Vegan Samoa Bars
I was never a Girl Scout, but my parents always bought Girl Scout Cookies when I was little. I had a few favorites, Tag-a-longs, Thin Mints and Samoas are usually what we would buy. This one year they had these really good strawberry cream sandwich cookies but those were short lived unfortunately. The Samoas were […]
Vegan Irish Oatmeal Layer Cake
The first time I ever attempted to bake a layer cake, it was an Irish oatmeal cake. It was for my Mom’s Birthday. I had just graduated high school, and I was just getting into baking. It seemed simple enough after I read the directions. But…simple it was not for me at least. It seemed […]
Vegan Strawberry Matcha Chocolate Bars
It has been feeling like spring here in Minnesota, so I am in the mood for spring colors and flavors. I am so ready to put away the heavy winter clothes and bring out the fun spring wardrobe! But I know the weather can turn on a dime so it will still be […]
Vegan Lasagna Roll Ups
When I was in middle school and I ate school lunch, one of my favorite things were the lasagna roll ups. When I saw that they were on the menu, I looked forward to lunch time. Oddly enough though, I haven’t actually ever had lasagna roll ups since I left middle school, because most people, […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirled Banana Bread
Banana bread was always one of my favorite baked goods growing up. Whenever we had over ripe bananas on hand, my Mom would make my Grandma’s banana bread recipe, and it was always so good. She would usually swap out the nuts for chocolate chips and that was my favorite way to enjoy […]
Blood Orange Dark Chocolate Tarts
I love blood oranges! Their sweet flavor, and lovely color are perfect, and they are only available for a short time usually around here, so I always get some when they are available! Surprisingly though, I had not bought any yet this year because I hadn’t seen them but when I came across […]
Vegan Raspberry Cupcakes
I started this blog 11 years ago last week, and although it seems like I have been making recipes forever I still can’t believe it has been that long! I started this blog back in 2010 as a way to share recipes with others, since before that I had simply been posting them on […]
Vegan Chocolate Caramel Rolls
I have been telling myself that I wanted to make some sort of sweet rolls since before the Holidays, and I finally got around to it last weekend. They are a bit of a project, since the dough requires rising time and whatnot and time is something I have not had a lot […]
Vegan White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Pie
When I was little, there was this strawberry silk pie from Baker’s Square that they would have around Valentine’s Day that I just loved. My Dad had gotten one a few times and it was sooo good! It had a creamy strawberry layer, plenty of whipped cream on top, and pink white chocolate curls. I […]
Vegan Rosewater White Chocolate Truffles
Rosewater is such a heavenly flavor that I don’t use nearly enough! I recently found mine (it had gotten pushed to the back of the refrigerator), and decided that I needed to make something with it this week. I had recently purchased a big bag of cacao butter, so combining it with white chocolate sounded […]
Vegan Chocolate Strawberry Cake
I haven’t made an actual layer cake in a while, so when I was craving chocolate cake this week, I decided to go for it. They are a little more work than other cakes, and I am a busy person, so when I have time to make one, it is usually a relaxing day to […]
Vegan Chocolate Caramel Hearts
Valentine’s Day is about a month away, so I figured why not make some candy! Not that I didn’t make candy for Christmas, but there is a candy for every season right? Luckily the candy that I make isn’t just complete sugar and has some nutritional value. Making candy for Valentine’s day is sort of […]
Vegan Mocha Rocky Road Skillet Brownies
I have been wanting to make something rocky road for a while now since I had some leftover marshmallows from the holidays, and I got my chance this week. I had made some vegan brownies at work and they smelled so delicious and inviting I just had to make some of my own at home. […]
Cherry Maple Pecan Oatmeal Cookies
You would think that I would be sick of cookies after it being Christmas cookie season, but that isn’t the case. My Mom gave me some dried cherries and pecans and asked me to whip up a batch of Cherry Maple Pecan Cookies, and I said why not?! They sounded super delicious after all. Oatmeal […]
Vegan Chocolate Caramel Pecan Bread Pudding
