Vegan Tahini Chocolate Cake
I am a big fan of tahini. It is good in savory applications like hummus, dressing and sauces, but it is equally good in desserts. I had bought a bunch of tahini for making halva, and decided that a chocolate and tahini dessert will be amazing. What I decided on was a Vegan Tahini Chocolate […]
Vegan Roasted Strawberry Rhubarb Ice Cream
Strawberries and rhubarb together is one of my all time favorite combos! Ever since I first tried my Grandma’s strawberry rhubarb sauce when I was little that she made with the rhubarb growing in her back yard I was a fan. That stuff was so simple, just strawberries, rhubarb and sugar. It was so good! […]
Mango Strawberry Granola
I was never a big granola person, until I discovered home made granola! Store bought was a bit too sweet and sugary for me sometimes, and the flavors weren’t that exciting but when I make my own at home I can tailor it to my sweetness level and add all kinds of fun add […]
Vegan Strawberry Shortcake French Toast Casserole
I always loved french toast as a kid. It was sweet and delicious and it always seemed like a treat! Sweet breakfast to me has always seemed like dessert, even if it is what a lot of people typically eat. And I still feel that way! So often times when I make breakfast items […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Lava Cakes
A few years back I had seen peanut butter lava cakes pop up a few times on Pinterest and said to myself, I have to make those. They just looked too good not to try making. Of course the ones that I had seen were not at all vegan, full of sugar, dairy and eggs. […]
Vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Pistachio Jam Bars
I am super excited for rhubarb season! We aren’t quite there yet in Minnesota. Well, maybe that is an understatement. We just cleared the snow and grass is barely beginning to grow so maybe about a month. But there is hope, it got up to 88 degrees this week, a record high for that day! […]
Vegan Carrot Cake Doughnuts
It may technically be spring here in Minnesota but we are getting some pretty wintery weather lately, like a few inches of snow and below freezing temps. But I am so ready for spring, so I am just putting up spring decor, and making spring food and pretending it isn’t cold outside. Things like carrot […]
Vegan Date Cinnamon Swirl Bread
I always loved cinnamon bread growing up, especially for toast! It was amazing with some butter on it for a breakfast treat! I preferred the plain cinnamon, not the cinnamon raisin because I am not a big raisin fan. But I was thinking recently, you know what would make cinnamon raisin swirl bread better? […]
Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Tart with Pretzel Crust
Back in the day I used to make a simple chocolate mousse that was just two ingredients. Whipped cream and chocolate. You whipped the cream to soft peaks then folded in melted dark chocolate. It was one of the most delicious things ever, so simple but so good. A few bites were satisfying but I […]
Vegan Blueberry Maple French Toast Casserole
One of my favorite things to do with a bunch of leftover bread is french toast casserole! I will often times put bread in the freezer if we don’t eat it all in a couple days because I don’t want it to get stale. But sometimes I forget it is in there. I had a […]
Date Pecan Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies
Oats are something that I love so much I have eaten them nearly every day for the past 20 years of my life. I have a bowl of oatmeal in the morning, I never get sick of it and it is one of my favorite things. It has shifted from cooked to overnight oats, but […]
Vegan Berry Swirl Bread
I am so ready for spring! It felt like Spring here in Minnesota for about a week with temperatures in the high 30s and 40s and the snow was melting. So I spent as much time outside as possible when I could and dreamed about actual spring and decided that making something with strawberries sounded […]
Vegan Almond Butter and Jelly Dark Chocolate Bars
Eric and I were recently at a candy store, and although some of the items there were vegan, the one thing that I actually wanted to buy was not, a peanut butter and jelly dark chocolate candy bar. I am always more of a chocolate candy person than just a sugar sweet candy person, so […]
Vegan Raspberry Rose Mochi
Eric and I have bought a lot of mochi, my favorite flavors so far were the red bean filled and matcha. But there was also a delicious ube mochi that was pretty bomb. You have to read ingredients of course, because some are not vegan (especially a lot of the ice cream ones, but this […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Layer Cake
