Vegan Blackberry Almond Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies
When we visited Eric’s Dad last month, he gave us a bunch of his amazing jam. It is seriously some of the best jam I have ever tasted, made from local fruit he picks in his town in Michigan, and from his own garden. I love it plain or on toast, but it also inspired […]
Vegan Blackberry Vanilla Cream Tart
My Mom used to make these amazing fruit tarts with a cream cheese filling and fresh fruit topping, usually berries in the Summer. They were so delicious! I think that was one of my favorite desserts growing up, and I would never turn one down. Not that I ever turned down a dessert. But berries […]
Mini Vegan Vanilla Blackberry Cheesecakes
It was beautiful here in Minnesota last weekend! The sun was shining, it was warm enough for summer clothes and sandals and I even noticed some flowers starting to bloom when I was out for my walk with Eric. I feel like Spring is here and in full swing! I love this time of the […]
Berries and Beets Quinoa Salad with “Chevre”

Vegan Blackberry Chocolate Chip Coffeecake

Raw Blackberry Jam and Hazelnut Butter Cups
When I was little, my Mom and I used to go to this little shop that sold blackberry jam filled chocolates. They were always so good. Blackberries seemed exotic to me at that age, since they were less common than strawberries and raspberries. So, they were special. I hadn’t really thought about them until recently […]
Vegan Peach and Blackberry Cobbler with Pecan Biscuits
Eric calls me kitty because he thinks I act like a cat. Including hating getting wet. I am not much of a swimmer and I can’t stand getting rained on and wearing soaked clothes. So, I surprised myself last week and actually enjoyed getting rained on while running. It was not raining when I started, […]