Over the New Years holiday, we got a bit of snow and it was chilly for a few days before it warmed up again so I figured it was the perfect time to make some sweet comfort food. Not only that, why not make something delicious to celebrate?! I had a loaf of somewhat stale […]
Vegan Chocolate Peppermint Roll Cake
For Christmas this year I thought I would make a yule log. Because they are so festive and so pretty! But I have to admit, roll cakes are something that I like to make year round because to me they are easier than layer cakes but you get just as much delicious filling! I like […]
Vegan Winter Lentil Shepherd’s Pie
I made shepherd’s pie for Thanksgiving this year, and I might make it again for Christmas because I love it so much! It is a dish that takes a little bit of time and love so it is for special occasions. Since I tend to make quick recipes for dinner most of the time. I […]
Vegan Sugar Cookie Wreaths
I can’t believe Christmas is 2 weeks away! Where has the time gone this year? Also, it has been warmer here lately in Minnesota and we have no snow on the ground so it doesn’t seem like winter is on the doorstep. But I am still in a Christmas cookie baking mood! Baking a bunch […]
Vegan Pink Peppermint Truffles
I have been seeing lots of mint flavored treats around lately for the holiday season, and they all sound good to me so I thought I would make one of my own! I am not big on candy canes, but what I do love is the chocolate mint combo. So, I decided to […]
Gingerbread Granola
The Christmas music everywhere has begun! Not that it is a bad thing, it gets me in the mood for the season, and I have a few songs that I really like. But then there are the over-played ones with 5 different versions of the same song that I hear over and over on the […]
Mini Vegan Bourbon Pecan Tartlettes
This year for Thanksgiving instead of making one giant pie, I decided to make mini pecan tartlettes. My family really hasn’t had big gatherings for Thanksgiving in years, since my Grandparents stopped being able to host years ago so we have always tried to keep it simple. Now that both of my grandparents are now […]
Vegan Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake
For Thanksgiving, part of the tradition at my house is to always have some fabulous desserts. Pumpkin pie is traditional, but sometimes I like to switch it up a little bit with the pumpkin desserts. I made some pumpkin creme caramel before and pumpkin cakes, and this year I decided that a vegan pumpkin pie […]
Vegan Pumpkin Pie in a Mug
I love a good pumpkin pie. It is the essential fall dessert, and is actually somewhat healthy compared to many other pies (not that I always care, but I like to get my veggies in sometimes with dessert). I make it in some form every year whether it be mini ones, or a fancy larger […]
Chocolate Pecan Pie Cups
It was incredibly nice last weekend, so I didn’t spend much time in the kitchen. Instead, I spent lots out time outdoors, because how often is it 70F degrees in November?! But we got snapped back to reality yesterday when it rained all day, then today when it snowed a few inches, plus ice pellets. […]
Vegan Chocolate Pumpkin Cake Roll
October is over and I hadn’t baked any pumpkin cake yet this year! I made other pumpkin things like pumpkin bars and cookies but no cake, my favorite thing! It has been a bit busy this Fall, more busy than normal it seems for me. But it is being busy with all good things like […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cookies with Maple Glaze
In the deli I work in, we usually make pumpkin cookies. They are soft, with a maple glaze and just the right amount of pumpkin spices. I tried one years ago before I was vegan, and they were delicious! They are a seasonal item that is made every year, and everyone loves them! I have […]
Individual Vegan Apple Pies
I have been enjoying lots of apples lately since we went to the apple orchard a couple of weekends ago. Nothing beats a fresh Minnesota apple as far as I am concerned, especially for apple pie! I made some last week, because I have been craving it and finally had the time. My Mom always […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte Ice Cream
I know a lot of people hate all of the hype of pumpkin spice lattes, and I get it. There are many chain coffee shops that just use a mix that doesn’t even contain real pumpkin and isn’t that good. But once you have had one at a coffee shop that makes their own artisan […]
Vegan Apple Pie Cupcakes
The weather has been fabulous here lately, and I have really enjoyed getting out and enjoying the fall colors and activities. Last weekend we went for a hike along the St. Croix and then made a stop at Pleasant Valley Orchard to do some apple picking. I normally do this earlier in the season but […]
