Vegan Black Tahini Cookies
I love tahini. I love it in hummus, or for just drizzling on my salads, or eating with a spoon. What I really love it in though, is desserts! It may sound odd using it in a dessert, but halva is a dessert and it is delicious! It has a flavor similar to peanut butter […]
Vegan Tahini Date Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream
Last week was definitely a week for ice cream! It was hot and humid every day, and in the 90s and I felt like I was sweating all day from working out in the morning, being hot in the kitchen at work and driving home in a hot car. So I decided some ice cream […]
Vegan Tahini Chocolate Cake
I am a big fan of tahini. It is good in savory applications like hummus, dressing and sauces, but it is equally good in desserts. I had bought a bunch of tahini for making halva, and decided that a chocolate and tahini dessert will be amazing. What I decided on was a Vegan Tahini Chocolate […]
Coffee Chocolate Halva
Halva is something I make every so often when I am craving candy or something sweet. I first enjoyed some at a place local to me that makes it in all kinds of amazing flavors, then decided to try making my own, because I wanted to make fun flavors too! Sometimes I make it with […]
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 Black Sesame Maple Ice Cream
I am a big tahini lover, I like to keep some on hand at all times for recipes both sweet and savory, or just for drizzling over things and snacking on. We have a giant tub of it in the deli I work in for making things like hummus, and one time my coworker stated […]
Tahini Lemon Broccoli Pasta
I know a lot of people are ordering takeout with the whole Coronavirus going on, but that hasn’t been the case with me. We usually do takeout instead of delivery if we are going to do something like that, but only for a special occasion like my Mom’s birthday coming up, since we can’t go […]
Air Fried Spicy Crispy Broccoli with Lemon Tahini Sauce
The first thing I made in my air fryer back when I got it for Christmas was crispy breaded cauliflower. I had been ordering cauliflower “wings” at a few vegan restaurants a lot before that and I wanted those amazing crispy wings at home but without the deep frying of course so the air fryer […]
Salted Caramel Tahini Fudge
Back in the day when I was in high school, my Mom used to take me to this natural foods restaurant (you know, the type that had oats milk ice cream, carob cookies, and fresh squeezed juices) which I wasn’t used to back then because there wasn’t a lot of at the time. They had […]
Autumn Apple Fig Salad with Lemon Maple Tahini Dressing
I still haven’t been to an apple orchard yet this year. Maybe next weekend. But I have bought some amazing local apples at the grocery store. The Honeycrisp apples are still my favorite. The local ones are the best though, and taste slightly different than the ones that are flown in from elsewhere. Not only […]
Vegan Chocolate Drizzled Tahini Cookies
You may think of tahini as something that you add to hummus, or make dressing out of. But did you know it is really good in desserts too? I am not just talking about halva (a tahini candy popular in the Middle East). I mean adding it to actual desserts for richness in place of […]
