Vegan Carrot Cake Waffles
When I was little, I loved it when my Mom would make Belgian waffles. They were light and fluffy and so delicious! She made a recipe that used egg whites folded into the batter and they always came out just right. Now as an adult I still enjoy making waffles, and make them quite a […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
As soon as September hits, I am all about the pumpkin goodies! I love fall and all of it’s delicious treats, it is my favorite season! So last weekend I decided to make some Vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls! Because they just sounded so good! There is nothing like a nice soft cinnamon scented roll with […]
Vegan Blueberry Lavender Waffles
We just returned from our yearly road trip in celebration of our wedding anniversary and this year on the last day of our trip we visited a blueberry farm Rush River Produce in Maiden Rock Wisconsin and a near by lavender farm Lavender Bluff farm in Stockholm Wisconsin (these are in south eastern […]
Vegan Marbled Banana Coffeecake with Pistachio Streusel
Having over ripe bananas is always fun, because it allows me to think of something interesting to make with them! Banana bread is a go to but I thought I’d be a little more creative when I had some recently and make some Vegan Banana Marble Coffeecake with Pistachio Streusel! It turned out so yummy […]
Vegan Strawberry Lemon Scones
I used to work at a natural foods store that made all of their baked goods from scratch. They made the best scones, that were very popular with the customers, and we would always make different flavors. I learned how to make them from a lady that worked there before me, and then came […]
Vegan Raspberry Vanilla Sweet Rolls
I’ve always loved fluffy sweet rolls with fluffy frosting on top. Of course cinnamon rolls are the classic, it’s hard to beat a good cinnamon roll, but I love them with fruit in the filling as well. Especially for a lazy weekend morning you can’t go wrong with fresh sweet rolls. So last weekend when […]
Vegan Banana Bread Muffins
Banana bread has always been my go to for over ripe bananas on the counter. My Mom used to make my Grandma’s recipe for it, which I then veganized and it is always so good! I switch up the add ins, sometimes I will just make it plain, sometimes with chocolate chips, sometimes with nuts […]
Vegan Samoa Doughnuts
Samoas were always my favorite Girl Scout cookies growing up, what’s not to love about a vanilla cookie with chewy caramel, coconut and chocolate?! So now I love making desserts with that same flavor profile. I have made cakes, cupcakes, replica cookies, granola, energy balls. This time I decided to make Vegan Samoa Doughnuts! I […]
Vegan Strawberry Monkey Bread
I have always loved monkey bread! My Grandma used to make it, and it was always one of my favorite treats, especially warm from the oven all gooey and caramelly. Classic monkey bread is a pull apart bread with a sweet buttery caramel coating the pieces of bread and sometimes crunchy nuts (my Grandma […]
Strawberry Granola
I love home made granola! It is so easy to make, and so much better than store bought that since I started making my own I have never gone back. I love that I can create my own flavors as well! The only problem with it is that when I have a pan of […]
Vegan Chai Spiced Cinnamon Rolls
One of my favorite things to bake on a lazy weekend morning is cinnamon rolls. I was recently craving them so I decided to whip some up on the weekend! There is nothing I enjoy more sometimes than an oatmilk latte and a sweet baked treat, and cinnamon rolls are perfect with coffee! I […]
Vegan Pumpkin Maple Date Granola
You can feel fall in the air even if it is not technically fall yet. The overly hot days are gone, replaced with cool mornings and moderate temperatures. I love it though! This is my favorite time of year and running outside on a cool morning is refreshing! I have also gotten into baking fall […]
Vegan Peach Muffins
One of my favorite things to eat on weekends when I was little were muffins that my Dad made. Yes, they happened to come from a box, but there is just something so delicious about fresh baked muffins on a lazy weekend morning! I loved muffins in general as a kid. I would eat the […]
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 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 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 […]
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 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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
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 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 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 […]
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 […]
Vegan Banana Hazelnut Chocolate Pancakes
When you get a bunch of free bananas, you make banana goodies. Or freeze them for smoothies, but I already had some in the freezer so I made some banana bread pudding earlier this week, and then these banana hazelnut chocolate chip pancakes this weekend. I guess I am in the mood for brunchy banana […]
