Vegan Raspberry Lavender Pie Cookies
Raspberries are my all time favorite fruit. Maybe because they are somewhat abundant here in Minnesota and I ate a lot of them as a kid. Or because they have a season limited to a couple of months here so they also seem somewhat special. Yes, you can buy them year round shipped in from […]
Cake Batter Dessert Hummus
I admit when I first heard about dessert hummus or using beans in dessert recipes I was completely skeptical. How could that possibly taste good? Would it still be beany flavored? But you know what? I am now a huge fan. I love using beans in my dessert recipes like my nut free cheesecakes, brownies […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Banana Muffins
Last weekend we took a trip up north to Duluth and we had to stop at a couple of gas stations along the way. I don’t usually pay attention to much in a gas station besides where the bathroom is on a road trip, but while I was in there some giant muffins caught my […]
Vegan Eggplant Parmesan Stacks
Growing up, I used to love eggplant parmesan. Or anything parmesan for that matter, my Mom would make chicken parmesan a lot as well. I loved the red sauce served with it and the crispy parmesan crust, the cheese and all of the good flavors of course. Surprisingly I haven’t yet tried to make a […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheesecake
I have been wanting to make a peanut butter and jelly cheesecake lately. It all started a few weeks back when I made some peanut butter and jelly ice cream, and peanut butter and jelly white chocolates and I was going to make the cake right away but I decided to wait until my Birthday! […]
Raspberry Jalapeno Limeade
We are at the point in the Summer, right around my birthday where it is really hot here. Well, I consider it really hot. With the Minnesota humidity it is just downright sticky, and you start sweating within minutes of being outside. That doesn’t stop me from going out of course. I would much rather […]
Vegan Black Raspberry Blondies
Sometimes on my runs I am in the zone and sorting out my own thoughts, and other times I pay more attention to the beautiful things in nature around me. There sure is a lot of beautiful things to enjoy lately. Like a yard full of different colors of lilies, or the animals that all […]
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dessert Hummus
I am a huge hummus fan. I know, it is a stereotype that all vegans love hummus, and I fit into it I guess. But I like to have some on hand at all times for snacking on so I make it a lot. I love the classic hummus with chickpeas as the base, and […]
Vegan White Chocolate Peanut Butter and Jelly Cups
I am a bit obsessed with peanut butter and jelly lately. I made some peanut butter and jelly ice cream last weekend, I am contemplating making a PB and J cheesecake for my Birthday in a few weeks, and I decided to make some vegan white chocolate peanut butter and jelly cups too last weekend. […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Ice Cream
It was really warm here in Minnesota last weekend. We really haven’t had any hot weather yet this year until now (we have been lucky), but now that we are almost to the 4th of July it is about time. I was day dreaming about some delicious cold ice cream on one of my runs […]