Vegan Caramel Apple Cobbler
I finally got my hands on some Minnesota grown apples. Although I love to just eat them, I really wanted to bake something with them as well. An apple pie sounded good, but then I also love crust-less things with a topping like an apple cobbler or apple crisp. I went with the cobbler, […]
Vegan Gingerbread Banana Bread
Last weekend Eric and I drove up north to Banning State Park in Minnesota to enjoy the fall colors, and it was honestly some of the most spectacular scenery I have seen this time of the year. The conditions seem to be just right this year, it stayed warm pretty long, and everything is vibrant […]
Vegan Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts
When Eric and I were walking through Target last week, some pumpkin pie pop tarts caught my eye. Now mind you, I have never really liked pop-tarts, I always thought they tasted sort of fake and not anything like real pastry with overly sweet filling. The only ones I would tolerate were […]
Vegan Pumpkin Bars
I bought my first can of pumpkin last week. I have been wanting to make something with pumpkin since the beginning of September which is considered pumpkin season start to me! I have made a few pumpkin spice lattes, but a dessert sounded nice. I will make a pumpkin pie later in the season, since […]
Butternut Squash, Chickpea and Kale Soup
The weather is starting to cool off here, I am seeing a touch of color starting on some of the maple trees, and I am getting the comfort food cravings. So I thought I would make some warming soup last week. We had a few rainy days here, and it was just the thing to […]
Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Latte Cookies
I have been really into coffee flavored things lately. I do love my oat milk lattes, but coffee is so amazing in desserts as well! Even when I was a kid, and I hated actual coffee I loved tiramisu and chocolates that were flavored with a little coffee. So I was excited when Raw Guru […]
Maple Pumpkin Seed Butter Cups
Pumpkin seed butter is something that is totally under appreciated. I actually really like it! Its lovely green color, slightly nutty flavor and rich texture! Raw Guru recently sent me some Dastony sprouted pumpkin seed butter and I was excited. I tend to get stuck in the rut of eating peanut butter and almond butter […]
Vegan Blueberry Sweet Rolls
We are at the tail end of summer, so I am enjoying all of the berry deliciousness that I can! Which includes desserts, and other creations besides just eating them plain. Like these vegan blueberry rolls! When we visited Eric’s Dad in July he sent us home with lots of his home […]
Vegan Cream Cheese Apple Pie Bars
I know it isn’t technically fall yet, but the weather has been feeling more like fall, and I am super excited about enjoying all of the delicious fall foods. Especially the sweet ones involving pumpkin apples and spices. I am looking forward to visiting the apple orchards soon! I was gifted some apples and was […]
Vegan White Mocha Truffles
When I was in high school, every Sunday after church my Mom and I would stop at a local coffee shop on the way home and pick up drinks. I started out with a dark chocolate mocha, then graduated to americanos later on. But my Mom always got the same thing every time. […]
Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake Dessert Hummus
I am a huge hummus fan. When Eric and I went on vacation last month, almost every day for lunch I would buy hummus and vegetables to dip in it for lunch and it made me so happy. They are not all created equally though, some are definitely better than others. We make a really […]
Flavor Fall! With Torani Sugar Free at Walmart
This post is sponsored by Torani but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. Fall is nearly here and that means it is time for all things fall themed like pumpkin spice lattes! Fall is my favorite season and I really look forward to sipping cozy drinks. Although I sometimes buy them at […]
Vegan Blueberry Vanilla Waffles
Last month when Eric and I visited his Dad in Michigan we went blueberry picking and ended up with loads of berries to bring home. I ate a bunch right away, but froze about half for using later, since I always like to have frozen fruit on hand for recipes. I have been wanting to […]
Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Roll Cake
Sometimes you just feel like making a really good chocolate cake. I was in that sort of mood last weekend. So I decided to make one. I had some raspberry jam on hand and I thought it would be perfect with a dark chocolate cake. I decided to make a roll cake, because a layer […]