I think I lived on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch for a while when I was little. I didn’t really like other types of sandwiches at that point (I hated everything with lunch meat, makes sense that I am vegan now) and they were just so darn delicious! My Mom always bought raspberry […]
Coffee Chocolate Halva
Halva is something I make every so often when I am craving candy or something sweet. I first enjoyed some at a place local to me that makes it in all kinds of amazing flavors, then decided to try making my own, because I wanted to make fun flavors too! Sometimes I make it with […]
Vegan Cookie Monster Chocolate Chip Cookies
I had bought a purple yam and cooked it, not knowing what I was going to make with it. It was pretty delicious, and it was tempting just to eat it, but it was so beautiful I thought it needed to be used in something. I have seen people use them in recipes before to […]
Vegan Almond Praline Cake
Around the holidays I like to make candy, things like peanut brittle and almond praline brittle are one of my husband Eric’s favorites! I made some almond praline brittle last weekend, because I thought it sounded good, then I thought about how good it might be as an element of texture included in a cake! […]
Vegan Peppermint Fudge
Fudge was always something that my Grandma had at Christmas along with all of the other delicious treats we only got once a year, and so I think of it as a Christmas treat. It was just classic fudge with walnuts but she loved it and I thought it was pretty delicious! I don’t have […]
Creamy Vegan Mushroom Wild Rice Soup
At pretty much every restaurant in Minnesota you will find some version or other of creamy wild rice soup, usually with chicken, and everyone claims that theirs is “famous” and the “best”. I tried a few growing up, and I never thought any of them were that great, except for the version that my Mom […]
Fudgy Vegan Mocha Brownies
You know what the perfect thing to do on a snowy day is? Bake something delicious! Which is exactly why I decided to bake brownies this week! It literally snowed for 4 days, and although it is really pretty (so much prettier than the brown dead plants outside), I am so not ready for winter […]
Vegan Churro French Toast Sticks
Growing up I loved french toast sticks. We would occasionally have them with school lunch (I never minded breakfast at other random parts of the day), and I thought they were awesome. What kid doesn’t like something that tastes like dessert for lunch after all. I don’t think I had had any since middle […]
Vegan Butternut Squash Maple Layer Cake
There was a chill in the air here, but then last weekend it shot up to almost 80F degrees in Minnesota! I have been spending a lot of time outside running, walking and just hanging out because we gotta enjoy the warmth while we can before the snow flies soon. But I am still enjoying […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cornbread
I make chili almost every week. It is usually with rice on top and avocado, but last time I made it Eric told me that he prefers his with cornbread, so I said I would make some soon. I used to always make cornbread with my chili back in the day, and serve it topped […]
Vegan Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies
It has been darn near perfect outside here for the past few days, so I have been spending a lot of time out there enjoying the beautiful leaves, sunshine and cooler temps, but when I get back home I am definitely craving some fall treats! So, I decided to bake some cookies last weekend! Snickerdoodle […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread
When I was little, my Grandma was an amazing baker! Everything she made was so delicious and when I walked into her house and smelled something baking I knew I was in for a treat. Or even better, when she let me help her make things! One of my favorite things ever was her […]
Pumpkin Spice Latte Syrup
I love a good pumpkin spice latte! But it has to be one made with actual real pumpkin in it. I am not a big fan of the ones that are just made with generic syrup by chain coffee shops. My favorite pumpkin spice lattes come from local shops that make their own syrups that […]
Vegan Cinnamon Sugar Apple Doughnuts
Last weekend Eric and visited a local apple orchard where you can pick your own apples. This week they were offering sweet tango apples which are a good balance of tart and sweet, so that was what we ended up picking. It was a beautiful day to walk through the orchard, the sun was shining […]
