Vegan Raspberry Shortbread Sandwich Cookies
I have been craving shortbread lately, so I recently made some chocolate orange shortbread cookies, but I thought something with vanilla might be good too! Maybe something for upcoming Valentine’s Day with some raspberry jam! So I made some heart shaped Vegan Raspberry Shortbread Sandwich Cookies! I wasn’t sure how they would turn out, because […]
Vegan Lavender Almond Raspberry Ice Cream
I love making my own home made ice cream! It’s so fun to just think of a flavor and then be able to make it and put into it whatever you want at the time! Since we are still in prime hot weather ice cream season, I decided to whip up a batch last weekend! […]
Vegan Key Lime Pie Raspberry Ice Cream
We are almost into summer and it’s been pretty warm here the last few weeks, so I am definitely craving ice cream! I could just go buy some vegan ice cream at the store, but I really enjoy making my own unique flavors. Last weekend I was thinking something citrusy sounded good, so I made […]
Vegan Raspberry Lavender Cake
Today is my Birthday, and the last couple weekends I have been choosing fun activities to celebrate it, because everyone gets a Birthday month right? So a couple of weekends ago we did something I have always wanted to do, visit a lavender farm! We went to The Lavender Barnyard in Farmington MN, and it […]
Vegan Raspberry Rose Mochi
Eric and I have bought a lot of mochi, my favorite flavors so far were the red bean filled and matcha. But there was also a delicious ube mochi that was pretty bomb. You have to read ingredients of course, because some are not vegan (especially a lot of the ice cream ones, but this […]
Vegan Raspberry Rose Gelato
It has been really hot and humid here in Minnesota lately and I couldn’t think of anything more lovely than some home made cooling ice cream, so I decided to make some yesterday! Although popsicles and granitas are delicious and light, I really wanted some rich and creamy more along the lines of gelato. Like […]
Vegan Raspberry Jam Bars
I love any dessert with a crumbly streusel type topping, like fruit crisp or pie and these Vegan Raspberry Jam Bars! I have been wanting to make these for a while, since I have a good amount of Jam from Eric’s Dad. He makes the best jam and he sent us a whole bunch! The […]
Vegan Raspberry Vanilla Cake
If I were to pick a favorite cake flavor, this Vegan Vanilla Raspberry Cake would be it. In fact, this is one of the flavors we ordered for our wedding cakes. It was so heavenly, I told myself I would need to make one for myself at home sometime. Well, that time has come, I […]
Vegan Raspberry Truffle Swirl Brownies
I apologize for my lack of new posts lately, but I was busy getting married! I tied the knot last weekend, and now I am officially Amy Lyons O’Neil! We had a lot of fun at our wedding, it was small, about 20 of our family members and closest friends. We had planned on having […]
Vegan Raspberry Bismark Cakes
When my Mom would take me to the bakery when I was little, one of our favorite things to get were the raspberry bismarks. We loved the tart raspberry jam inside of the sweet fluffy doughnuts with a vanilla glaze. We were talking about them the other day and how we hadn’t had any in […]
Vegan Raspberry Cupcakes
I started this blog 11 years ago last week, and although it seems like I have been making recipes forever I still can’t believe it has been that long! I started this blog back in 2010 as a way to share recipes with others, since before that I had simply been posting them on […]
Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake Dessert Hummus
I am a huge hummus fan. When Eric and I went on vacation last month, almost every day for lunch I would buy hummus and vegetables to dip in it for lunch and it made me so happy. They are not all created equally though, some are definitely better than others. We make a really […]
Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Roll Cake
Sometimes you just feel like making a really good chocolate cake. I was in that sort of mood last weekend. So I decided to make one. I had some raspberry jam on hand and I thought it would be perfect with a dark chocolate cake. I decided to make a roll cake, because a layer […]
Vegan White Chocolate Mango Raspberry Cheesecake
I can’t believe it is already July! Time has flown this year with all that is going on, and I feel a bit out of sorts as to what month it is lately since I am not in my usual routine. I haven’t done much cooking and baking lately because my kitchen has […]
Vegan Raspberry Chocolate Eggs
I loved Easter candy as a kid. Those pastel wrappers and fun varieties of candy I couldn’t get the rest of the year, I loved opening up my Easter eggs from the hunt and finding out what was in them. One of the Easter candies I got most excited for were the raspberry […]
Raspberry Rose White Chocolate Latte
