Vegan Blueberry Maple Pie
Although autumn is just around the corner and I’m excited for those flavors, I’m holding onto the last bits of summer. There are still strawberries on the plant on my deck, and we just went blueberry picking a few weekends back so I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to berries quite yet. Last weekend […]
Vegan Maple Date Pumpkin Cakes
I am all about enjoying the pumpkin baked goods lately. It is something I look forward to every year, pumpkin spices and pumpkin treats rolling back around! Last weekend I was in the mood for some pumpkin cake, but I didn’t want to make a giant one, or one I had to frost, so what […]
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 […]
Maple Pecan Oatmilk Latte
One of the things I love about fall is the cozy drinks. I am a big lover of pumpkin spice lattes, and even make my own at home. But I also love other fall flavored lattes as well! I keep seeing all of these delicious drinks at local coffee shops, and have even tried a […]
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 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 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 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 Maple Oatmilk Latte Popsicles
One of my favorite things lately is an iced oatmilk maple latte. Ever since I had one at a local coffee shop in Minneapolis called Dogwood Coffee back at the end of May. It was the first time the shop had opened back up after all of the quarantine closures and I could not wait […]
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 Maple Pecan Cookies
I have only made one Christmas cookie this year so far, and I only have 3 more weeks, so I am getting on it making some! When I was little my Mom and I would pick out a bunch of cookies to make every year then store them in the freezer to enjoy throughout the […]
Vegan Sweet Potato Casserole and Vegan Sweet Potato Maple Cake with McCormick Spices!
This post is sponsored by McCormick® but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. There are so many things to be excited about around the holidays! Seeing friends and family you might not normally see the rest of the year because they live far away, the celebrations, and of course the amazing food! […]
Vegan Maple Pecan Brownie Sundaes
A lot of restaurants have brownie sundaes on their menu. I have seen other people order them, but I have never actually had one of my own. One of the restaurants I went to this year for my Birthday had a brownie sundae that came free if it was your birthday, but it wasn’t vegan […]
Maple Almond Chocolate Mousse Tart
When I was in high school, my friend gave me a dessert book, and some of the recipes in it quickly became staples. One of which was a super simple chocolate mousse. You just whipped up chilled heavy cream, then poured melted dark chocolate into it while whisking and it created the most deliciously rich […]
Vegan Eggnog Creme Caramel
For Eric’s Birthday I always ask him if he wants me to make him a cake or some sort of dessert. Because he has the biggest sweet tooth I know, and I am always happy to make one! In past years it has always been cake, but this year he said he wanted a creme […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
Cinnamon Maple Chestnut Pecan Butter
We have all heard the Holiday song with the line “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…” but how many of us have actually tried chestnuts? I admit, I did not try them until I was about 21 when I saw them at the local co op, and decided to be adventurous and try them. I […]
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 […]
Vegan Maple Bourbon Caramel, Fudge and Bacon Ice Cream Sundae
I always see these outrageous ice cream sundaes full of decadent ingredients on Instagram and Pinterest, so I was inspired to make my own. I have always loved the idea of a Sundae. I would have a small mudslide sundae at Dairy Queen when I was little, and I thought it was the bomb. That […]
Vegan Maple Glazed Bacon Doughnuts
I feel like so many people are obsessed with bacon. Well, guess what? I used to be too before I became vegan. Well vegetarian first so the bacon was long gone by the time I went vegan because it has been a total of about 14 years since I have eaten meat. I have tried […]
Vegan Maple Sandies
Before I discovered coconut sugar, there was a time I bought loads and loads of maple sugar for all of my desserts. It is a wonderful substitute for regular sugar because it has a similar texture. But of course it has that maple aroma, which I never minded since I love it! But then I […]
Vegan Maple Bacon Caramel Corn with Dark Chocolate Drizzle
Back in the day, way before I went vegan I was a huge bacon eater. Saturday mornings at Grandma’s house always involved bacon, the aroma filling the whole house as it cooked. I especially liked it when she made Denver sandwiches with it. And, when I went out to eat at a local pancake restaurant […]
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 Doughnuts with Maple glaze
When I was little, my Mom and I used to go to a local bakery and get doughnuts every once in a while. My favorite were these ones with maple glaze. They were sooo good! I haven’t had one since I was probably 10 years old, but I still remember exactly how they tasted, and […]
Vegan Blueberry Maple Cobbler with Pecan Biscuits
When I was younger I used to go to the library every week and check out cookbooks. I would sit with a big old pile of them and page through them looking for new recipes to try. This is how I taught myself to cook in fact! One Summer in college, I would make 1 […]
Vegan Maple Pecan Muffin Pancakes
I saw on a local news show, a segment about muffin tin pancakes and apparently they are all the rage lately on social media. I must be out of the loop, because I had not heard about them until that point. Whoever invented them though is genius, because they are so much easier to make […]
Vegan Maple Pecan Pumpkin Cookies
Happy first official day of Autumn! Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Summer but crisp fall mornings are one of my favorite things. I have been enjoying wearing sweatshirts and feeling a bit of a chill in the air. This weather makes for great runs and comfortable walks, all the while crunching the leaves on […]
Vegan Salted Caramel Maple Meringues
The first meringues I ever tried to make had coconut sugar in them. The ones that fell flat as I popped them into the oven making my heart sink. I had so much hope for them! The problem was that the aquafaba (chickpea liquid used to make vegan meringue) had not been whipped long enough […]
Raw Maple Cinnamon Pumpkin Seed Walnut Butter
I am a big fan of making your own nut butter at home. Not only is it usually more cost effective, but you can create new blends of nuts that you would not find in a store. Sometimes I make flavors with dessert in mind like Raw Pecan Brownie Batter Butter or Raw Sugar Cookie […]
Vegan Maple Oatmeal Walnut Pear Scones
I work in a deli, and my coworker often bakes scones. They all smell amazing, and I think they are my favorite thing to have sitting next to me on the cooling rack because the heavenly aroma they give off makes me happy. I used to make a lot of scones at home, but sadly, […]
Raw Nut Goodie Bites
Nut goodies. The name brings back memories of biting into a maple cream and crunchy peanut goodness coated in smooth chocolate. A child’s dream dessert. I have to admit when I was little they ranked right up there with Reese’s PB cups if not higher. They are made right here in Minnesota, and I […]
