Vegan Berry Swirl Cheesecake
The end of last week, my website went down because someone felt the need to infect it with malware. Which is really upsetting to me, that someone specifically creates programs to destroy other people’s websites. There are so many nasty people in the world I am always very thankful for the nice ones I encounter. It […]
Vegan White Chocolate Strawberry Almond Butter Cups
Berries and white chocolate is a simply heavenly combination! So thank goodness I am able to make vegan white chocolate at home so I can enjoy it. I admit, when I went vegan I thought I would not be able to enjoy it again since it has milk a lot of the time, and I […]
Vegan PB & J Mug Cakes
It has been pretty much raining here every day for over a week now. It is a little depressing outside on one hand, and not so motivating to wake up to no sunshine, but on the other hand, everything is looking really green outside and the rain is kind of calming. I did my first […]
Vegan Maple Glazed Bacon Doughnuts
I feel like so many people are obsessed with bacon. Well, guess what? I used to be too before I became vegan. Well vegetarian first so the bacon was long gone by the time I went vegan because it has been a total of about 14 years since I have eaten meat. I have tried […]
Blackberry Lime Margarita
Last weekend was pretty warm here. It kind of came as a shock to the system and I didn’t realize it until I went on a long run and felt pretty overheated after. I guess I am used to it being in the 40’s and 50’s in the morning and not weather that makes me […]
Vegan Italian Lentil Walnut Meatballs
When I was little, my Mom made really good meatballs with a red sauce. It was a recipe from a family friend. So years ago, she had asked me to make some vegan ones and she ended up liking them even better than this original recipe. I don’t have that recipe anymore, it was from […]
Vegan Blackberry Vanilla Cream Tart
My Mom used to make these amazing fruit tarts with a cream cheese filling and fresh fruit topping, usually berries in the Summer. They were so delicious! I think that was one of my favorite desserts growing up, and I would never turn one down. Not that I ever turned down a dessert. But berries […]
Vegan Snickers Swirl Brownies
I have been wanting to make brownies for a couple of weeks now, and I finally got around to it on Wednesday. Maybe I just made it happen because I was day dreaming about them on my 7 mile run that morning. Yes, I sometimes dream about recipes and come up with ideas when I […]
Home Made Mother’s Day Recipes
Mother’s Day is fast approaching, so if you haven’t thought about it yet, time to get on figuring out how you are going to make Mom feel special. Of course you can buy things, but sometimes it is nice to show Mom that you care by making home made things as well. At least, I […]
Vegan Maple Sandies
Before I discovered coconut sugar, there was a time I bought loads and loads of maple sugar for all of my desserts. It is a wonderful substitute for regular sugar because it has a similar texture. But of course it has that maple aroma, which I never minded since I love it! But then I […]
Vegan Turtle Chocolate Mousse Tart
It has been absolutely gorgeous here in Minnesota lately! The flowers are coming out full force with the lilacs and crab apple trees in bloom, and smelling heavenly, and the trees are looking full again. I have been spending a lot of time outside, trying to soak up the sun and fresh air so I haven’t […]
Vegan Toasted Almond Raspberry Ripple Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
When I was little, I always loved going to ice cream places with many flavors. You know, the shops that sold purely ice cream, and had at least 20-30 flavors at a time to choose from. It was always exciting to eyeball all of them, and imagine what they would taste like. Maybe asking for […]
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake
I am obsessed with anything chocolate chip cookies dough. This all stems from when I was little, in the kitchen with my Grandma when she was making chocolate chip cookies. I would always steal the dough when she wasn’t looking. But she knew, and always warned me not to eat too much because I didn’t […]
Thai Red Curry Noodles
We sell vegan Thai peanut noodles at my work, and they just seem to fly off the shelf! I feel like we are always making them. For good reason, what’s not to like about noodles in a creamy savory peanut butter sauce?! Well, I have made similar ones at home for a while and they […]