Vegan Banana Bread Pudding with Caramel
I was gifted some really good sourdough bread and decided that it would be lovely in some bread pudding. I had made some pumpkin bread pudding a few months back with some sourdough bread and it was amazing and I have been wanting to make more ever since. It was perfect timing! I didn’t want […]
Vegan Sweet Potato Waffles
Do you ever just scroll through people’s food photos on Instagram and just get really hungry? I totally do, and I saw some waffles a few days back on someone’s feed that looked amazing. I told myself, you have to make waffles soon! It had been too long, and they just sounded really good. Well, […]
Vegan Sweet Potato “Cream Cheese” Muffins
Pumpkin has been getting all the love around here, I am not going to lie, I admit I get a little obsessed in the fall, since I am pumpkin deprived the rest of the year and it is one of my all time favorite things. But you know what else is my favorite thing? Sweet […]
Vegan Pumpkin Caramel Rolls
Last weekend we drove up to Duluth MN and Gooseberry Falls State Park for the day, since I took some vacation from work and those are some of my favorite places to visit. It is about a 2 hour drive to Duluth and another hour up to the park, so as you can imagine we […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Granola
Fall is officially here, so I had to make something pumpkin spice. I know everyone makes fun of people that like pumpkin spice and pumpkin spice lattes and whatnot, and while I agree that some things should not be pumpkin spice flavored (like certain savory items), most pumpkin spice is darn delicious and I love […]
Vegan Pear Spice Doughnuts with “Cream Cheese” Glaze
At one of the apple orchards that we always used to go to growing up, they always made these cinnamon sugar doughnuts that you could smell from far away because they always seemed to have the aroma venting out of the building as if to entice you to buy one. I never did end up […]
Vegan Apple Streusel Muffins
I made apple scones earlier last week, and when I still had apples on hand, I decided that I needed to make some more apple goodies. I usually make apple crisps and apple pies and that sort of thing but this time muffins sounded good. I don’t make them often after all, and I was […]
Vegan Maple Apple Scones
The deli I have worked at for over 13 years has always made scones. Everyone says that they are the best scones around, and I have to agree, because before I went vegan 7 years ago had tried them. They were tender and flakey, just the right amount of sweetness, and not dry and heavy […]
Vegan Maple Cinnamon Rolls
Nothing beats the aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls. It is such a happy smell, and one can not possibly be in a bad mood when exposed to the heavenly scent! At least I can’t. I have always loved them, since I was a little kid. I used to like it when my Mom made […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Banana Muffins
Last weekend we took a trip up north to Duluth and we had to stop at a couple of gas stations along the way. I don’t usually pay attention to much in a gas station besides where the bathroom is on a road trip, but while I was in there some giant muffins caught my […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Dark Chocolate Pop Tarts
So last weekend I decided to make some chocolate peanut butter pop tarts. I know I just made raspberry pop tarts last week, but a friend asked me if I could make some involving chocolate too, so I couldn’t resist making them again. The other ones were so good after all and I did love […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
Vegan Chocolate Strawberry Scones
I am so happy it is finally getting comfortably warm outside! Eric and I went for a walk in the afternoon around the Stone Arch area of Minneapolis last weekend and it was so warm that I wore shorts and a tank top and was even sweating a little despite the breeze. Let me tell […]
Vegan Matcha Waffles
I am obsessed with matcha tea. I drink it every day at work in chilled form unadorned, and on the weekends I like to enjoy a matcha latte at a coffee shop. It is my treat lately since I usually make stuff like that at home, but I do enjoy when someone else makes it […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Banana Bread
Having over ripe bananas on your counter is a blessing as far as I am concerned. You can freeze them and use them for smoothies, or of course do some baking. There are so many things you can make! But I decided to go for an old classic banana bread when I had some ripe […]
Vegan Lavender Lemon Waffles
When I was little, my Mom made waffles for lunch or dinner more often than for breakfast. It makes sense to me, why not make them at night during the week when you have time to enjoy them, or for lunch on a weekend if you have things going on in the morning? So now […]