Everyone has those little thing in life that make them happy. For me, one of those things lately is lattes. Every weekend Eric and I stop and get a latte of some sort at a local coffee shop. Sometimes it is just a plain oatmilk latte, other times a little something added like a hint […]
Vegan Raspberry Pistachio “Milk” Chocolate Bars
I have been seeing lots of ads for vegan chocolate bars online that look amazing. But unfortunately I can’t afford to buy them right now, because they are a bit over my budget this month, and the shipping price is pretty high. So, I decided to make my own instead! I actually have some cool […]
Vegan Raspberry Chocolate Chunk Bread Pudding
When I have a lovely loaf of crusty bread, there are two things I love doing most with it. Enjoying it with soup so I can dunk it in and soak up the goodness, and making bread pudding. I usually end up doing both if it is a large loaf and I have enough. I […]
Raspberry Jalapeno Limeade
We are at the point in the Summer, right around my birthday where it is really hot here. Well, I consider it really hot. With the Minnesota humidity it is just downright sticky, and you start sweating within minutes of being outside. That doesn’t stop me from going out of course. I would much rather […]
Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Jam Bars
I recently had dinner with my Mom at a local cafe and we were looking at the dessert case on the way out. There were beautiful cakes and tarts but the thing that caught our eye were some raspberry chocolate bars. They had a crunchy chocolate streusel on top as well as chocolate chips and […]
Vegan Raspberry Pop-Tarts
It was hard for my Mom to get me to eat breakfast when I was little. I just wanted to go to school or daycare and hated cereal so I would either eat Nutrigrain bars or Pop-Tarts so I didn’t have to sit down and take a lot of time to eat. The Raspberry Pop-Tarts […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Banana Bread
Having over ripe bananas on your counter is a blessing as far as I am concerned. You can freeze them and use them for smoothies, or of course do some baking. There are so many things you can make! But I decided to go for an old classic banana bread when I had some ripe […]
Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Lava Cakes
I had some leftover raspberry jam from another recipe, and I thought it would be amazing in a chocolate cake. But I didn’t really feel like making a big, tall layer cake. It had been a really crazy hectic week and something more low maintenance was more appealing. Don’t get me wrong, I love making […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Raspberry Shortbread Cookies
I have been all about making cute Valentine’s Day treats lately. After all, it is next week already. Maybe it is just because I am a true girly girl and I love all things pink and festive and heart shaped, or just that I love things with chocolate, or berry or any of the other […]
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 […]
Vegan Raspberry White Chocolate Truffle Hearts
Valentine’s Day is a month away now, so I figure I can start making Valentine’s Day treats. Because one can never have too many of those, right? When I was little, I loved the candy part of Valentine’s Day the most. I know, it should be about celebrating love and all, and that is what […]
Vegan Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake
I make my own Birthday cake every year, and half the time when I tell people that, they are baffled as to why. I even had someone tell me that it was sad that I made my own, and someone else should make me one or buy me one. But that is not how I […]
Vegan Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Frosting
Today is my blogaversary! 8 years ago I decided to start a blog, just looking to share recipes with friends and family. I had previously just been posting them to Facebook but I figured that wasn’t a very organized approach, and I wanted them all in one place, so I created a blog on Blogger.com. […]
Vegan Raspberry Swirled Vanilla Cheesecake (Nut Free)
I have probably made over 200 cheesecakes since I started to love them at a young age. I enjoyed them as a kid, but I never ate them very often because they were for special occasions in my family. Then by the time I was in college, I was buying a slice at a local […]
Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Jam Cups
I am in a chocolate making mood lately. Probably because Valentine’s day is coming up, and I want to be able to give some as gifts, and enjoy some for myself. So lots of chocolate goodies are essential. I know people like to buy boxes of chocolates to give their significant others, but I like […]
Vegan Raspberry Rhubarb Cream Cheese Pie