Vegan Blackberry Almond Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies
When we visited Eric’s Dad last month, he gave us a bunch of his amazing jam. It is seriously some of the best jam I have ever tasted, made from local fruit he picks in his town in Michigan, and from his own garden. I love it plain or on toast, but it also inspired […]
Vegan Blackberry Crumble Pie
I haven’t had more than a few days of vacation here and there for at least two years. I have also been working all throughout the quarantine since I am an essential worker, so not a lot of time off then, so when I had an opportunity to go on a road trip vacation with […]
Vegan Mocha Roll Cake
I feel like my Birthday crept up on me this year. There has been so much crazy stuff going on, and so many changes, including my kitchen remodel that just wrapped up a couple weeks back (thank goodness) that I forget what month we are in. But I still decided to make a birthday cake […]
Vegan Vanilla Cake In a Mug
It was Friday, at the end of a long week, and I was in the mood for some cake. But I didn’t want to go through a lot of trouble to make it, because I also wanted to relax and enjoy, so I decided to make just one small cake for myself to enjoy that […]
Vegan PB and J Ice Cream Sandwiches
It has been quite steamy outside here in Minnesota lately, so it is the perfect time to enjoy cool treats like ice cream! I have been wanting to make some, and Eric and I had been watching a video on YouTube about this place that makes all sorts of different ice cream sandwiches, and it […]
BBQ Lentil Sloppy Joes
When I was a kid, sloppy joes were a staple at just about every summer gathering or party that I went to. Most likely because they were great for making in a crock pot and having ready ahead of time, and everyone loved them. They actually weren’t my favorite most of the time unless someone […]
Vegan White Chocolate Mango Raspberry Cheesecake
I can’t believe it is already July! Time has flown this year with all that is going on, and I feel a bit out of sorts as to what month it is lately since I am not in my usual routine. I haven’t done much cooking and baking lately because my kitchen has […]
S. Pellegrino Essenza
This post is sponsored by S.Pellegrino Essenza but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. Staying home for dinner does not have to be boring, it can be exciting and fun with the right meal and beverages! Yes, you could go pick up takeout and I admit that I have a few times, […]
Vegan Maple Oatmilk Latte Popsicles
One of my favorite things lately is an iced oatmilk maple latte. Ever since I had one at a local coffee shop in Minneapolis called Dogwood Coffee back at the end of May. It was the first time the shop had opened back up after all of the quarantine closures and I could not wait […]
Vegan Strawberry Shortcakes
If you grew up in the 80s or early 90s, then you probably remember Strawberry Shortcake. I loved strawberry shortcake. In fact, I wished I could be her at one point, living in a giant strawberry with my pets and baking things. I had the strawberry shortcake movie when I was little and I would […]
Vegan Double Chocolate Almond Butter Cookies
A while back, in the deli I work in, we got almond butter shipped to us instead of tahini. Since we were unable to return it, and I am the vegan baker there, I suggested we make some almond butter cookies with it! We didn’t really have any other recipes that we could use it […]
Vegan Blue Moon Truffles
When I was little, my Dad and I would go on a trip up to northern Minnesota every year, and the town we would stay in had this awesome little ice cream shop. They had the most delicious ice cream I had ever had up to that point in life. Flavors like blueberry […]
PB and J Chocolate Chip Energy Bites
In case you are wondering why I haven’t been posting as many new recipes lately, it is because my kitchen is in the process of being remodeled and I have had limited access to it off and on. Which makes me a little less motivated to make anything that can’t be made in the instant […]
Vegan Broccoli Cheddar Mac and Cheese
Who doesn’t love mac and cheese?! Growing up, I pretty much lived off of things with cheese like grilled cheese, or mac and cheese. Not that I was picky or anything, but I just loved them so much and would ask my parents if I could have them often. I can still enjoy […]
Vegan Lilac White Chocolate Mousse Tarts