Vegan Mocha Almond Chocolate Waffle Cake
When we get to the end of the year, sometimes I decide that I need to make a recipe that I have had in my head for a while, yet never got around to making. Well, this year it was a waffle cake. I have been wanting to make a waffle cake since last year […]
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 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 Pumpkin Spice Waffles
When I do recipe experiments, they don’t always turn out perfect. In fact sometimes they are fantastic flops. Like when I tried to make pumpkin waffles about a month ago. I was all excited to make them, and the batter looked good and all but turned out that it was way to sticky and it […]
Vegan Maple Pecan Scones
The deli I work in makes the most delicious smelling scones. I say delicious smelling because I have never actually tasted them since they aren’t vegan. I don’t actually bake at work, surprising I know considering my blog. But it keeps making desserts and baked goods enjoyable to me. I am the one who makes […]
Vegan Snickerdoodle Crepes with Caramelized Apples
I had never tasted a snickerdoodle cookie until I was about 16 years old. Surprising I know, I had tried most of the other classics, like chocolate chip, sugar, oatmeal, spice cookies, almond cookies etc. But never the snickerdoodle. I tried one for the first time at a little coffee shop at a ski lodge […]
Vegan Marble Cake Waffles
I have recipe fails sometimes. Like once I made a mac and cheese (before I went vegan, back in college) and it was supposed to be souffle like and baked and it ended up tasting so horrible with a bad texture I just threw it away because I couldn’t bear to eat it let alone […]
Vegan Strawberry Pop-Tarts
I was kind of a picky eater when I was little when it came to normal quick breakfast foods. I didn’t like cereal or milk, I didn’t like oatmeal (which is funny because now, that is what I eat, and I have done so for the last 15 years), and I wasn’t much for regular […]
Strawberry Jalapeno Jam
My Grandma did lots of preserving fruits and vegetables through canning. My favorite was the strawberry jam it was so good! I mean, I don’t think anything can compare to home made berry jam. Maybe that is why my Dad always bought strawberry jam when I was little, because his Mom made it for him […]
Vegan Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
The other day at work I was cutting up some zucchini for a recipe, and I thought to myself, chocolate zucchini bread or zucchini muffins sound really good. I haven’t made any zucchini desserts for a really long time, I think since I was writing my cookbook “Just Vegan Cakes” and I made a chocolate […]
German Chocolate Granola
When I was little, granola was something that I thought hippies made or something that was brought along on camping trips. But the truth is I had never actually tried it and it just looked like something healthy to me. At that point in my life I wasn’t into “healthy” foods made with whole grains […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Pancakes
I am a peanut butter and chocolate fanatic. I even have a round up of 30+ Vegan Chocolate and Peanut Butter Recipes! Growing up, Reese’s peanut butter cups were my all time favorite candy, and now my own home made peanut butter cups are. It is just an irresistible combination! So a few days back […]
Vegan Carrot Cake Scones
The arrival of Spring has me in the mood for carrot cake. Because to me, it is the quintessential Spring dessert. I mean, it is perfect for Easter celebrations, and carrots first come into season this time of the year (well not for a while in Minnesota, but in other parts of the country). I […]
Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Scones
In the deli I work in, they make a lot of baked goods. My work station is right next to the cooling rack, so I get to enjoy the aroma of freshly baked sweets all day long, and I admit it is certainly a mood booster. Happy smells. That is why I love baking so […]
Vegan Caramel Apple Pancakes
As far as I am concerned, last weekend was the perfect Fall weekend here in Minnesota. Cool and 40F degrees in the AM, which is perfect for running through the crunchy leaves (one of my favorite parts of fall), and 70F degrees and sunny in the afternoon, which is ideal weather for visiting the local […]
Vegan Blueberry Pop-Tarts
Pop-tarts were all the rage when I was little. I remember a few of my friends bringing them to school for a snack every morning, and begging my Mom to get some. My Mom let me get some, but I wasn’t allowed to have too many, because she tried to get me to eat healthier. […]
Vegan Blueberry Peach Anise Scones
Have you ever been to a coffee shop or bakery, bought a scone, and it tasted dry, crumbly and just sugary without much other flavor? Well, I have. Honestly, I thought that I did not like scones at all until I started working at my job in the deli and was taught by one of […]
Vegan Citrus Margarita Pancakes with So Delicious and Kitchen I.Q.
