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 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 […]
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 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 Gingerbread Roll Cake
I made some gingerbread cookies a few weeks back, and ever since then I have been craving the flavor in the form of cake. Not that there is anything wrong with cookies, but I am a cake kind of girl! I was thinking a gingerbread layer cake with vegan “cream cheese” frosting, revamping one of […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling
Cake rolls and jelly roll cakes were something that intimidated me for a long time growing up. So for a long time I was scared to make one, until finally a couple of years ago I made a vegan chocolate chestnut yule log for Christmas and it wasn’t that bad. In fact, it turned out […]
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 Strawberry Cream Cheese
My Mom recently wanted me to try some vegan strawberry cream cheese that she had bought, because it was from a brand that had really good vegan ricotta that we both liked. I tried the cream cheese, but I thought it was just ok. It had kind of a weird aftertaste, and not enough strawberry […]
Vegan Black Bottom Cupcakes
When I was little, my Mom would bake some pretty amazing things. Mostly things that were passed down from my Grandma or from the old church cookbooks. Things like 7 layer bars, banana chocolate chip bread, or black bottom cupcakes. Black bottom cupcakes were amazing, especially to my 8 year old self. If you haven’t […]
Vegan Strawberry Lemon Cream Cheese Galette
It is the little things in life that make me happy. For instance, when I went out for a run on Friday I was a bit tired and sluggish, but my spirits were quickly lifted. The lilacs were starting to bloom. Let me tell you, that is one of my favorite times of the […]
Vegan Pumpkin Patch Coffeecake
When I was little, my Mom found this delicious Fall coffeecake recipe in the local newspaper, and she made it her own by adding oats to the topping, extra spices and swapping out a portion of the oil with more pumpkin. I always looked forward to it, it was so good! Like something that you […]
Cinnamon Sugar Yam Fries with “Cream Cheese” Dipping Sauce
Yam fries are my bacon. As in, I love them so much I can’t stop eating them. We make them at my work, and of course I always have to sample them every time to make sure they are up to par. It is funny because when I was younger I couldn’t have cared less […]
Vegan Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffeecake
The Minnesota State Fair has been going on the past few weeks, and it seems like everyone in the state is headed out there. I know most people go there to eat food, but in the past, I have mostly gone to look at stuff. I love looking at the giant prize winning vegetables and […]
Vegan Cream Cheese Plum Galette
I love making (and eating mostly) fruit pies, but I am also lazy at times. Don’t get me wrong, I am a really hard worker when it comes to running, or work or things I said I would do for other people, but when it comes to pie, and it is a weeknight, I will […]
Vegan Raspberry Rhubarb Cream Cheese Pie
I got a bunch of rhubarb from my Dad’s garden recently and made some strawberry rhubarb wine, but I decided that a dessert featuring rhubarb sounded really good as well. I usually just go with the classic strawberry rhubarb combination, probably because one of my favorite things growing up was when my Grandma made strawberry […]
Vegan White Chocolate Grapefruit Cake
New Years Eve deserves a special cake, so I knew I wanted to make one, but I wasn’t quite sure what kind. Sometimes my brain is a crazy snow globe with all of my recipe ideas floating around in it at once, getting tangled up with the other things going on in my life. I […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cream Cheese Pie
I can not believe how beautiful it has been here lately! It was 60F degrees yesterday, and normally it is 40. I will take it, the snow will fly here soon enough! It is Minnesota after all. So, I took full advantage yesterday, a nice 10 mile run to enjoy the beautiful morning and rising […]
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 […]
Vegan Blueberry Cream Cheese Galettes
I hope you all had a good weekend, I certainly did! Usually every year I go to the Minnesota State Fair, but Eric and I are both not wishing to spend a lot of money lately and it ends up costing a lot, so we decided to go on another fun outing instead. What […]
Mini Vegan Cinnamon Sugar Cream Cheese Bundt Cakes
Eric gave me a mini bundt cake pan as one of my Christmas presents, and I was just dying to use it right away to make something delicious. I love the look of bundt cakes, they are beautiful, classic, and many bundt cake pans come from Minnesota since Nordicware is located here. So they are […]
