When I was little I loved Nutella. I mostly just spread it on toast and thought I was having dessert for breakfast. I mean how else could I get away with just eating chocolate for breakfast?! When I took a trip to Europe in high school, when we were in France I ate Nutella on […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Truffles
This is the time of year when I always keep canned pumpkin on hand. It is so useful. You can make pancakes, or cake, or pumpkin spice overnight oats, or make a pasta sauce etc. All of which require partial cans, so inevitably I am left with some to use up in another recipe. I […]
