Vegan German Chocolate Cookies
A lot of times when I decide to make things, it is on a whim. That was how it was last Friday when I decided to bake a batch of cookies. I have been on a cookie baking kick lately, not sure why since cookies were never my favorite dessert in the past, but they […]
Raw Carrot Chevre Flatbreads
I find inspiration for delicious things to create from many different places. Often times, I will see something on pinterest, or in a magazine and I will think to myself, I can veganize that! Or, those flavors would be wonderful together in something completely different. Well I recently was out to dinner with my family […]
Raw Dark Chocolate Glazed Coconut Almond Doughnuts
I realized last week it had been far too long since I had made raw doughnuts. I needed to remedy that. I haven’t had a real doughnut in probably 12 years, and I haven’t missed them because I know I can make some pretty amazingly delicious healthier doughnuts. I was never a fan of how […]
Raw Marble Cake Batter Nut Butter
I am always experimenting with new flavors of nut butters. Sometimes I keep them simple and sometimes, I like to play it a little sweet and dessert like. This is because I think the right sweet nut butter is wonderful drizzled over some bananas for dessert, or over a smoothie bowl as an extra treat […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Blood Orange Layer Cake (gluten free)
Last Saturday on Valentine’s Day, Eric and I decided to take a trip to the Minneapolis Institute of the Arts for a date. I had planned on going for a nice walk outdoors somewhere, and as it worked out, Mother Nature did not cooperate and it was about 5F degrees that day. So, the art […]
Spicy Peanut Slaw with Edamame
Although I tend to spend a lot of time on my desserts, I tend to keep my dinners fairly simple. This might be because I spend my days at work in a deli making lots of savories such as soups and salads, and I get enough savory creating action. Or, it may be because I […]
Vegan White Mulberry Date Pecan Oatmeal Cookies
In the deli I work in, I happen to work in the best part of the kitchen as far as I am concerned. You see, my work station is right next to the baked goods cooling rack. Let me tell you, Jimmy John’s “free smells” have got nothing on our deli treats that come out […]
Mini Raw White Mulberry Caramel Tartlette for Two
Vivapura recently sent me some white mulberries to try, and ever since then I have been in love with them. They have a wonderful caramel flavor that you would not expect from a berry, and therefore I have been using them in recipes that pair well with caramel such as in my Raw Mulberry Pecan Crunch […]
Raw Chocolate Maca Almond Butter Cookies
Sprout Living recently sent me some of their protein powders to try, and I have to say they are some of the best protein powders I have tasted. If you have not heard of Sprout Living, you check them out, their protein powders are raw, non GMO, gluten free, made with whole foods, and vegan. […]
Vegan Matcha Pear White Chocolate Layer Cake (gluten free)
I love everything about matcha. Its earthy aroma and flavor, its beautiful green color, and how wonderful it goes with sweet things. Although I am perfectly happy with my matcha lattes, I am a big fan of allowing it to be the star in other things as well. Some of my favorite things to pair […]
Vegan Raspberry Pomegranate Oat Waffles
You know what I think is sexy? Staying home and enjoying a meal together for Valentine’s Day. Because going out that day is often over priced and over rated. At least as far as my experience goes. Plus being able to spend alone time together for dinner and be able to hear yourself talk with […]
Raw Neapolitan Cheesecake, Blogaversary and a Giveaway!
4 years ago today I posted my first recipe on this blog. It was a red velvet cupcake recipe featuring beets, and it was not plant based at all because I had used cream cheese frosting and I had taken a single photo of the cupcakes with the worst lighting possible. But I was proud […]
Vegan Double Cookie Dough Blizzard and Zimt Artisan Chocolate Giveaway!
Emma over at Zimt Artisan Chocolates was kind enough to send me a few samples to try. Dark Chocolate Baking Pieces, which I made some Vegan Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cupcakes with, as well as some Double Chocolate Macaroons, and Cookie Dough Cups. They were all amazing! If you have never checked out Emma’s […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chunk Cupcakes
Emma over at Zimt Artisan Chocolates was kind enough to send me a bunch of products to try, one of which was dark chocolate baking pieces. I know they are called baking pieces, but seriously these are great for snacking on just as is. But since I wanted to try them in a recipe as well, […]