Lilacs are one of my favorite things about Spring. I mean yes, it is nice that the weather is warm again, or that I don’t have to wear a coat and the grass is green, but lilacs just make me so happy. I mean tulips are awesome, and pretty but lilacs have that heavenly aroma […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Mocha Brownies
Nobody can be in a bad mood while baking brownies. Which is why when I am feeling a bit out of sorts, I like to bake some. Which is exactly what I did a few days back after work, because I needed a nice little pick me up. Plus they just sounded good. I have […]
Dark Chocolate Lavender Truffles
I have been a bit stressed lately due to my my kitchen being remodeled, stuff going on in my personal life, and the change of routine that came with all of this Covid 19 business. There has just been a whole lot going on lately, and being someone that doesn’t do well […]
Vegan Vanilla and Chocolate Pancake Cereal
I don’t know about you, but I am always drooling over other people’s food photos on Instagram. One of the latest crazes that caught my eye was the pancake cereal I have seen a few people make. I love pancakes, so it looked like it was right up my alley! I was also kind of […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Granola
I made a chocolate peanut butter roll cake last week, and it was so good that I am keeping the chocolate peanut butter theme going. Not with a dessert this time though, with a delicious snack! My last batch of granola was running low, and it is something that I need to keep in my […]
Vegan Raspberry Swirled Chocolate Cheesecake
Cheesecake has to be my all time favorite dessert! Even before I was vegan I would make it or buy it a lot. There is just something so crave worthy about the creamy rich texture, and I love that I can make whatever flavor I am craving at the time. I have over […]
Veggie Lentil Soup
It is so weird to think that 15 years ago I really didn’t eat any lentils, or even know how to prepare them. I now love them and make them at least several times a week, usually in soup form. Last weekend I felt like a classic lentil soup, not a chili, or a curry […]
Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Roll Cake
I was craving chocolate cake last week, but I didn’t want a layer cake, so I made a rolled one! It may sound harder to make a rolled cake, but it is actually easier and faster once you get the hang of it. Plus you don’t have to frost anything perfectly which is nice sometimes. […]
Vegan Poppy Seed Rolls
Sweet rolls are for lazy weekend mornings, and days off. So I decided to make some on my day off last Monday. I know a lot of you may be feeling like there are a lot more of them lately with everything being shut down, so why not make some sweet rolls? They always […]
Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies
We went through a brief snowy cold week in Minnesota, and I didn’t know whether it was winter or spring for a minute. So I have been wanting to make some desserts and spend a bit of time in the kitchen in my free time instead of just being outside and I also haven’t been […]
Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Pop Tarts
I loved Nutella as a kid. I remember thinking it was pretty awesome that I could have chocolate on toast for breakfast (because it pretty much just tasted like chocolate with not much nut flavor since it is so sugary). It is pretty much dessert after all. My Mom wouldn’t let me eat it […]
Vegan Black Sesame Maple Ice Cream
I am a big tahini lover, I like to keep some on hand at all times for recipes both sweet and savory, or just for drizzling over things and snacking on. We have a giant tub of it in the deli I work in for making things like hummus, and one time my coworker stated […]
Vegan Lemon Cream Pie
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend! Saturday we had beautiful warm weather here, but for Easter Sunday it was snowing and just pretty slushy and cold which was a bit weird, but it didn’t stop me from getting outside for a walk with Eric in the afternoon. It was a bit […]
Broccoli Almond Apple Slaw
I don’t know why everyone throws all of their broccoli stems away and just keeps the flowrettes, honestly the stems are the most delicious sweet part of the broccoli in my opinion! So, when I was making a big broccoli salad the other day at work and had a lot of stalks bound for the […]
Vegan Banana Caramel Rolls
Easter is coming up next weekend, and although it will be a little different this year, me and my family will still be enjoying good food. Honestly, most years we go out to dinner for Easter, so it will be nice to make some of the traditional things I enjoyed growing up and share with […]