This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. Pancakes are always good, no matter what meal you decide to make them for. When I was younger my Mom used to make them for dinner sometimes, and I loved it! Because I was never going to turn down pancakes. Especially when fresh fruit was […]
Vegan Chocolate Quinoa Pancakes
I always think it is funny listening to people try to pronounce the word quinoa for the first time. “Qhinwah? Keenohah? Keen-way? I am not sure how to say it…” We have all been there honestly, and it is hard to pronounce for first timers. I first started making it when I started working at […]
Chocolate Chia Crunch Granola and Coconut Yogurt Parfait
There was a time in my life before I went vegan that I ate yogurt every afternoon for a snack topped off with fruit. I was a huge yogurt eater, because I figured it was packed with protein. I always bought Greek yogurt in a big tub, because I liked how thick it was, and […]
Raw Seed and Fruit Energy Bars
At the deli I work in, we make birdseed bars, and they always smell so good to me while baking, and the ingredients smell good, but they are not vegan. They have honey in them, and that may not seem like a big deal to some, but it is to me, because once you learn […]
Sweet Potato Pie Chia Porridge
I love sweet potatoes so much, I eat them almost every day. Funny, because there was a time in my life when I did not care for them. Back when I thought they all came in cans with syrup (I was a kid), because that was the only way I had been served them. On […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Banana pancakes were one of the first vegan recipes I made back in the day. The Summer I was teaching myself to cook, and I had gotten a bunch of vegetarian and vegan cookbooks from the library to page through. I was a pretty new vegetarian with not much cooking experience but I wanted to […]
Mini Vegan Coconut Orange Sweet Rolls
When I was little, sometimes my Mom would buy take and bake sweet rolls. I know everyone’s favorite is the caramel or cinnamon variety usually, but she would buy the orange, and add coconut to them to jazz them up a bit. Now they may have been store bought rolls, but they were super delicious […]
Vegan Gingerbread Waffles
It was below zero yesterday, and all I could think about all day at work was getting warm when I got home. I work in a kitchen, so you would think it would be warm there, but not so much when the drafts come in from the front of the store. I even used my […]
Vegan Gingerbread Crepes
Thanksgiving has come and gone, so that means Christmas, Christmas everywhere! Pretty soon you won’t be able to go anywhere without hearing Christmas music, or seeing festive decorations. Sometimes I think people go a little overboard, with big decorations but you know what? Whatever makes them happy! My Mom was always kind of a minimalist […]
Mini Vegan Sweet Potato Pecan Sweet Rolls
This is the time of the year when I like to spend more time baking delicious things in the kitchen! I still venture outside even though it may be snowy to go for my runs, and it is kind of exhilarating to exercise in the cold air, but coming home to a warm kitchen is […]
Vegan Pumpkin “Cream Cheese” Muffins
Many times when I am at work, I am inspired by the delicious baked goods that my coworkers make. I like to go home and veganize and healthify (somewhat) them. So, they have been making these pumpkin muffins with cream cheese filling lately and they always look amazing. Not only that, they smell amazing, and […]
Autumn Quinoa Breakfast Porridge
We have this Summer berry quinoa salad in the deli I work in, and it is super popular. It is a sweet salad with creamy coconut milk, and fresh berries, and I always have said to myself, it would make a good breakfast. And told myself that I would make it at home. Well, Summer […]
Giant Vegan Oven Pancake with Sauteed Pluots
Sometimes you just want pancakes, but don’t want to slave over a hot stove flipping them. If that is you, read on. It is definitely me, because I have other stuff to do sometimes! When I was younger my Mom would make oven pancakes in a pie dish or skillet and they were always delicious. […]
Vegan Blueberry Muffin Cake
Blueberry muffins remind me of lazy Saturday mornings. When I was little, I would beg my Dad to let me help him make them. It wasn’t that difficult…considering we used the ones from a box. My Dad did not inherit my Grandma’s baking skills. But I still loved the muffins anyhow. Especially when still warm […]
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Pancakes
I have been in the mood for chocolate chip cookies lately for some reason. Maybe it is the fact that at the deli I work in, my station is next to the baked goods cooling rack and those darn cookies cooling smell sooo good! They are not vegan, so I am never tempted to steal […]