6 Ingredient Vegan Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream
I am a little obsessed with pumpkins and all things fall right now. I already have a bunch of pumpkin decor, mainly glass and ceramic ones, but I just bought another one, and then I also bought some cute mini pumpkins because I have been walking past them on display at work and they were […]
Lavender Vanilla Iced Latte
While we were in Wisconsin for our anniversary trip last month, we stopped by a lavender farm shop called Island Lavender and it smelled so amazing! Lavender is one of my favorite scents, and it was really tempting to buy so many things from the shop! We did buy some lavender, and other lavender scented […]
Vegan Apple Cinnamon Sweet Rolls
Apple season is in full swing! Although I have yet to make it to the apple orchard this year, I really want to go soon, I love going there are picking my own apples! However I did recently buy some apples at a farm market when we visited Door County Wisconsin recently. They […]
Roasted Veggie Burrito Bowl
Many people think that vegan food consists of just salads, and that we go hungry a lot of the time, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Every meal I make, I create things that will satisfy me and fill me up, especially dinner because I have more time to cook in the evening […]
Vegan Peaches and Cream Scones
On weekends, I like to enjoy a treat with my coffee. Whether that be a slice of cake, a brownie, or something more brunchy like a cinnamon roll or a scone. I do love scones with coffee! But they have to be good scones, I am really picky. The deli I formerly worked in made […]
Vegan Peach Cobbler with Hazelnut Biscuits
Peach cobbler is a quintessential summer dessert, something that is awesome made about mid August when the peaches are in season and at their best! The peaches at the store just looked so good the other day, and I hadn’t had any yet this year, so I decided to buy a bunch. They were […]
Vegan Vanilla Confetti Cake
It is always a good occasion for cake as far as I am concerned. Which is why I decided to make this Vegan Vanilla Confetti Cake randomly this week. I had 3 weeks off from working between my old job and starting a new one and I am not used to having all of this […]
Vegan Raspberry Rose Gelato
It has been really hot and humid here in Minnesota lately and I couldn’t think of anything more lovely than some home made cooling ice cream, so I decided to make some yesterday! Although popsicles and granitas are delicious and light, I really wanted some rich and creamy more along the lines of gelato. Like […]
Vegan Brownie Caramel Ice Cream Cake
It has been warm every day here in Minnesota, and although I am somewhat getting used to it, ice cream still always sounds good. I like a dish of regular ice cream, but this week I decided that what sounded really good was an ice cream cake! I always loved Dairy Queen ice cream cakes […]
Vegan Instant Pot Chickpea Chili
I have always loved chili. My family didn’t really make it, they just made regular soup and stew usually. But my friend’s Dad that lived next door to us made the best chili, and the ingredients in it were grown in their garden. It was spicy, since they grew hot peppers, but it was so […]
Vegan Blueberry Vanilla Layer Cake
For my Birthday every year I like to bake myself a cake, this year wouldn’t be any different. I had a Vegan Vanilla Blueberry Layer Cake in mind way in advance, I had bought the ingredients, then this week happened and I almost delayed making the cake (but didn’t because I am posting it obviously). […]
Vegan Raspberry Jam Bars
I love any dessert with a crumbly streusel type topping, like fruit crisp or pie and these Vegan Raspberry Jam Bars! I have been wanting to make these for a while, since I have a good amount of Jam from Eric’s Dad. He makes the best jam and he sent us a whole bunch! The […]
Vegan Raspberry Banana Cake
You would think that it being summer and hot outside would deter me from heating up my oven to bake things but it really doesn’t at all, because when I get it into my head that I want to bake something I go for it, hot kitchen at all. I am used to working in […]
5 Ingredient Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
I love enjoying any type of berries in the summer! Local are best, and picking them yourself is even better! I went berry picking several times with Eric on our trip to Michigan a few years back, and they were honestly the best berries I have ever tasted. That was at a farm, but here […]
