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 Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Fall is in full swing, the trees are so beautiful with all of their warm colors and dropping their leaves like confetti and I am all about the pumpkin treats right now! Last weekend I decided I needed to make a pumpkin dessert, and I was craving chocolate chip cookies, so I thought I would […]
Vegan Maple Apple Crisp
It definitely feels like fall is here now, and so I had to make an apple crisp with the apples we bought at the orchard recently! Apple crisp is one of the essential fall recipes as far as I am concerned. When I was little, I remember coming home from school many times in the […]
Vegan Maple Apple Spice Cake
Since fall is finally here, and apple season is in full swing, I am all about the apple baked goods lately. It is the perfect time to do some baking now that it is cooling down a little outside. I was really craving some spice cake, so last weekend I decided to bake a Vegan […]
Vegan Maple Pecan Ice Cream
It might be almost fall, but I am still completely in the mood for ice cream! It is still hot here after all, and I love ice cream year round even if it wasn’t. I decided last weekend I wanted to make some of my own home made ice cream, because it sounded good and […]
Vegan Apple Crumb Cake
It’s starting to cool down here slightly, the days are getting shorter and I can tell fall is knocking on the door. Apple season is here and I couldn’t be more excited! I love fall and all of the goodies that come with it involving apple, pear and pumpkin! I picked up some apples last […]
Spiced Pumpkin Seed Brittle
I love making peanut brittle around the holidays. I remember my Grandparents always had peanut brittle around during Christmas and enjoying it as a kid. I like to make it now around Christmas, and I plan on doing it this year. But this Fall I thought some Spiced Pumpkin Seed Brittle would be delicious! Why […]
Warm Vegan Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cakes
I love a good pumpkin cake, whether it be a layer cake a loaf cake or cupcakes! There is just something so quintessentially fall about it and enjoying baking it in your kitchen while relaxing on a crisp cool day! I was craving some pumpkin cake last weekend and I wanted something simple so 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 […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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 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 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 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 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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
Rutabaga and Yam Fries with Garlic Dipping Sauce
One of my all time favorite things we make at the deli I work at is sweet potato or yam fries. They are so simple but so good. So, often times I will make them at home. I call them my bacon, because they are to me what bacon is to meat eaters. Hard to […]
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 Butternut Squash and Chickpea Chowder
We are full swing into soup season, and in the deli I work in it is just flying out of the pots because it is the most popular thing we have right now. I mean, I don’t blame people, I go home and eat warming soup too this time of the year most nights. You […]
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 Apple Pie Cookies
Last Sunday Eric and I visited the apple orchard with our friends. It pretty much tradition for every Minnesotan to do so (well at least everyone I know). Plus, Sunday was a beautiful fall day and the trees are at their peak colors so it was the perfect day to visit. Also, it has been […]
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 Bread Pudding with Caramel
Earlier this week, a coworker shared some of her home made sourdough bread with me. It was amazing. I am super picky when it comes to bread. It has to be a crusty bread, with good texture (I do not like regular sandwich bread unless it is toasted), and a good chew to it. I […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies
I don’t know about you, but I can’t get enough of pumpkin goodies this year. I like apple treats and Halloween candy too, and I have been making those as well this October, but pumpkin seems to be the favorite. Thank goodness for canned pumpkin though! Back in the day, I used to like to […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte Mix
I am not much of a coffee drinker, but since it is pumpkin spice latte season, I have had a few in the past couple of weeks when we go out for coffee on weekends instead of my usual matcha latte as a seasonal treat. I know some people hate these things, and they get […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte Caramels
Halloween just a few short weeks away, and up until a few days ago I hadn’t made any candy this year yet! I always make peanut butter cups, and I need to get around to those, but this week, the first thing I made was some pumpkin spice latte caramels. I am not usually a […]
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 Caramel Apple Cheesecake
I made a visit to a local apple orchard a few weekends back, and I still had some apples on hand, so I decided that I had to make something really delicious with them. Pie sounded good, but you know what sounded even better? A cheesecake with the elements of apple pie included. A caramel apple […]
Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ever since we rolled into fall earlier this week, I feel like the trees and nature have gotten the memo because the leaves are starting to change and there is a bit of the chill in the air. I am kind of sad because I have a strained hamstring and can’t run through the crunchy […]
Pumpkin Spice Hazelnut CBD Ice Cream Pops
Fall may be here, but it is still pretty warm outside so I am still in the mood for ice cream treats. So I thought, why not make some fall flavored ones?! I have been making a lot of apple and pear stuff lately, so this time I made pumpkin. Plus we are almost into […]
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 Ginger Almond Butter Cookies
