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 Chocolate Peppermint Lava Cakes
After a hectic week last week, I decided that I needed to bake something chocolaty. Brownies or chocolate cake sounded good, maybe with peppermint. I had seen someone making some peppermint brownies on a morning show I was watching and the combo of chocolate and peppermint sounded amazing at the time. I didn’t however want […]
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dessert Hummus
I am a huge hummus fan. I know, it is a stereotype that all vegans love hummus, and I fit into it I guess. But I like to have some on hand at all times for snacking on so I make it a lot. I love the classic hummus with chickpeas as the base, and […]
Vegan Mexican Chocolate Lava Cakes
Since Cinco de Mayo is this weekend, I decided to make something for dessert with a little kick. I had made a Mexican chocolate cake that was really good a few years back with a little bit of cinnamon and chipotle in the batter and that sounded good to make again, but I didn’t feel […]
Vegan Bourbon Peach Ice Cream
I have been really into the berries this Summer, but what I have really been craving lately are some peaches! They are not something that grows local here, but this is the time of the year when you can get the really good ones, so when I find some, I have to get them. A […]
Vegan Milk Recipes
Non-dairy milks are becoming more popular than ever. Not only because they are better for your body, but because they are preventing harm to animals as well. Many people think that milk is cruelty free, but they couldn’t be further from the truth. The cows are not allowed to roam free as they please all […]
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 Chocolate Chip Banana Cake with Peanut Butter Fudge Frosting
One time I found out Eric threw out some over ripe bananas. “What were you thinking?!” I asked. “You should have given them to me!” I said. I mean, he knows I freeze them for smoothies, and can make some bomb vegan desserts with them (which I always share with him). Not just banana bread, […]
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 […]
Raw Chocolate Covered Cherry Macaroons
My Mom brought me some dried cherries and shredded coconut and asked me if I could make her some cherry coconut bon bons. The cherries were so amazing and fresh and flavorful, and the coconut so sweet and delicious that I was up for trying to make some! After all, she has good taste in […]
6 Ingredient Vegan Chocolate Fudge Gelato
For most of my life I have been a vanilla girl. It was always vanilla cupcakes over chocolate, vanilla cheesecake over chocolate mousse cake, and vanilla ice cream over chocolate any day. I don’t know if maybe the chocolate was just too intense for me when I had a good sized piece of dessert with […]
5 Ingredient Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
It was really hot and sticky last Monday. I went out for a walk in the afternoon, and when I got home, I felt like I had been dipped into a stinky pond. I took a refreshing bath laced with peppermint oil, and that helped to cool me down, but I also decided that I […]
5 Ingredient Vegan Salted Caramel Ice Cream
It has been really warm here lately, more like Summer weather than Spring. I think it is mostly the humidity, and it does wonders for plants but it makes me overheated and craving things like ice cream. So, I decided that I needed to make ice cream. I used to make ice cream every week, […]
Vegan Almond Joy Mini Bundt Cakes
Since it is Mother’s Day, I thought I would post a recipe that I made for my own Mother. But first, I want to thank my Mom for being the wonderful Mom that she is. I have always been close to my Mom, we did everything together when I was younger which was easy because […]
Mini Vegan Caramel Cakes
I have been wanting to make a caramel cake for some time, after seeing one that looked really good on a TV show I was watching, and drooling over another one on Pinterest which had caramel popcorn on top of it. I thought, hey, I can make my own gluten free, sugar free (fruit sweetened) vegan […]
Vegan Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake For One
I have had many people in my life tell me no. As in no, you can’t do that, you will not be good at it, you were not built for it etc. When I was in high school, I had a trainer tell me I would never be good at running because I have flat […]
Mini Vegan Mocha Layer Cakes
Valentine’s day has never been about receiving flowers and jewelry to me, when I was little, maybe it was all about the candy and wearing a cute red or pink dress, and making heart decorations. But now I see it as a day to appreciate the ones I love. I don’t expect anything, but I […]