Vegan Blueberry Rhubarb Cobbler with Vanilla Almond Biscuits
Official summer may just be in a few days, but I am still enjoying the spring rhubarb! The rhubarb plant in my Dad’s garden is still pretty large and I wouldn’t want all of that delicious rhubarb to go to waste! So, I decided to make a Vegan Blueberry Cobbler with Vanilla Almond Biscuits last […]
Vegan Banana Snickerdoodle Cookies
I make vegan snickerdoodles at work, and they are one of my best selling cookies. I have to say, they would be one of my top choices as well, they are pretty darn delicious with their chewy texture, sweet sugar cookie flavor and aromatic cinnamon sugar coating. Snickerdoodles weren’t something that we made in my […]
Date and Pistachio Halva
I was recently given some tahini with dates in it, and it was super delicious. Also, it gave me the idea to make some halva with chewy dates! I love dates, they are like nature’s caramel in fruit form. And, I also am a big halva fan, especially ones with delicious add ins you can […]
Vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Scones
Strawberries and rhubarb are one of my all time favorite combinations! I think it all started when I was little. My Grandma used to grow a row of giant rhubarb plants behind her garage, and she would use them to make this really delicious strawberry rhubarb sauce which she would give to us in […]
Vegan Birthday Cake Sugar Cookies
Eric asked if I could make some birthday cake waffles last week, but I said you know what would be better? Some birthday cake cookies. I will make the waffles soon, but some sugar cookies with the flavor of birthday cake just sounded good. No, it is not anyone’s birthday not for a few more […]
Vegan Strawberry Sweet Rolls
Spring has arrived in full force, the trees are blossoming, the grass is vibrant green, and the birds are singing. I love it! And, I am inspired to make desserts that have spring ingredients, like these Vegan Strawberry Sweet Rolls! Minnesota strawberries won’t be here for a little while, they are in their flowering stage, […]
Vegan Chocolate Filler Bars
When I was little, I thought chocolate filler bars were awesome! I mean, what could be better than gooey fudgy chocolate sandwiched in between crumbly buttery cookie dough?! I think I first had them at my Mom’s friend’s house and we got the recipe from her, but I remember them being one of my favorite […]
Vegan Hummingbird Cupcakes
One of my more popular recipes on the blog is a Vegan Hummingbird Cake that I made years ago! It is something I like to make in the spring, and I feel like it is perfect for Easter and Mother’s Day! I recently was craving that cake, but I didn’t really want to make a […]
Vegan Strawberry Lemon Layer Cake
The weather here in Minnesota just seems to want to stay cold, in fact we had snow for Easter last weekend, and earlier in the week. But that isn’t stopping me from enjoying the flavors of spring and looking forward to a warmer season. We don’t really get strawberries here until the end of May […]
Vegan Chocolate Halva Eggs
I can’t believe Easter is already next weekend! Time has flown by this spring! The weather has finally been nicer, so last weekend I spent a lot of time outside, but I also made time to make some Easter goodies including these Vegan Chocolate Halva Eggs! I usually make some truffle eggs or peanut butter […]
Vegan Carrot Cake Oatmeal Cookies
We are a little ways into spring, but it really doesn’t feel very spring like in Minnesota yet, as it has been gray and snowing/raining for what seems like weeks now. But that makes it the perfect time to spend time in my kitchen and bake things of the spring variety. Like carrot cake […]
Vegan Banana Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting
The deli that I work in makes banana bars with cream cheese frosting that are really popular with the customers. I could not try them however because they are not vegan but they sounded really good to me, so I decided to make my own Vegan Banana Bars with “Cream Cheese” Frosting at home! My […]
Vegan Peaches and Cream Layer Cake
Last week, I had the idea to make a peaches and cream layer cake. I admit I was inspired by some peach jam that I had just opened up that Eric’s Dad sent home with us when we visited him in Michigan last fall. He makes some of the best jams, and this peach jam […]
Vegan Ginger Carrot Ice Cream
Ever since I bought an ice cream maker years ago, I have pretty much always made my own ice cream at home instead of buying store bought. Because not only can I make sure good quality ingredients go into it, it is also fun to make my own flavors and there is nothing like home […]
