Vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Pistachio Jam Bars
I am super excited for rhubarb season! We aren’t quite there yet in Minnesota. Well, maybe that is an understatement. We just cleared the snow and grass is barely beginning to grow so maybe about a month. But there is hope, it got up to 88 degrees this week, a record high for that day! […]
Date and Pistachio Halva
I was recently given some tahini with dates in it, and it was super delicious. Also, it gave me the idea to make some halva with chewy dates! I love dates, they are like nature’s caramel in fruit form. And, I also am a big halva fan, especially ones with delicious add ins you can […]
Vegan Caramel Pistachio Tart
My Mom’s Birthday is in a few days and this year she requested a caramel nut tart. Pecans are good, but you know what’s even better and prettier for spring? Pistachios! I have a funny story about them too. Back when I was in high school and I went shopping with my Mom […]
Vegan Pistachio Lemon White Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Vivapura was kind enough to send me some of their products recently to create some delicious recipes with, and one of them was Raw Pistachio Kernals. I love pistachios! When I was a kid, I used to enjoy shelling them, enjoying the fruits of my labor as I went. I can’t say as much […]