Vegan Chocolate Banana Cream Pie
About 10 years ago, there was a really good local upscale restaurant (that has sadly since closed) that my Mom and I would visit often, and they had amazing banana cream pie. I can’t say that I had eaten much banana cream pie before I had it there, but after I had tried it, I […]
Vegan Raspberry Chocolate Eggs
I loved Easter candy as a kid. Those pastel wrappers and fun varieties of candy I couldn’t get the rest of the year, I loved opening up my Easter eggs from the hunt and finding out what was in them. One of the Easter candies I got most excited for were the raspberry […]
Tahini Lemon Broccoli Pasta
I know a lot of people are ordering takeout with the whole Coronavirus going on, but that hasn’t been the case with me. We usually do takeout instead of delivery if we are going to do something like that, but only for a special occasion like my Mom’s birthday coming up, since we can’t go […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Eggs
I used to get excited about Easter candy growing up. Those pretty pastel wrappers, and getting to enjoy things I didn’t the rest of the year like Robin’s Eggs malted milk balls, raspberry cream eggs, and Reese’s peanut butter eggs. I wasn’t a big fan of those big jelly beans though, they had a weird […]
Vegan Pistachio Lemon White Chocolate Chunk Cookies
This whole social distancing thing isn’t so bad for an introvert like me. I can still do most of the activities I normally do, like going for bike rides, walks and runs outside, doing art like painting at home, and of course baking things. As long as I can still be close to my family […]
Classic Vegan Carrot Cake
Spring is finally here! Well, calendar wise at least, it is still a bit chilly but there are glimpses of it with the pussy willows popping out along the pond, and a few plants starting to sprout out of the ground, plus of course the longer days. After winter I am all about anything over […]
Vegan Maple Pecan French Toast Casserole
I always loved french toast growing up. Even though it is something that is supposed to be made with leftover stale dry bread, I always thought it was special because I didn’t get to have it often. Yet, we always had the ingredients on hand. I thought that when I went vegan it would be […]
Vegan Matcha Chocolate Bars with Cacao Nibs
St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow, and although it doesn’t feel so much like it this year due to the virus going around and events being cancelled, I still like to enjoy some festive stuff at home so I made some green chocolate bars! I like to try to stay positive. And even if we can’t […]
Grandma’s Banana Bread Veganized
My Mom made the best banana bread when I was little. It was my Great Grandma’s recipe, passed down to my Grandma, then to my Mom. Written out on a recipe card, from a time long before we could look up recipes online. I have tried many different kinds, we often had some at church […]
Vegan Peppermint Marble Cake
St. Patrick’s day is less than 2 weeks away, so it is the perfect time to make all things green. Especially fun desserts. Cakes are my favorite. So even though I made a green cheesecake last week, I decided to make another different green cake this week. Last year I made a peppermint vanilla cake […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Orange Brownies
I have been loving the combination of chocolate and orange lately. I recently made some Chocolate Orange Hazelnut Cupcakes and they were so good, so I wanted more of that chocolate orange flavor combo. I was in the mood for some brownie baking last weekend, so it seemed like the perfect time to use it […]
Vegan Grasshopper Cheesecake
When I was a kid, my Mom and I used to go to this local diner that had the best grasshopper malts. I loved those things. Smooth peppermint ice cream base, with gooey chocolate fudge, it was totally heavenly! So sometimes now, I like to create desserts with those same flavors. I have […]
Raspberry Rose White Chocolate Latte
Everyone has those little thing in life that make them happy. For me, one of those things lately is lattes. Every weekend Eric and I stop and get a latte of some sort at a local coffee shop. Sometimes it is just a plain oatmilk latte, other times a little something added like a hint […]
Vegan Caramel Oatmeal Cookie Sandwiches
My Mom asked me last weekend if I could make some date bars in cookie form. Like the oatmeal mixture on the outside and date caramel in the center. We decided that making some oatmeal caramel cookie sandwiches were in order. I have always loved oatmeal sandwich cookies. Ever since I had those oatmeal cream […]