Vegan Zucchini Carrot Cupcakes
One can never get too many veggies as far as I am concerned. I try to get a large variety in my meals, so I sometimes like to add them to dessert as well, because why not?! Especially since you usually can’t taste them in there if you put them in things like carrot cake! […]
Vegan Chili Verde
I love any kind of chili. In fact, I make chili at least once a week, usually my Vegan Chili Mole with Rice because it is my favorite. But sometimes I like to switch it up, like last weekend when I decided to make some Vegan Chili Verde! I have made it before, and enjoyed […]
Vegan Mini Strawberry Cakes
I am sooo ready for spring! We are getting little glimpses of it here in Minnesota in between the really cold days, but I can’t wait until all of the snow melts and we have green plants outside again, especially towards the end of spring when early strawberries are in season! It will be a […]
Vegan Pecan Brownies
Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to brownies. Some like the corners, some like the middle pieces, some like a fluffier less dense brownie, and some like it to be super fudgy. When it comes to a brownie, the fudgier the better as far as I am concerned, I am not a cakey […]
Vegan Raspberry Vanilla Cake
If I were to pick a favorite cake flavor, this Vegan Vanilla Raspberry Cake would be it. In fact, this is one of the flavors we ordered for our wedding cakes. It was so heavenly, I told myself I would need to make one for myself at home sometime. Well, that time has come, I […]
Strawberry Pistachio Almond Halva
You know what you can do for yourself when you had a tough day and just want to wind down and enjoy something sweet? Whip up a batch of halva! Seriously, it is so delicious and easy to make! I began to love it a few years back when Eric and I bought some slices […]
Savory Mushroom Vegetable Stew
Last weekend in Minnesota it was a bit chilly with only highs in the single digits (F), and snow showers happening frequently. I don’t let the cold stop me from enjoying the outdoors though, I feel that fresh air is important to enjoy year round and the snow is actually really beautiful! It beats staring […]
Vegan Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cupcakes
Last weekend I was in the mood for something sweet. Cake sounded good, but what kind to make? Well, when I saw the huge pile of bananas on my counter when I got home, I decided something with banana was in order. I had enough bananas in the freezer for smoothies so I needed to […]
Chocolate Marbled Peanut Butter Halva
I have loved halva ever since I started buying it at a local shop a few years back. I still occasionally get down to the shop, but I also started to make my own at home. I have made it a few times now, and Eric loves it so much that the batch is usually […]
Chipotle Sweet Potato and Chickpea Soup
Happy 2022! I know new years was a few days back, but I am getting around to typing up a post now so Happy New Year! I decided to take a few weeks off of making recipes over the holidays because it was just too hectic and I wanted to enjoy them. But now I […]
Vegan Matcha Mint Doughnuts
I can’t believe it is already Christmas this week! Time has flown, and as always this time of year is busy, so instead of making a cake this week when I felt like making a treat, I decided to make doughnuts instead! I like to enjoy doughnuts with my coffee sometimes on the weekends, and […]
Vegan Hot Cocoa Cookies
A snow day is the perfect time to do some baking! And, we definitely just got a lot of snow dumped on us here in Minnesota. It was about time though, nobody wants a brown Christmas! I made some Holiday cookies at work last week, they were double chocolate mint, and we all loved them […]
Vegan Peppermint Mocha Cake
It was looking a bit brown and grey outside here in Minnesota, since it has been pretty cloudy lately, it gets dark early and all of the greenery has died plus we had no snow. That is until this weekend! I woke up to a blanket of fresh snow on the ground and honestly it […]
Vegan Chocolate Pecan Mousse Pie
Growing up, for Thanksgiving my Grandma always had pumpkin, pecan and apple pie for dessert. I would always take a slice of each, but the pecan was my favorite. It was my Grandma’s favorite and Mom’s favorite too, although there was always more left of it at the end because some of my family does […]
40+ Vegan Thanksgiving Dessert Recipes
