Double Chocolate Strawberry Pistachio Bars
I love making my own candy! So last weekend when I was craving something chocolaty, I decided to do just that! I wanted something with strawberries since it is strawberry season and I’ve really been enjoying them lately. So I made some Vegan Double Chocolate Strawberry Pistachio Bars! They have white chocolate, dark chocolate, […]
Strawberry Basil Foccacia
I love foccacia bread! It is always so delicious and it is fairly easy to make. I love it served with soup, salad or just for snacking! Although I have only ever made simple foccacia usually just with herbs and garlic or just plain, I see lots of them made topped with veggies, so I […]
Vegan Vanilla Strawberry Lavender Short Bread
I love shortbread, the buttery melt in your mouth texture, the fact that it can be flavored with many different things depending on what you are in the mood for and the fact that it goes wonderful with coffee for a mid-morning pick me up! Last weekend I decided to make some shortbread and I […]
Vegan Strawberry Dark Chocolate Bars
I keep seeing ads for delicious looking vegan chocolate bars, and it is so tempting to buy some. I saw some really good looking white chocolate ones with flavors. But what I was really craving was something with a vegan strawberry white chocolate combined with dark chocolate so I decided to make my own. […]
Vegan Strawberry Shortcake French Toast Casserole
I always loved french toast as a kid. It was sweet and delicious and it always seemed like a treat! Sweet breakfast to me has always seemed like dessert, even if it is what a lot of people typically eat. And I still feel that way! So often times when I make breakfast items […]
Vegan Berry Swirl Bread
I am so ready for spring! It felt like Spring here in Minnesota for about a week with temperatures in the high 30s and 40s and the snow was melting. So I spent as much time outside as possible when I could and dreamed about actual spring and decided that making something with strawberries sounded […]
Vegan Strawberry Sweet Rolls
Spring has arrived in full force, the trees are blossoming, the grass is vibrant green, and the birds are singing. I love it! And, I am inspired to make desserts that have spring ingredients, like these Vegan Strawberry Sweet Rolls! Minnesota strawberries won’t be here for a little while, they are in their flowering stage, […]
Vegan Mini Strawberry Cakes
I am sooo ready for spring! We are getting little glimpses of it here in Minnesota in between the really cold days, but I can’t wait until all of the snow melts and we have green plants outside again, especially towards the end of spring when early strawberries are in season! It will be a […]
Vegan Strawberry Cobbler with Vanilla Pecan Biscuits
I feel like it has been forever since I made a baked fruit dessert. Maybe since last year in fact! I have been busy getting ready to move, so I haven’t done much baking lately but when I had some extra time this week I wanted to make something baked that involved strawberries! I thought […]
Vegan Strawberries and Cream Sandwich Cookies
I am all about the strawberries lately! I got some organic ones for a good price at the store so I have been enjoying those, and Eric’s Dad sent us some amazing strawberry jam that he makes, so I have been making things with that! Like these strawberries and cream sandwich cookies! There was a […]
Vegan White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Pie
When I was little, there was this strawberry silk pie from Baker’s Square that they would have around Valentine’s Day that I just loved. My Dad had gotten one a few times and it was sooo good! It had a creamy strawberry layer, plenty of whipped cream on top, and pink white chocolate curls. I […]
Vegan Chocolate Strawberry Cake
I haven’t made an actual layer cake in a while, so when I was craving chocolate cake this week, I decided to go for it. They are a little more work than other cakes, and I am a busy person, so when I have time to make one, it is usually a relaxing day to […]
Vegan Strawberry Shortcakes
If you grew up in the 80s or early 90s, then you probably remember Strawberry Shortcake. I loved strawberry shortcake. In fact, I wished I could be her at one point, living in a giant strawberry with my pets and baking things. I had the strawberry shortcake movie when I was little and I would […]
Vegan Strawberry Cream Cheese
My Mom recently wanted me to try some vegan strawberry cream cheese that she had bought, because it was from a brand that had really good vegan ricotta that we both liked. I tried the cream cheese, but I thought it was just ok. It had kind of a weird aftertaste, and not enough strawberry […]
Vegan Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
When I am out running, often times I do my best thinking. It could be working out a problem in my head, thinking of the possible options to fix it, thinking up possible art projects, or many times it is ideas for recipes. That was how I came up with the chocolate dipped cheesecake stuffed […]
Vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
Every year I look forward to strawberry rhubarb season. Ever since I was a little kid and I would eat my Grandma’s home made strawberry rhubarb sauce by the bowlful and finish off the 2 lb jars she would make in no time. She always had a bunch of rhubarb growing behind her garage so […]
Vegan Strawberries and Cream Mini Loaf Cakes
I was planning on making something strawberry rhubarb last weekend but I wasn’t able to get rhubarb, so I just went with the strawberry instead! I wanted to make something I hadn’t made before, so I decided on a loaf cake. I don’t usually make them, since a lot of times I want cakes with […]
Vegan Strawberry Pop-Tarts
I was kind of a picky eater when I was little when it came to normal quick breakfast foods. I didn’t like cereal or milk, I didn’t like oatmeal (which is funny because now, that is what I eat, and I have done so for the last 15 years), and I wasn’t much for regular […]
Strawberry Peach Avocado Quinoa Salad
We have a quinoa salad in the deli I work in that has Summer fruits in it and it is pretty popular. You wouldn’t think that quinoa and fruit would be a pair unless it was a breakfast quinoa or something but it actually really works as a savory salad! I actually have made quite […]
Vegan Strawberry Peach Crisp