Orange Kale Salad
Spring is on the horizon, it has been warm and sunny here lately with the snow rapidly melting and lovely outside. I have been trying to get out for a walk everyday and it is nice that now when I get home from work it is still light outside. Even though citrus season is almost […]
Vegan Chocolate Orange Hazelnut Cupcakes
Chocolate and oranges are a match made in heaven. My Mom used to buy dark chocolate oranges, shaped like an actual orange with sections when I was little and I thought they were the coolest thing ever. I mean chocolate is already the coolest, but make it shaped like and orange with orange flavor, even […]
Vegan Tagalong Cookies
Tis’ the season for Girl Scout cookies. I used to love them growing up, especially the Samoas and Tagalongs, but my Dad always bought the Thin Mints as well. So now as an adult, I like to make my own home made versions. I know there are vegan Girl Scout cookies but I would rather […]
Vegan Banana Bread Granola
Store bought granola has nothing on home made. It is so much fun picking your own flavors and ingredients. Although I have my favorites, I try to switch it up a lot according to what I have on hand and try new things. I always keep a bag of granola in my pantry at all […]
Vegan Vanilla Berry Rose Doughnuts
Since it is Valentine’s week, I am using that as an excuse to make all things pink and girly. Yes, that includes making cards and whatnot, but desserts are part of that too. I had already made some chocolate, so it was time to whip up something else so I have a nice variety. I […]
Vegan Raspberry Pistachio “Milk” Chocolate Bars
I have been seeing lots of ads for vegan chocolate bars online that look amazing. But unfortunately I can’t afford to buy them right now, because they are a bit over my budget this month, and the shipping price is pretty high. So, I decided to make my own instead! I actually have some cool […]
Vegan Vanilla Cake
I can’t believe that I started this blog 10 years ago. Although it didn’t really start as a blog. It started out as a way to share my recipes all in one place, somewhere other than just in my Facebook notes. I was experimenting with new recipes all the time, and sharing the good ones. […]
40+ Vegan Valentine’s Day Desserts
Desserts are an essential part of Valentine’s Day as far as I am concerned. My first good memories of the holiday were of bringing goodies and cute little cards to school to exchange with classmates, and Grandma giving me heart shaped boxes of chocolates. I was all about the chocolate, conversation hearts were cute, but […]
Vegan Tiramisu Cheesecake
The first time I ever tried tiramisu was at an Italian restaurant with my Mom when we were on a family vacation. I wasn’t a huge fan of coffee at the time, but it still sounded interesting so I ordered some. It was fabulous! Layers of soft cakey lady fingers with a hint […]
Vegan Creamy Potato Leek Soup
When I was little, one time when my Mom and I were out shopping on a Saturday, we stopped at this restaurant that I considered a little bit fancy at the time. Fancy was anything with ingredients I couldn’t pronounce or where the wait staff wore nice uniforms. They had a leek soup on the […]
Vegan Chocolate Football Cookies
My favorite football team the Minnesota Vikings were eliminated a few weeks ago from the Superbowl running, but I will still be watching because it is tradition, and I do love Superbowl food like nachos and cauliflower wings plus watching all of the interesting commercials! Also I decided to make some cute football cookies. Because […]
Vegan Raspberry Chocolate Chunk Bread Pudding
When I have a lovely loaf of crusty bread, there are two things I love doing most with it. Enjoying it with soup so I can dunk it in and soak up the goodness, and making bread pudding. I usually end up doing both if it is a large loaf and I have enough. I […]
Vegan Chocolate Almond Mousse Tarts
I am in a chocolate dessert sort of mood lately. Maybe it is because Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and chocolate just feels right, or because eating chocolate seems to make me forget about winter. Anyways, I decided that I needed something chocolaty last week, and since I had already recently made brownies […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Sweet Rolls
I have made classic caramel rolls, and cinnamon rolls but I thought I would make something a little different last weekend as far as rolls went because I am always open to trying new things when it comes to making recipes! I has some of Eric’s Dad’s home made jam and I thought […]