I got a bunch of rhubarb from my Dad’s garden recently and made some strawberry rhubarb wine, but I decided that a dessert featuring rhubarb sounded really good as well. I usually just go with the classic strawberry rhubarb combination, probably because one of my favorite things growing up was when my Grandma made strawberry […]
Vegan White Chocolate Raspberry Peanut Butter Cups
One of my favorite things about Summer is the raspberries. Being able to buy fresh, local organic ones at the store or even better, finding them on my walks when I am in the woods. It is like finding treasure when you come across raspberries, they are like little edible jewels! I remember my Dad […]
Raw Raspberry Marzipan Truffles
I have learned a few important things in the last few years. One, it doesn’t matter what others think of how I look or dress, or choose to live my life. I can wear whatever I choose to and be comfortable, do my makeup how I like, and be a vegan. People can criticize me […]
Vegan Raspberry White Chocolate Popcorn
I have been making a lot of popcorn lately. Because I have been craving crunchy snacks, and really, I prefer popcorn to chips unless there is hummus or salsa to go with those chips. And, if I just want something crunchy, popcorn is perfect. Plus, it is really fun to make flavored popcorn. Yes, I […]
Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies
What do you do when you are stuck at home in a snowstorm? Bake brownies of course. Yesterday, we had a really snowy day where it dumped about 6 inches while I was at work and was still going the rest of the night, and it was a really scary drive home. I drive like a […]
Vegan Mini Raspberry Fig Hand Pies
I love any sort of pie with a flaky crust, filled with fruit, and sometimes I just want a little 2 bite serving. Enter: the mini hand pie. I kind of wanted pie, and I kind of wanted cookies, so I made little pies that were the size of cookies. Mini hand pies. 2-4 bites […]
Vegan Almond Lemon Raspberry Cookies
Sometimes I get my recipe ideas from a craving I have or an idea I come up with as I daydream, but other times, I am asked if I could make something. That was the case last weekend when my Mom asked if I could make her some lemon raspberry cookies with nut butter included […]
Vegan Kumquat Raspberry Galette with Pecan Crust
Kumquats are like nature’s little sweet tarts. They are so delicious, especially to me because I love anything that makes my lips pucker a little bit. I remember when I first bought some years ago in college. I am always buying any sort of new and unusual fruits or veggies that I have not tried […]
Vegan Apple Raspberry Pie with Almond Streusel Topping
My Mom recently told me about a pie she had enjoyed at a restaurant that was so good. It was an apple raspberry pie with an almond crumble topping. It sounded so good to me, that I decided I wanted to enjoy some too, so I decided to create one myself. Apples are plentiful […]
Vegan Hazelnut Chocolate Raspberry Biscotti
There was a time when I made a lot of biscotti. It was back when I was in college and I had found some biscotti recipes in a magazine and decided to try them all, then make my own variations. I loved the stuff. Plus, it was a nice change from regular cookies, having a nice […]
Vegan Matcha Raspberry Meringues
With all of the vegan meringues that have been popping up lately on social media I had to try my hand at making some. I admit that these types of things have always intimidated me a bit, especially macarons which I used to love before I stopped eating animal products. Funny because I like […]
Raw Raspberry Dream Pie
Cream pies are the perfect thing for summer as far as I am concerned. But I guess I consider them somewhat of a special thing to make since I don’t make the often. There was no special occasion last weekend, but I decided to make it special and make a cream pie. Raspberry cream pie […]
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 […]
Vegan Gluten Free Sugar Free Raspberry Cupcakes
Since my Gluten Free Sugar Free Vegan Marble Cupcakes that I recently made turned out so good, I decided to try making some more sugar free cupcakes last weekend. This time though, it was raspberry. I had raspberries on hand and I had thought about making muffins…but when I talked to Eric about it he said […]
Raw Raspberry Lemon Doughnut Holes
I love, love, love this time of the year. It is the perfect temperature in the morning 50 degrees for running, in the afternoon 70 degrees for chilling out or walking. Plus nature has dressed itself up beautifully. The tulips are opening, the wild violets are blooming and the trees are clothed in the most […]
Vegan Raspberry Pomegranate Oat Waffles
You know what I think is sexy? Staying home and enjoying a meal together for Valentine’s Day. Because going out that day is often over priced and over rated. At least as far as my experience goes. Plus being able to spend alone time together for dinner and be able to hear yourself talk with […]
