Vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Pistachio Jam Bars

I am super excited for rhubarb season!  We aren’t quite there yet in Minnesota.  Well, maybe that is an understatement.  We just cleared the snow and grass is barely beginning to grow so maybe about a month.  But there is hope, it got up to 88 degrees this week, a record high for that day!  […]

Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Brownies

I don’t know about you, but the combination of peanut butter and jelly is one of the best things ever!  I have been craving a peanut butter and jelly dessert, so I was super excited when my boyfriend Eric’s Dad sent me some of his home made jam. It is the best jam ever, seriously.  […]

Vegan White Chocolate Peanut Butter and Jelly Cups

I am a bit obsessed with peanut butter and jelly lately. I made some peanut butter and jelly ice cream last weekend, I am contemplating making a PB and J cheesecake for my Birthday in a few weeks, and I decided to make some vegan white chocolate peanut butter and jelly cups too last weekend. […]

Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Ice Cream

It was really warm here in Minnesota last weekend. We really haven’t had any hot weather yet this year until now (we have been lucky), but now that we are almost to the 4th of July it is about time. I was day dreaming about some delicious cold ice cream on one of my runs […]

Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Cookies

When I was little, pretty much the only sandwiches I wanted to eat were grilled cheese, and peanut butter and jelly. I was not a fan of sandwiches with lunch meat. So my lunches were always peanut butter and jelly. I didn’t complain. It was always raspberry jam if my Mom made it and Strawberry […]

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 Pecan Blueberry Jam Bars

I am loving anything berry lately.  We kind of get deprived of berries in Minnesota for about half the year, so when they are available, I am all over them.  I recently made some blueberry jam from a couple of pints of blueberries, and instead of simply using it to top toast with, or stir […]

Vegan PB & J Mug Cakes

It has been pretty much raining here every day for over a week now.  It is a little depressing outside on one hand, and not so motivating to wake up to no sunshine, but on the other hand, everything is looking really green outside and the rain is kind of calming.  I did my first […]

Raw Peanut Butter and Jelly Cream Pie

Today I turn 30.  But I still feel 21. I know I have done a lot of growing up in the last 10 years, but I don’t think I will ever think of myself as my actual age.  I still enjoy things like wearing Hello Kitty Bandaids, running through sprinklers (even if it is during […]

Raw Chocolate Raspberry Thumb Print Cookies

I really enjoyed dress up when I was a little kid.  I was always putting on weird combinations of clothes that I thought would look pretty, even though most of the time I looked ridiculous.  My own clothes were fun, but the most interesting clothes were at Grandma’s house.  I would dig through her boxes […]