In case you are having a hard time trying to decide what to make for Thanksgiving dessert, or are looking for something new to try, I have you covered! I think dessert is an essential part of Thanksgiving, and it was always my favorite part growing up. So, I always try to make sure I […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Cake
Pumpkin is my jam ever since fall started. I make so many pumpkin cookies and scones at work lately and they always sell really fast so apparently I am not the only one. I have been making cookies, cakes, and pumpkin spice lattes at home, but what I I have really been craving lately that […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte Layer Cake
Everyone is obsessed with pumpkin spice lattes this time of the year, and I am not surprised, since I am a big anything pumpkin lover myself. And, I admit that I buy them from local coffee shops. But they have to be good ones made with real pumpkin and spices not just fake flavoring. We […]
Vegan Creamy Wild Mushroom Soup
Wild mushroom foraging season is now over in the upper midwest, but a few weeks back while we were on our honeymoon to the upper peninsula of Michigan it was a great time to go foraging for mushrooms! I honestly have never seen so many varieties of wild mushrooms in my life […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own I have been craving pumpkin cheesecake lately since we are in the middle of pumpkin season, but I also thought brownies sounded good. So I thought, why not combine them for a fall treat?! I had some Dastony raw cashew butter and coconut butter […]
Skillet Apple Crisp
Fall is my favorite season! I love the chill in the air, running through crunchy leaves, the beautifully colored trees, and of course the delicious foods that are now in season! Every year I have to make a trip to the apple orchard, and last weekend, since we both had the day off, Eric and […]
Vegan Cookies and Cream Doughnuts
I don’t normally buy store bought cookies, but since I was gifted a more “natural” version of some Oreo type cookies, and they tasted good, I decided it would be the perfect opportunity to make something cookies and cream with them! It was funny, because I had the unopened package sitting in the cupboard and […]
Vegan Apple Cream Cheese Coffeecake
This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own I have been seeing all sorts of delicious apple desserts in my newsfeed lately, and have been excited to start making my own! I love a good apple pie, apple muffins or apple scones, but what I decided to make first was some apple […]
Vegan Peach Galette
I have been all about the peaches lately. I made some peach scones and peach ice cream last week, and I have been eating them like crazy plus I made this peach galette. I was craving a peach pie, but I didn’t want to go through the extra effort to make one, so […]
Vegan Rosewater Peach Ice Cream
There is nothing like a perfectly ripe flavorful summer peach! I have been enjoying a lot of them lately, because my Dad gifted Eric and I a case. Although they are amazing on their own, I thought they would be amazing in some desserts as well. So I made a peach galette and some Rosewater […]
Vegan Raspberry Truffle Swirl Brownies
I apologize for my lack of new posts lately, but I was busy getting married! I tied the knot last weekend, and now I am officially Amy Lyons O’Neil! We had a lot of fun at our wedding, it was small, about 20 of our family members and closest friends. We had planned on having […]
Vegan Blueberry Muffins
When I was little, on weekends my Dad would sometimes bake blueberry muffins, and I thought it was one of the greatest things ever. I got super excited when he let me mix the batter and eat the excess batter out of the bowl that didn’t make it into the tins. They were always […]
Vegan Blueberry Lavender Ice Cream
I have been eating so many berries lately. Mostly because it is summer and I feel berry deprived the rest of the year and because I bought a large amount. Berries are not something that is bad to eat a ton of though, why not get your daily antioxidants the natural way, right?! I wanted […]
Vegan Birthday Cake Waffles
July was my birthday month, so in addition to a cake I made a few other birthday treats like these fun Birthday cake waffles! Yes, my birthday was actually a few weeks back, but I just got around to typing it up now, and I feel like these can be made even when […]
Vegan Mocha Caramel Ice Cream
It has been a bit warm here lately, so I have been in the mood for frozen desserts and ice cream! Rather than buy it at the store, I make mine at home because it can be spendy there and I like to use more natural ingredients in mine like dates instead of […]