Fall is nearly here, and even though we have had a warm week so far I am ready for a new season and all of it’s flavors. Yes I am one of those people who loves pumpkin spice (only when used in the right applications of course), and all other warming spices like cinnamon in […]
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 […]
Root Vegetable Lentil Stew
In the deli I work at, we sell so much soup it is unreal. We sell at least 24 quarts a day. I understand. We do make really good soups and stews from scratch, using organic ingredients. I am the vegan soup maker. Of all of the soups I make, my favorites are the soups […]
Sweet and Spicy Roasted Brussels Sprouts
One of my all time favorite items to make in the Fall is roasted brussels sprouts. They are like savory candy honestly. Tender on the inside, crispy and salty on the outside…sooo good! I make them all the time at work with just a little olive oil and sea salt and they are amazing. I […]
Baked Stuffed Apples with Cinnamon Ice Cream
Apple pie may be the most popular apple dessert, but you know what else is delicious? Baked apples. Not only that, they are a little bit lighter option with all of the same delicious apple flavor. There was a time back in my early 20s that I made baked apples and pears all the time […]
Vegan Chai Spiced Pear Cakes with Hazelnut Chocolate Glaze
So far Fall in Minnesota has been a rather chilly rainy one, the temperatures in the 30s and 40s most days with rain for 2 weeks straight it felt like until this week so we have all been bundling up. But finally we got a few lovely dry days in the 60s. This is the […]
Poison Apple Martini
I have been craving some apple cider lately, so when I saw some honeycrisp apple cider at Trader Joes for a good price I had to get some. The most important thing for me when it comes to store bought cider is that it has one ingredient, apples of course. This one fit that requirement, […]
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 […]
Autumn Apple Fig Salad with Lemon Maple Tahini Dressing
I still haven’t been to an apple orchard yet this year. Maybe next weekend. But I have bought some amazing local apples at the grocery store. The Honeycrisp apples are still my favorite. The local ones are the best though, and taste slightly different than the ones that are flown in from elsewhere. Not only […]
Vegan Pumpkin Turtle Cheesecake
I see food items and recipes all the time that I say to myself I would like to veganize. There was a magazine next to the checkout line when I was at the store and said it was all pumpkin desserts. On the cover was the most glorious looking pumpkin turtle cheesecake. But of course […]
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 Pumpkin Spice Caramel Lava Cakes
Happy first official day of Fall! I thought it would be appropriate since it is to share my first pumpkin recipe of the season with all of you! My Mom recently asked me if I would make some pumpkin lava cakes, and of course I could not say no because they sounded amazing. I have […]
Vegan Chai Spice Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Cookies
It was a good weekend! Eric and I hit up Twin Cities Veg Fest on Sunday, and although it was 90F degrees, it was still a lot of fun and a really nice day. Where else can you get such a variety of all vegan food to choose from?! They had much more options than […]
Vegan Maple Brandy Apple Hand Pies
I am so ready for Fall. It was still 90F degrees here this weekend, and it still feels like Summer, but you can tell that Fall is starting to creep in. Some of the trees are just starting to change color or drop their leaves and it has been cooler at night. There is nothing […]
Vegan Sweet Potato Pecan Pie
We always had 3 different types of pie at Thanksgiving gatherings at my Grandparent’s house when I was little. It was always apple, pecan and pumpkin. I would always take some of each as was tradition, but really the pecan was my favorite. It was my Mom’s favorite and my Grandma’s favorite too, so maybe […]
Butternut Squash and Cranberry Casserole
Squash is one of my favorite things ever, and I get super excited when it comes into season. There was a point in my life when I was younger when I used to eat it almost every day for pretty much the Fall and Winter seasons in different ways for dinner. My skin even started […]
Vegan White Chocolate Pumpkin Pie Cups
To be completely honest, pumpkin pie was not my favorite growing up. It was just something I ate because it was tradition. Apple and pecan won over it. But, don’t worry. I have come to appreciate it more as an adult, mostly because my home made version is really good. You know what makes it […]
Vegan Maple Sweet Potato Caramel Mini Bundt Cakes
I am so not ready for Winter yet. It is technically still Fall, but it totally feels like Winter. The snow was flying last Friday, big fluffy clumps of flakes floating down, like the type you build a snowman with. It looked like a snow globe outside, and this was actually the second snow like […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cake with Fudge Frosting
I hate to waste things. So, I have little containers in my freezer a lot of the time with odds and ends like extra strawberry puree, canned pumpkin or that 1/2 can of coconut milk in a container I had leftover. I find uses for it all too! Sometimes it doesn’t even make it to […]
Vegan Vanilla Maple Bourbon Apple Pie
I feel like sometimes people are a bit prejudiced against vegans. I mean, how could you dislike someone that genuinely cares about all life so much that they won’t eat things or use things that harm animals or other creatures? Well yes, I know a few vegans sometimes come across as too preachy and in […]
Rustic Fall Root Vegetable Tart
Fall is at it’s peak of beauty right now here in Minnesota. The leaves are all painted in warm hues, and fluttering to the ground. But it hasn’t gotten cold yet, so it is the perfect weather to go walking and enjoy the view, and listen to the crunch of the leaves beneath your feet. […]
30+ Vegan Pumpkin Desserts
The last time I carved a pumpkin was over 5 years ago. Which is kind of sad actually, because it is fun, and even though I am an adult, I still enjoy doing things like that. I am not the best at carving, and my designs always turn out a little less spectacular than I […]
