Vegan Berry Swirl Bread
I am so ready for spring! It felt like Spring here in Minnesota for about a week with temperatures in the high 30s and 40s and the snow was melting. So I spent as much time outside as possible when I could and dreamed about actual spring and decided that making something with strawberries sounded […]
Vegan Raspberry Swirled Chocolate Cheesecake
Cheesecake has to be my all time favorite dessert! Even before I was vegan I would make it or buy it a lot. There is just something so crave worthy about the creamy rich texture, and I love that I can make whatever flavor I am craving at the time. I have over […]
Vegan Raspberry Rose Cheesecake
I know we are far from summer, but I am missing summer berries, so I thought I would make a raspberry cheesecake to remind me of it. When I was little my favorite kind of cheesecake was the kind with the raspberry swirls. Whenever someone had one of those cheesecake variety packs with all different […]
Vegan Raspberry Lavender Pie Cookies
Raspberries are my all time favorite fruit. Maybe because they are somewhat abundant here in Minnesota and I ate a lot of them as a kid. Or because they have a season limited to a couple of months here so they also seem somewhat special. Yes, you can buy them year round shipped in from […]
Vegan Black Raspberry Blondies
Sometimes on my runs I am in the zone and sorting out my own thoughts, and other times I pay more attention to the beautiful things in nature around me. There sure is a lot of beautiful things to enjoy lately. Like a yard full of different colors of lilies, or the animals that all […]
Vegan Chocolate Dipped Raspberry Lavender Ice Cream Pops
Warmer weather is approaching and they said it was supposed to be nice last weekend so I figured I would make some ice cream. Not the scoop-able kind though, some ice cream popsicles! I love that they are portable, and easily shareable and it is always nice to be able to take them along on […]
Raspberry Jalapeno Margarita
The first food item that I had made that I shared with my boyfriend Eric wasn’t a dessert, it was my habanero hot sauce. One of the first things that we discovered about each other was our love for spicy food. He is from Arizona, so that is understandable, but I am not the typical […]
Raspberry Rosé Slushie
People think of Minnesota as being the land of snow and ice, but what they don’t realize is that there is a part of the year when it gets pretty hot here. It is not just hot either, it is the type of hot that also includes humid. Like you walk outside and a few […]
Vegan Chocolate Black Raspberry Almond Butter Cups
I know that being a runner doesn’t define me, but I still get kind of sad and feel lost when I have an injury and can’t do the thing I love. It usually takes me a few weeks to adjust, because to me, it is my therapy, and what keeps me from getting as stressed […]
Vegan Raspberry Ghost Pepper Caramel Corn
They are coming out with ghost pepper everything lately. Well, mostly savory items, I haven’t seen any commercial ghost pepper desserts, just things like chips, hot sauces, BBQ sauce etc. I was gifted a Trader Joes Ghost Pepper Grinder recently and I love it! Eric had one last year, and I would use his all the […]
Raspberry White Chocolate Chunk Peanut Butter
When I was in high school shopping with my Mom at the store, I came across a jar of the most amazing sounding peanut butter ever. It was raspberry white chocolate. I begged my Mom to buy it, and it was pretty amazing. Up until that point, I hadn’t seen anything but the standard peanut […]

Vegan Toasted Almond Raspberry Ripple Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
When I was little, I always loved going to ice cream places with many flavors. You know, the shops that sold purely ice cream, and had at least 20-30 flavors at a time to choose from. It was always exciting to eyeball all of them, and imagine what they would taste like. Maybe asking for […]
Vegan Chocolate Almond Raspberry Mousse Tart
My Mom has always been one of my best friends. I don’t mean that she let me get away with stuff when I was younger and treated me like an equal (like some parents who are trying to be their kid’s best friend literally). She disciplined me when needed, so I respected her and she […]
Chocolate Chia Crunch Granola and Coconut Yogurt Parfait
There was a time in my life before I went vegan that I ate yogurt every afternoon for a snack topped off with fruit. I was a huge yogurt eater, because I figured it was packed with protein. I always bought Greek yogurt in a big tub, because I liked how thick it was, and […]
Vegan PB & J Pop-Tarts
I was never much of a fan of pop-tarts when I was little truth be told, especially not the fruit ones, they tasted artificial to me. Probably because there was loads of sugar and artificial ingredients. The only ones I kind of liked were the cinnamon sugar. I did however love pie and pastries, just […]
Vegan PB & J Popcorn
I haven’t eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich since I was in high school, but I still love peanut butter and jelly together…especially in dessert. The truth is I never really liked sandwich bread, and I preferred to eat my peanut butter and jelly on crackers when I was young, or straight out of […]
Vegan Red Berry Hibiscus Crisp
I have been really digging cranberries lately. Maybe it is because I kind of miss tart summer berries, and when baked into desserts, they are kind of similar. Nice and jammy, sweet and tart when combined with just the right ingredients. Or maybe the fact that I am missing warmer weather when the sun is […]
Raspberry Basil Mint Salsa and Spicy Lentil Chips
My Mom always tells me about these pinto bean chips that she buys that she loves so much. I decided to try one, and they were pretty good, but I decided that I could make something similar at home. I do love crunchy salty snackables after all. I decided to make mine with lentils though. […]
Vegan Chocolate Dipped Hazelnut Butter Cookies with Raspberries and a Giveaway!
Windy City Organics was kind enough to send me some Dastony Nut Butters to create recipes with, and I could not have been more excited. In case you haven’t noticed before I am in love with all things nut butter. I have at least 6 types in my pantry at all times. One of the nut […]
Vegan Lemon Corncakes (gluten free) with Raspberry Rhubarb Sauce
Last week, I had some beautiful raspberries and rhubarb just begging to be used in some sort of delicious dish. Although just dessert would have been wonderful, I thought something a little more substantial and meal oriented might be a good idea. It was after work, I was hungry and I was talking to Eric […]
Peach Melba Overnight Oats
I ate oatmeal every day for 10 years straight in a row from the time I was in high school to a few years back. It was my go to meal every morning, I loved it and I never tired of it. Adding in goodies sometimes like peanut butter or fruit. It always tasted good […]
Raw Raspberry Pecan Butter
I am a big nut butter of any kind fan in case you haven’t noticed. I love peanut butter, I would eat the whole jar if I could, and macadamia nut butter and pecan butter make me swoon. Walnut butter is a staple for savories in my house, and cashew butter is always on hand […]
Raw Green Tea Almond Raspberry Granola
My Mom drinks green tea every day, and she loves my granola for breakfast. So I thought I would create a recipe for her that combined two of the things she loves. Plus, I am a fan of granola myself and I can not resist anything with matcha in it lately. It has found its […]
