Eric and I have bought a lot of mochi, my favorite flavors so far were the red bean filled and matcha. But there was also a delicious ube mochi that was pretty bomb. You have to read ingredients of course, because some are not vegan (especially a lot of the ice cream ones, but this […]

Vegan Pecan Brownies
Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to brownies. Some like the corners, some like the middle pieces, some like a fluffier less dense brownie, and some like it to be super fudgy. When it comes to a brownie, the fudgier the better as far as I am concerned, I am not a cakey […]
Strawberry Pistachio Almond Halva

Key Lime Sugar Cookies
I had some limes leftover from making a key lime pie recently so I was trying to come up with something delicious to make with them.

Valentine’s Day is about a month away, so I figured why not make some candy! Not that I didn’t make candy for Christmas, but there is a candy for every season right?

Vegan Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies
Salted caramel anything is amazing as far as I am concerned. There is just something about that balance between the saltiness and the caramel that I love.
