Vegan Hot Chocolate Waffles
I loved hot cocoa or hot chocolate growing up. We always had a box of those little packets ready to just add water to. You know, the ones with the mini marshmallows in them? My 8 year old self loved that stuff! Now, I prefer to make my own instead of using a mix. I […]
Vegan Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Popcorn
I stayed away from all of the crazy black Friday stuff last weekend. I really prefer to do most of my shopping online if I can since I hate crowds and chaos. The only store I shopped at was Goodwill, and I was lucky enough to find 3 nice sweaters for $8 since they were […]
Vegan Eggnog Creme Caramel
For Eric’s Birthday I always ask him if he wants me to make him a cake or some sort of dessert. Because he has the biggest sweet tooth I know, and I am always happy to make one! In past years it has always been cake, but this year he said he wanted a creme […]
Vegan Chocolate Mint Hazelnut Thumb Print Cookies
I love making Christmas cookies. When I was little, my Mom and I would always pick out many different kinds then spend the day in the kitchen listening to Christmas music making them and afterwards we would put them all in a big container to enjoy for the Holidays and to give away. We would […]
Peppermint CBD Hot Chocolate
I have been saying to myself for weeks now that hot chocolate sounds good. I caught a whiff of someone’s chocolate creamer going into their coffee at my work and ever since then I have been craving it. I really don’t make it often enough. I used to make it quite a bit when I […]
30 Vegan Savory Thanksgiving Recipes
Sometimes I feel like people think that vegans don’t get to enjoy good food on holidays like Thanksgiving. But on the contrary, we feast just like the omnivores! There is just as much delicious vegan food out there as there are is food containing animal products and I never feel deprived with what I cook […]
Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Swirled Pumpkin Pie
I made a double chocolate pecan pie last weekend, and saved half in the freezer for Thanksgiving, and I thought I should make a pumpkin pie too, since it wouldn’t be right not to have both. I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid, I thought that the dessert was the […]
Vegan Maple Cinnamon Sweet Potato Bread
Sweet potatoes are one of my all time favorite things to eat. Baked to perfection with the sweet flavors intensified, then stuffed, or mashed with a hint of lime and sea salt, or cut into yam fries and baked, or roasted crispy in salads, or in chunks in soups…the possibilities are endless and I include […]
Vegan Double Chocolate Pecan Pie
One important tradition for Thanksgiving in my family is pecan pie. I know pumpkin and apple are the most popular, but my Grandma and Mom’s favorite pie was always pecan. I have to agree. It is pretty decadent and delicious and I consider it special because I only got to enjoy it for Thanksgiving. No […]
Vegan Eggnog Truffles
I know it is not Christmas yet, but I have seen eggnog in stores, so that means it is officially eggnog season, right?! Not that I usually buy mine from the store, I like to make it so that it has healthier ingredients and not any stabilizers or anything in it. I like a good […]
Root Vegetable Lentil Stew
In the deli I work at, we sell so much soup it is unreal. We sell at least 24 quarts a day. I understand. We do make really good soups and stews from scratch, using organic ingredients. I am the vegan soup maker. Of all of the soups I make, my favorites are the soups […]
Vegan Black Bottom Cupcakes
When I was little, my Mom would bake some pretty amazing things. Mostly things that were passed down from my Grandma or from the old church cookbooks. Things like 7 layer bars, banana chocolate chip bread, or black bottom cupcakes. Black bottom cupcakes were amazing, especially to my 8 year old self. If you haven’t […]
Vegan Tahini Salted Caramel Brownies
I am finding I love tahini even more for sweet applications than savory. I used to think it was just something to make hummus and dressing with, but it is great in place of nut butter in things as well. Like for instance in caramel. Tahini caramel is amazing. Raw Guru recently sent me a […]