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 Roasted Squash Garlic Nacho Cheese
There was a point in time I ate so much squash that my skin started to turn slightly orange hued. I try to vary my diet a little more now, but maybe I am still a little orange since all year round I am eating squash, sweet potatoes and carrots at least once a day. […]
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 […]
25 Vegan Apple Dessert Recipes
I love apple season! It means that Fall is officially here, and the leaves are starting to turn colors on the trees, the air is getting chilly, and it is time to bake delicious apple pies. I love a good apple pie served warm with some coconut ice cream, it is so cozy and comforting. […]
Vegan Caramel Apple Pie Bars
The leaves are just barely starting to change colors on the trees, there is a slight chill in the air, and you can smell the aroma of bonfires in the evenings. Fall is definitely here! I am bringing out my cozy warm clothes, relishing in being able to run in chilly morning air with […]
Vegan Apple Spice Cake with Caramel Frosting
Last week was 90 degrees here, so not very Fall like at all. In fact, Eric and I went for a walk, and it was so humid you would swear it was July, and he found some ripe raspberries still on the bush! They are never usually around after the end of July, so that […]
Smokey Yam and Lentil Chili
We sell so much soup in the deli I work at that it is not even funny. 4 quart pots are emptied out in no time, and we are always making soup. You would think it would slow down a lot in the Summer, but it still sells like hotcakes! Even more of course in […]
Vegan Molasses Spice Cookies
When I was younger, my Mom and I would go to the library, pick out cook books and make a few recipes that we had chosen. I had a few favorite books, most of them were dessert books, including a cookie book with over 100 recipes, and the most beautiful photos! I tried many of […]
Vegan Harvest Chocolate Cake with Pumpkin Caramel Filling
I can think of nothing better than making a big chocolate cake after my long run. That is not to say I run for cake, but it just sounds really good. Not immediately after, but like later in the day when I am ready to chill and relax with some cake, wine and my man. […]
Vegan Maple Nut Cheesecake Dark Chocolates
I have been in a candy making mood lately. Most likely because Halloween is coming up, and I don’t buy candy at the store, but I love making it! When I make my own, I can control the ingredients that go into it, which are always good quality. I have made copy cat versions of […]
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 Caramel Apple Galette
The weather has been just glorious here lately! I am loving these cooler crisp fall mornings and warmer sunny afternoons. To be honest I wish it could be like this year round. 40-50F degrees in the morning and 60-70F degrees in the afternoon is awesome! Sunday was just like that. It was nice and cool […]
Mini Vegan Apple Maple Cheesecakes
Apples are abundant in my kitchen lately. So, when I got home from work Friday, and had the urge to bake something to relive stress and chill out, it was going to be apple. I had a bunch of ideas for what I wanted to make bouncing around in my head and couldn’t decide on […]
Vegan Spiced Apple Crisp in a Jar
Apple crisp is the quintessential Fall dessert as far as I am concerned. I know most people would say pie, but in my house growing up, my Mom made apple crisp more often, since it was a quick and easy week day dessert that she could make after work and have it be ready by […]
Vegan Apple Cinnamon Cobbler with Almond Biscuits
I can not believe October is here already! But I love it. I have to say, this is my favorite time of the year! I was lucky enough to have this past Saturday off of work to run a 5k, and the weather was perfect. A little chill in the air, the leaves were just […]
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 […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Sometimes you have a good week where everything goes right, and sometimes you don’t. What matters is how you deal with it, and whether it makes you a better person, or a worse person. Well, I had one of those not so good weeks, you know where nothing goes the way you planned it, things […]
Vegan Mini Pumpkin Spice Cheesecakes and Sweetleaf Stevia Giveaway!
When SweetLeaf Stevia contacted me to see if I would like to do a collaboration I could not say no! To be honest, I have been buying their stevia for over 10 years, and I used to go through a lot of it. I have tried a few other brands and none of them measure […]
Vegan Pumpkin Caramels
Is it weird that I have never actually had an actual pumpkin spice latte? The thing that everyone is always obsessing about this time of the year, I have never had. I make lots of pumpkin spice desserts though! I am going for the pumpkin desserts full force. I made pumpkin cheesecakes, and a pumpkin […]
Spiced Maple Pecan Butter
Pecans make me think of my Grandma. It may sound like sort of an odd statement, but hear me out. She used to always buy these amazing giant caramel pecan rolls for Easter, and had to have pecan pie at every Thanksgiving because it was her absolute favorite. But it doesn’t stop there, she loved […]
Vegan Caramel Pear Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Apples get all the love in the fall. But you know who else deserves some love? The pears. If you get a perfectly ripe pear that is sweet, juicy and delicious, it is like dessert. I was never that fond of pears growing up, but that was because the ones I are mostly came in […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Caramel Ice Cream
This time of the year gets me excited. It makes me happy to be able to wake up on a cool morning, run through the crunchy leaves, eat some warm oatmeal when I get home and drink a warm matcha latte while dreaming up some fall baking recipes. That is my ideal weekend morning actually. Don’t even […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cookies
I caved. I jumped on the pumpkin spice bandwagon. What can I say? Fall is in the air and I am in the mood for pumpkin and apples. My first baked good, pumpkin cookies. We make pumpkin cookies at my work, and they are always very popular this time of the year. They smell amazing […]
