Vegan Blueberry Almond Banana Pancakes
When it comes to simple, easy foods, pancakes are always a good option. When I was little, my Mom would sometimes make them for a quick dinner and I was always happy with that! After all, what’s not to like about pancakes, and also it felt like I was getting dessert for dinner because they […]
Vegan Berry Crisp in a Jar
Last Saturday was a beautiful day. The sun was out, it was about 50 degrees in the morning and I ran the Roseville Run for the Roses 5k. Now, 50 degrees might not sound like a nice Summer day to some, but it is perfect for running and I was thankful for the cooler temps for […]
Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake Popsicles
I have been waiting months to make popsicles, and now that Summer is officially here, it is time to make them! I made some strawberry lemonade ones last week, but this week I wanted something a bit more decadent. More like sort of an ice cream pop than actual ice. Although fudge pops are always […]
Cherry Lemon Mint Margarita
I don’t know about you, but I love a good margarita in the Summer. To me, a good margarita is not one of those ones you can buy at restaurants made with a mix in some electric bright color and full of refined sugar. To me, a good one is made with fresh, real ingredients […]
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 Turtle Ice Cream Cake
I have been seeing a lot of turtles around here lately. They are out in full force sunning themselves on logs, laying eggs, and crawling across the grass. I saw 3 large snapping turtles laying eggs on one of my runs last week. I recently read an article about how to help them cross the […]
Strawberry Dessert Hummus
Sometimes I start making a recipe and it turns into something totally different. That was what happened a few days ago when I was going to make some Vegan High Protein Cookie Dough, but I ended up making strawberry hummus instead. How does that happen? Well, the cookie dough base is chickpeas, so I threw […]
Vegan Raspberry Rhubarb Cream Cheese Pie
I got a bunch of rhubarb from my Dad’s garden recently and made some strawberry rhubarb wine, but I decided that a dessert featuring rhubarb sounded really good as well. I usually just go with the classic strawberry rhubarb combination, probably because one of my favorite things growing up was when my Grandma made strawberry […]
Vegan Berry Cheesecake Popcorn
I have been obsessed with all things berry lately. Mostly fresh berries of course, because they are finally beginning to be flavorful again, coming into season soon, but I will take other berry stuff too. Like the popcorn I made last week, it was vegan berry cheesecake flavor and it was amazing! I like to […]
Vegan Broccoli “Bacon” Salad
There is a broccoli bacon salad that is very popular among Minnesotans at church potlucks or summer picnics. It has a creamy dressing, raisins, sunflower seeds, onions and sometimes cheese depending on who makes it. I used to like it when I was little because it was sweet and had bacon, but when I got […]