Vegan Matcha Vanilla Cake with White Chocolate Frosting
For my Birthday this year I decided to make my own cake despite being a bit busy, and that is why it has taken me a while to type up the recipe. I have been busy planning my wedding and I just moved a few weeks ago, and this was actually the first item I […]
Vegan Banana Chocolate Shortcakes
I love a good strawberry shortcake, especially in summer. Other berry shortcakes are good as well, and I have even made an apple shortcake for fall. But it occurred to me when I was making some banana scones the other day that I have never seen a banana shortcake! So I decided to make one […]
Vegan Strawberry Cobbler with Vanilla Pecan Biscuits
I feel like it has been forever since I made a baked fruit dessert. Maybe since last year in fact! I have been busy getting ready to move, so I haven’t done much baking lately but when I had some extra time this week I wanted to make something baked that involved strawberries! I thought […]
Vegan Cappucchino Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
I am a coffee fan. It always smelled amazing to me even if for the first part of my life I thought it actually tasted gross. But that may have been because the only time I would try it would be some event at church or something and I tried it plain with nothing in […]
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes
I love cookie dough more than actual baked cookies. Maybe I am weird, but that is the part of the cookie baking process that I enjoy most, eating the cookie dough! So, I like to enjoy it in other ways as well. I have made cookie dough truffles, and chocolate chip cookie dough hummus, and […]
Vegan Neapolitan Ice Cream Cake
I always liked neapolitan ice cream. It seemed kind of fancy with its 3 flavors layered together and it meant that you didn’t have to simply choose one flavor of ice cream which was always hard for me. But I haven’t seen any vegan neapolitan ice cream for sale, so I thought I would make […]
Vegan Carrot Cake Roll
I was buying carrots for a recipe and all there was to buy was a giant bag of carrots, not the bulk ones I normally buy. I only needed one or two for my recipe but I bought it because they were an important part of it. I had a lot of extra carrots leftover […]
Key Lime Sugar Cookies
I had some limes leftover from making a key lime pie recently so I was trying to come up with something delicious to make with them. Of course limeade is always good, but I wanted something a little more fun, creative and dessert themed. I finally decided to make cookies with them. I wanted something […]
Vegan Key Lime Pie
I have always loved key lime pie. When I was little my Mom and I would order it at restaurants when we saw it on the menu or occasionally make our own. It had to be the perfect balance of tart and sweet though, maybe a little more on the tart side and have […]
Vegan Banana Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling
Roll cakes used to intimidate me, but now I find that they are easier to make than a layer cake because the frosting is far less fussy (if they have any). So when I had some over ripe bananas and I was craving banana cake this week, that is what I decided to make. I […]
Vegan Caramel Pistachio Tart
My Mom’s Birthday is in a few days and this year she requested a caramel nut tart. Pecans are good, but you know what’s even better and prettier for spring? Pistachios! I have a funny story about them too. Back when I was in high school and I went shopping with my Mom […]
Vegan Matcha White Chocolate Filled Eggs
I love making Easter candy! One of my favorites has always been filled chocolate eggs. This year I made some raspberry ones, and some caramel, and also some with a matcha white chocolate filling earlier this week! I had enjoyed a white chocolate matcha latte recently and I decided that it would make a heavenly […]
Vegan Strawberries and Cream Sandwich Cookies

Vegan Raspberry Bismark Cakes
When my Mom would take me to the bakery when I was little, one of our favorite things to get were the raspberry bismarks. We loved the tart raspberry jam inside of the sweet fluffy doughnuts with a vanilla glaze. We were talking about them the other day and how we hadn’t had any in […]
Vegan Strawberry Lemon White Chocolate Cups
Meteorological spring is here, and even thought it is not technical spring on the calendar, I am treating it like it is. I am so ready to wear cute spring clothes, watch everything start to green up outside and to eat delicious spring produce! One of my favorite of which is strawberries. They won’t be […]
