Vegan Raspberry Pop-Tarts
It was hard for my Mom to get me to eat breakfast when I was little. I just wanted to go to school or daycare and hated cereal so I would either eat Nutrigrain bars or Pop-Tarts so I didn’t have to sit down and take a lot of time to eat. The Raspberry Pop-Tarts […]
Vegan Chocolate Dipped Raspberry Lavender Ice Cream Pops
Warmer weather is approaching and they said it was supposed to be nice last weekend so I figured I would make some ice cream. Not the scoop-able kind though, some ice cream popsicles! I love that they are portable, and easily shareable and it is always nice to be able to take them along on […]
Mocha Dark Chocolate CBD Truffles
Back when I was in high school, my Mom and I would go to this tiny local coffee shop after church every week and get coffee. She would always get a white mocha, and for a while I would get a dark chocolate mocha before my tastes changed and I went to the less sweet […]
Vegan Porcupine Meatballs
Growing up, I never realized how much work goes into making meat balls. I mean all the mixing and rolling them into a gazillion balls, that takes work! It’s no wonder we ate frozen meatballs growing up most of the time and not home made. Once in a while though my Mom would make some […]
Vegan Broccoli Cheese Chowder
Growing up, I used to eat a lot of canned soup and I thought nothing of it. That is, until me and my Mom started to make our own soups at home when I was in high school from a soup cookbook we had bought and when I later started working in a deli that […]
Vegan Chocolate Crepes
Last weekend Eric and I were at a cafe that served crepes and we just had time for lattes even though he really wanted some crepes. So, I decided that later that week I would make some crepes. Classic vanilla crepes are so good with just cinnamon and sugar but I figured I would be […]
Vegan Coconut Lime Date Bars
I have always loved date bars. They are sweet, and gooey and delicious with a buttery crust and topping. I don’t think they get enough attention from most people, same as dates in general because people probably just think that they are like prunes but they are totally missing out. But dates are nature’s caramel. […]
Vegan Key Lime White Chocolate Mousse Tart
I was given a big bag of organic limes and so I thought it was the perfect time to make some key lime pie! Me not being one to make things just the same traditional way as everyone else though, decided to make a key lime white chocolate mousse tart instead. It would be like […]
Strawberry Pistachio Lemon Granola
When I was little I thought that granola was something that hippies ate that you got at the health food store. So in other words a health food. Little did I know that it was actually really delicious, which I discovered in college when I decided to make a granola recipe from a breakfast cookbook […]
Lavender Lemonade
It was a sort of gloomy day Wednesday, so when I got home I decided to make myself a fancy drink fit for a hot Summer day and pretend like it was nice outside even though it wasn’t. You would think I would go for hot tea or cocoa or something because it was chilly […]
Roasted Sweet Potato Red Lentil Hummus
We make giant batches of hummus in the deli where I work. We are talking like gallons. It is such good hummus too! I think the trick to delicious classic hummus is plenty of lemon juice and sea salt. Of course it has to have a good amount of tahini to make it rich and […]
Vegan Mexican Chocolate Lava Cakes
Since Cinco de Mayo is this weekend, I decided to make something for dessert with a little kick. I had made a Mexican chocolate cake that was really good a few years back with a little bit of cinnamon and chipotle in the batter and that sounded good to make again, but I didn’t feel […]
Vegan Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
Cookies and cream ice cream was one of my favorites when I was a kid. My Dad usually had it on hand in his refrigerator and it was perfect for layering up with the other flavors for a giant sundae. He used to let me make whatever I wanted, no matter the sugar content or […]
