Almond Maple Crunch Date Bark
I have been seeing everyone make all kinds of date bark on my social media so I finally decided to give it a try myself! The general idea is to lay out dates, layer things on top of them and top it off with melted chocolate. Sounded pretty dark delicious to me! A lot of […]
Vegan Almond Butter and Jelly Dark Chocolate Bars
Eric and I were recently at a candy store, and although some of the items there were vegan, the one thing that I actually wanted to buy was not, a peanut butter and jelly dark chocolate candy bar. I am always more of a chocolate candy person than just a sugar sweet candy person, so […]
Broccoli Almond Apple Slaw
I don’t know why everyone throws all of their broccoli stems away and just keeps the flowrettes, honestly the stems are the most delicious sweet part of the broccoli in my opinion! So, when I was making a big broccoli salad the other day at work and had a lot of stalks bound for the […]
Vegan Ginger Almond Butter Cookies
Fall is nearly here, and even though we have had a warm week so far I am ready for a new season and all of it’s flavors. Yes I am one of those people who loves pumpkin spice (only when used in the right applications of course), and all other warming spices like cinnamon in […]
Chocolate Almond Butter Eggs
When I was little, I think Easter candy was my favorite candy of all even above Halloween candy. I loved that you could get malted milk ball eggs, pastel colored M&Ms and giant Reese’s peanut butter eggs all in one Easter basket haul. I also loved hunting for Easter eggs filled with candy and goodies. […]
Vegan Milk Chocolate Pomegranate Raspberry Almond Butter Cups
We got 9 inches of snow in the part of Minnesota where I live last Wednesday. It was beautiful, and perfect for skiing of course but it was not so fun trying to travel to and from work in. Especially in my little compact car. I drive like a granny when conditions are like this […]
Vegan Chocolate Black Raspberry Almond Butter Cups
I know that being a runner doesn’t define me, but I still get kind of sad and feel lost when I have an injury and can’t do the thing I love. It usually takes me a few weeks to adjust, because to me, it is my therapy, and what keeps me from getting as stressed […]
Vegan Almond Butter Brownies
Almond butter has come a long way since I first had it when I was younger. Back then I thought it was some gross nut butter that was super thick and didn’t spread nicely like peanut butter did. But now most commercial brands are nice and smooth and have a nice sweet almond flavor. Like […]
Vegan White Chocolate Strawberry Almond Butter Cups
Berries and white chocolate is a simply heavenly combination! So thank goodness I am able to make vegan white chocolate at home so I can enjoy it. I admit, when I went vegan I thought I would not be able to enjoy it again since it has milk a lot of the time, and I […]
Vegan Chocolate Dipped Salted Almond Butter Cookies
When I was little, my Mom and I would bake many different types of Christmas cookies, then keep them all in a big container in the freezer to either share with others or enjoy later. There were the favorite cookies, like the pfeffernusse, classic sugar cookies, and pecan tassies. But we would always try a […]
Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cups
When it comes to Halloween candy, I have always gone for the chocolate over every other type of candy. You can have the smarties, suckers, and jolly ranchers…I was all about the Reese’s peanut butter cups, Snickers, and Milky Ways. I am still this way as an adult. Not that I buy commercial candy at […]
