Vegan Raspberry Rose Gelato
It has been really hot and humid here in Minnesota lately and I couldn’t think of anything more lovely than some home made cooling ice cream, so I decided to make some yesterday! Although popsicles and granitas are delicious and light, I really wanted some rich and creamy more along the lines of gelato. Like […]
Vegan Blueberry Vanilla Layer Cake
For my Birthday every year I like to bake myself a cake, this year wouldn’t be any different.

[…]
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.

Gingerbread Granola
The Christmas music everywhere has begun! Not that it is a bad thing, it gets me in the mood for the season, and I have a few songs that I really like. But then there are the over-played ones with 5 different versions of the same song that I hear over and over on the […]
40+ Vegan Valentine’s Day Desserts
Desserts are an essential part of Valentine’s Day as far as I am concerned. My first good memories of the holiday were of bringing goodies and cute little cards to school to exchange with classmates, and Grandma giving me heart shaped boxes of chocolates. I was all about the chocolate, conversation hearts were cute, but […]
Mini Avocado Lime Cream Tartlettes
I had a bag of limes on my counter just waiting to be used for something and key lime pie sounded really good, but I didn’t want to make a giant key lime pie just for myself and it seemed like maybe a lot of work for the energy level I had at the time. […]
Vegan Coconut Macadamia Carrot Cake with White Chocolate Frosting
This year for Easter, I decided to make carrot cake. How original, I know but there is nothing wrong with sticking with tradition. You know what tradition I miss? When everyone used to get all dressed up for Easter. I know some parents dress up their little kids all fancy, but I feel like the […]
Vegan Matcha Waffles
I am obsessed with matcha tea. I drink it every day at work in chilled form unadorned, and on the weekends I like to enjoy a matcha latte at a coffee shop. It is my treat lately since I usually make stuff like that at home, but I do enjoy when someone else makes it […]

Vegan Dark Chocolate Chili Truffles
My boyfriend Eric has a passion for hot peppers and spicy food. When I first met him, the first food item I ever gave him was some of my home made habanero hot sauce because I knew it would impress him. I too love spicy food, so we have that in common. There was a […]

30+ Vegan Pumpkin Desserts
The last time I carved a pumpkin was over 5 years ago. Which is kind of sad actually, because it is fun, and even though I am an adult, I still enjoy doing things like that. I am not the best at carving, and my designs always turn out a little less spectacular than I […]
