Spring Asparagus Slaw
I had leftover asparagus because I ended up buying more than I needed for an Easter pasta dish I made, so I thought I would make another meal with it. I am pretty excited that asparagus is available again, so I don’t mind having it a few times in a row. I had made a […]
Vegan High Protein Almond Butter Oatmeal Cookies
When I was younger, my Mom always justified eating oatmeal cookies by the fact that they have oatmeal in them. “They are healthy, and they have fiber.” She said. Well, she is right, I mean compared to other cookies which are made with simply refined flours they are a little kinder on the system. They […]
Vegan Blackberry Kefir
When I was at the store last weekend with Eric, he was gravitating towards the kefir. He said his stomach felt messed up, and he thought the probiotics might help. Maybe so, but the dairy might upset it more I said. I am not a fan of dairy obviously, being vegan. I used to eat […]
Vegan Cinnamon Roll Scones
All day at work in the deli yesterday, I was engulfed in the heavenly aroma of scones. My work station is near the cooling rack, and my coworker had been making blueberry oatmeal and lemon poppy seed scones. They smelled amazing. It is like free scent therapy. You can not close your eyes and smell that and […]
Vegan Festive Carrot Cake
Carrot cake has always appealed to me, ever since I tasted my first bite when I was about 5. I was not one of those kids that turned up their nose at veggies. Not that anyone ever turns their nose up at a good carrot cake once they taste it. It is good stuff! Especially […]
Raw Fruit and Seed Energy Hearts
Do you ever have one of those days where you are rushing around so much, and so focused on your work or tasks you are involved in, that you forget about having a snack and realize you are super hungry? Like so hungry your stomach feels like it is eating itself, and you need something […]
Spring Roasted Carrot Pasta
I have had lots of carrots on hand lately, mostly because of my love of carrot cake, and making a few carrot cake things, but of course I had some leftover. It was time for something savory. I know I have a dessert blog, but some days I end up craving more savory things. This […]
Vegan High Protein Hemp Brownie Tart
Sprout Living was kind enough to send me some of their amazing protein powders to create recipes with and I could not have been more excited when the package arrived. I always love getting things in the mail, and their protein powder is good stuff. If you have not tried it, it is raw, vegan, […]
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 Carrot Cake Pancakes with Caramel Drizzle
We had a little Spring teaser last weekend when it was 70 degrees and shorts weather. Now it is snowing a little and chilly. That’s March for you! But I am still in the mood for Spring stuff even though Minnesota still seems to want to hang on to Winter. Technically it is Spring at […]
White Chocolate Matcha Hemp Eggs
I am on an Easter candy making kick. It is really quite fun, and of course you get to enjoy a delicious end product and maybe share it with others if it is good enough. I made some last night that was just that. Delicious. But not what you would expect. I love my hemp […]
Vegan Shamrock Shooters
Avocadoes are amazing, that silky texture, delicious flavor and loads of healthy fats and health benefits to boot. Funny thing, one time I was talking to this guy who was supposed to be an expert on produce, and he said that avocadoes were bad for you because they contained fat. I got right on the […]
Irish Lentil Stew
We make an Irish Stew in the deli I work in, and every time I make it I think of St. Patrick’s Day. Well now St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner so I should definitely make it soon! Seems appropriate. Well, I thought I should make my own version of it at home. […]
Vegan Tag-Along Ice Cream
Next to samoa Girl Scout cookies, tag alongs were always a favorite. I have never been able to resist peanut butter and chocolate. I have made raw tag along cookies, but this year I decided to bake some, and they turned out delicious. I made some buttery tasting drop cookies that reminded me of shortbread […]
Coconut Curry Roasted Romanesco with Chickpeas
The first time I ever saw a romanesco I thought it looked like a beautiful green alien cauliflower with crazy geometric shapes. What an awesome veggie! I had to buy one of course, and it tasted wonderful too. One of my favorite ways to eat them is actually roasted with a bit of sea salt. […]
Mini Vegan German Chocolate Brownies
Baking brownies is one of my favorite things to do on my day off. Procrastibaking…putting off the other things I should be doing, and baking instead. But that is what I should be doing on my day off, enjoying myself, right?! And I do enjoy baking brownies. How can anyone not be in a good […]
Raw Vegan Tie Dye Cream Eggs
Easter is fast approaching, and I am in an Easter candy sort of mood. Everything with chocolate so far, because that was always my favorite. I was never a jelly bean or marshmallow Peeps sort of girl. I thought it would be fun to make some candy eggs with color in the middle, so I […]
Mini Lucky Green Vegan Cupcakes
I felt like making cupcakes on my day off. Because what could be better than baking cupcakes on your day off while relaxing and listening to good music? I find it extremely relaxing to bake, and cupcakes are fun I was feeling pretty lucky. In a good mood, and everything was going right. While I […]
Coconut Lime Popcorn with Dark Chocolate Drizzle
When I was a teenager and I frequented the mall a lot, I always walked past a popcorn stand that sold all different sorts of popcorn. All different colors as well, I am sure many of them were artificial, but they sure were pretty. It always smelled amazing, mostly of buttered popcorn and caramel corn. […]
Vegan Hazelnut Truffle Eggs
Easter is coming up, so I thought it was about time I made some Easter treats. When I was little, I was never a big fan of the jelly beans and Peeps. I was all about the chocolate candies. Reese’s peanut butter eggs were my favorite. I have made my own before in recent years […]