There was a time a few years back (well more like 10 years back) that I made fruit crisps every weekend. I mean, they are healthy, delicious and really easy to make. Yes, I love things like cheesecake and pie but they are a little more work to make, and crisp is a little lighter […]
Vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
When I was little, my Mom and I used to go to this local 50s style diner restaurant that had the best strawberry rhubarb pie. It was amazing. The perfect balance of tart and sweet, with plenty of jammy filling and a flaky crust. I have had plenty of other ones that were just sub […]
Vegan Strawberry Jalapeno Gelato
Although I have my favorite ice cream flavors that I make again and again, I will never tire of coming up with new ones. I have over 100 ice cream recipes on my blog already but why stop there? Keeps it interesting for me at least. Once you get your own ice cream maker, it […]
Chocolate Dipped Key Lime Pie Stuffed Strawberries
Key lime pie has always been one of my favorite Summer desserts. It has to be the good kind though, plenty of tart lime and not too sweet. When I was little, my Mom and I found the perfect recipe for it that was the perfect balance, and it always tasted amazing. Especially on a […]
Vegan Strawberry Lemonade Truffles
It was 90F+ degrees last weekend here in Minnesota. Which is pretty odd for this time of the year. You usually don’t get a bunch of days like that until June or July. But it feels like July! It was character building for my Sunday morning run. I really appreciated any trees to provide shade, […]
Vegan Strawberry Lemon Cream Cheese Galette
It is the little things in life that make me happy. For instance, when I went out for a run on Friday I was a bit tired and sluggish, but my spirits were quickly lifted. The lilacs were starting to bloom. Let me tell you, that is one of my favorite times of the […]
Vegan Berry Chocolate Chip Cookies
They make giant batches of chocolate chip cookie dough at the deli I work in. Much larger batches than the rest of the cookies, because they are the most popular and they fly out of the store. I always see that big bowl of cookie dough, then want my own, and occasionally I will go […]
Vegan Strawberry Shortcake Poke Cake
I have seen poke cakes on Pinterest and Facebook but I have never actually made one or tried one myself. Probably since most of them are made from boxed mixes and jello or already prepared ingredients and I prefer to do things myself. But I decided last weekend to make one, since I had lots […]
Cherry Berry Quinoa Salad with “Chevre”
I have been eating more quinoa lately than I used to. It stems from trying to eat a variety of vegan protein sources instead of my usual few in my meals (tofu, tempeh, garbanzo beans, lentils). Plus, quinoa makes a great salad and that is usually how I enjoy it. I can make a big […]
20 Delicious Vegan Strawberries and Rhubarb Desserts!
One of my favorite things about Spring besides the beautiful flowers and grass becoming green is the strawberries and rhubarb that are available. It is one of my all time favorite flavor combinations, and something I have been enjoying for as long as I can remember when my Grandma made strawberry rhubarb sauce during the […]
Vegan Strawberries and Cream Pie
I used to love Strawberry Shortcake as a child. I am talking about the girl Strawberry Shortcake, not the dessert. The one that was popular in the 1980s and early 90s when I was little. She had it all as far as I was concerned. She was cute, she lived in a cute little […]
Vegan Strawberries and Cream Layer Cake
I am so ready for all things Spring. Like, bye bye cold weather, and hello Sunshine and 60 degrees, tulips blooming and green grass and leaves on trees. Not that we haven’t had a mild Winter this year, but it is my least favorite season. Another thing I am excited about is the Spring produce. […]
Vegan Strawberries and Cream Popcorn
Strawberries are finally in season here, so I have been a little obsessed with them lately. Strawberries and rhubarb of course, but strawberries on their own are pretty sweetly satisfying too. Someone was telling me about some Mango popcorn at a local store, and I thought to myself, I want strawberry popcorn. It was going […]
Mini Strawberry White Chocolate Layer Cake
Sometimes I just feel like making a pink girly dessert. Maybe it is the five year old in me that forever wants to wear sparkles and pink. So what if I am 30 I think that way sometimes. So, I decided last weekend I was in that sort of mood and wanted a pink cake. […]
Raw Strawberry White Chocolate Cheesecake
Happy first full official day of Spring! I am so ready for it, and even though it doesn’t feel like Spring yet, I am using it as an excuse to wear my cute Spring clothes and eat Spring like desserts. I even got some beautiful Tulips from Eric which was awesome since I won’t be […]
Vegan Nectarine Strawberry Lavender Almond Cobble Pie
Lately I am trying to always see the positive in things. I was working on it yesterday on my run when it was very hot and sticky (it has been hitting 90 the last few days here), and I was feeling pretty miserable. Yes it was hot, but I had so many good things […]
Vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Mini Pies with Lemon Crust
I had tons of strawberries and tons of rhubarb on hand last weekend, and I had a serious craving for strawberry rhubarb pie. So I had to make some. Strawberry rhubarb pie has been a favorite of mine ever since I had it in a diner with my Mom when I was about 5. That […]
Raw Strawberries and Cream Truffles
We have all had one of those days. You know, the ones where you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, repeatedly drop things, ruin things…like spilling something that stains on your favorite pair of shoes or burn a huge pot of soup and have to throw it out. Or have to face rude […]
Raw Strawberries and Cream Doughnuts
I have been all about the strawberries lately. Mostly because I have been missing them all winter and suddenly they reappear looking so delicious and begging me to buy them and make something delicious with them. I was going to make some strawberries and cream scones last week with some, but that didn’t work out because […]
Raw Strawberry Lemon Chia Seed Granola
I sometimes tend to get weird looks when I tell people about a dream of mine, or an idea I have for something I want to create. Maybe that would bother most people, but not me. After all, no one who created anything great ever thought inside the box, and inside the box thinking is not […]
