Vegan Blueberry Chocolate Eggs
Even though the stores are filled with Easter candy, I like to make my own goodies every year, because most of the stuff I see at the store is not vegan, and is made with processed ingredients. I am not going to lie, I used to love that stuff as a kid. Chocolate was my […]
Vegan Carrot Cake Waffles
When I was little, I loved it when my Mom would make Belgian waffles. They were light and fluffy and so delicious! She made a recipe that used egg whites folded into the batter and they always came out just right. Now as an adult I still enjoy making waffles, and make them quite a […]
Vegan Iced Oatmeal Cookies
My husband Eric recently was telling me how much he loved iced oatmeal cookies when he was younger, and so I decided to make some last weekend. I love oatmeal cookies too, and I remember enjoying the iced ones also when I was younger. I have never made a veganized version so I thought […]
Vegan Strawberry White Chocolate Lavender Truffles
I’ve always loved making candy around Valentine’s Day! I love all things chocolate and so this year I decided to make some Vegan Strawberry White Chocolate Lavender Truffles!

Vegan Apple Filo Hand Pies
I am loving all things apple lately, and I have been making apple desserts almost every weekend since the start of the season! So last weekend was no exception, I decided to make some apple hand pies! Except not with the usual pie dough, with filo dough! I have made savory ones with it in […]
Vegan Berry Rose Layer Cake
It’s tradition that every year I make my own birthday cake! I suppose I could just buy one, but it’s fun to make my own and pick a flavor. So no matter how busy I am at the time, I always bake one! This year I decided on a Vegan Berry Rose Layer Cake! Layers […]
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 Marbled Banana Coffeecake with Pistachio Streusel
Having over ripe bananas is always fun, because it allows me to think of something interesting to make with them! Banana bread is a go to but I thought I’d be a little more creative when I had some recently and make some Vegan Banana Marble Coffeecake with Pistachio Streusel! It turned out so yummy […]
Vegan Maple Date Carrot Cake
It’s carrot cake season! Every spring I have to make at least one, and so recently I decided to bake a carrot cake because it’s tradition and it just sounded so good! This time I decided to make a Vegan Maple Date Carrot Cake, because maple and dates go so well with the spices in […]
Vegan Double Chocolate Banana Bread
I have always loved banana bread. It is something that my Mom and Grandma always made when I was little (the same shared recipe) and it was always so good no matter the variation of it that was baked that day. Sometimes it had nuts or chocolate chips but the chocolate chip version was my […]
Vegan Strawberry Lemon Scones
I used to work at a natural foods store that made all of their baked goods from scratch. They made the best scones, that were very popular with the customers, and we would always make different flavors. I learned how to make them from a lady that worked there before me, and then came […]
Vegan Turtle Brownies
I love baking brownies! They always make my home smell amazing and one can not possibly be in a bad mood while making brownies, they just have a way of making you happier! Plus I always have the ingredients on hand for classic brownies for when the mood strikes. Last weekend I decided it had […]
Vegan Gingerbread Cupcakes
It is finally looking a bit like Christmas around here with a bit of snow on the ground and not so brown outside. So I have been baking some festive treats! Of course I made some Christmas cookies, but also I have been craving gingerbread so I decided that I needed to make some. As […]
Vegan Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie Bars
I can not believe how fast this Fall is going. It seemed like it had just started, and now it is dark outside early, the leaves have fallen off the trees and we are way into November and Thanksgiving is this week! So I am thinking about the Thanksgiving desserts. I don’t usually make pecan […]
Pecan Pie Brittle
Pecan pie was always my favorite pie at Thanksgiving. My grandma would always have pumpkin, apple and pecan and I would have a little of each, but the pecan was the best! Not that I don’t enjoy the other two, because I love them as eel but I have to pick a favorite! I think […]
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 […]
Double Chocolate Pecan Caramel Corn
It is finally feeling like fall! In October we had temps in the 80s a good chunk of the month it felt like, and definitely didn’t feel like fall. But it snowed on Halloween so that means it is officially now cool weather season! Since we are now in cozy season, I am all about […]
Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Fall is in full swing, the trees are so beautiful with all of their warm colors and dropping their leaves like confetti and I am all about the pumpkin treats right now! Last weekend I decided I needed to make a pumpkin dessert, and I was craving chocolate chip cookies, so I thought I would […]
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 […]
Vegan Maple Apple Spice Cake
Since fall is finally here, and apple season is in full swing, I am all about the apple baked goods lately. It is the perfect time to do some baking now that it is cooling down a little outside. I was really craving some spice cake, so last weekend I decided to bake a Vegan […]
Vegan Apple Crumb Cake
It’s starting to cool down here slightly, the days are getting shorter and I can tell fall is knocking on the door. Apple season is here and I couldn’t be more excited! I love fall and all of the goodies that come with it involving apple, pear and pumpkin! I picked up some apples last […]
Baked Streusel Peaches
I love peach pie, and I love peach crumble and peach cobber, but one of my all time favorite things to make with peaches that is way easier than any of those desserts is these Baked Streusel Peaches! The peaches have been amazing lately and I have been buying them every week when I […]
Vegan Peaches and Cream Cookies
One thing I love about this time of year is the awesome produce, especially the stone fruits! I am really loving the fresh peaches right now! They smell amazing as you walk past them at the store, and I have been buying a bunch of them and just snacking on them as well as making […]
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 Banana Bread Muffins
Banana bread has always been my go to for over ripe bananas on the counter. My Mom used to make my Grandma’s recipe for it, which I then veganized and it is always so good! I switch up the add ins, sometimes I will just make it plain, sometimes with chocolate chips, sometimes with nuts […]
Vegan Strawberry Shortcake Cookies
It definitely feels like summer here lately and with summer comes berries! It think berries (I can’t pick just one type I love them all) are my favorite fruit. I am loving all things strawberry right now, while they are in season here in Minnesota. I love baked goods with berries, like scones, muffins, cakes, […]
Vegan Rhubarb Cookies
Tis the season for all things rhubarb, so I have been making a lot of desserts with it lately! I picked a ton of it in my Dad’s backyard because why not enjoy it while I can?! The season is only in the spring here after all, and soon we will be on to summer […]
Vegan Blueberry Muffin Cookies
Blueberry muffins remind me of lazy weekend mornings growing up. I remember making them with my Dad often and enjoying them with brunch. Even though they came from a boxed mix I still enjoyed them and looked forward to them. I especially loved scraping the last bit of batter from the bowl to enjoy. I […]
Vegan Strawberry Lemon Pistachio Oatmeal Cookies
I am so ready for spring! The weather is finally getting warmer, and I think the snow is behind us finally. Just waiting for the grass to be greener and everything to start blooming but I am just happy to be enjoying time outside with it above 50 degrees. I am also all about the […]
Vegan Strawberry Rosewater Cake
Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays to make desserts for because I love all things pink and berry flavored! So this year I thought it would be fun to make a Vegan Strawberry Rosewater Cake! I know Valentine’s Day is not for a few weeks, but I make stuff for the entire month […]
Winter Vegetable Lentil Pie
Christmas snuck up so fast this year, I can’t believe I am already posting my Christmas food! I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season so far! Normally I make lasagna for Christmas but I decided to make something different this year. I have always wanted to make a savory pie for Christmas […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Truffle Blossom Cookies
Every Christmas my Grandma would make tons of cookies and treats of different varieties then gift people tins or plates of them. She would always make spritz cookies, rosettes, krumkake, divinity, and peanut blossoms. The peanut blossoms were my favorite. They were also my Dad’s favorite, I think he could have just eaten a whole […]
Vegan Pumpkin Pie Bars
I have been making pumpkin goodies for the last several months, and guess what? I am not sick of them yet! I wait all year for all things pumpkin so I enjoy them all during the fall and winter while I can! Last week for Thanksgiving I decided to make some Vegan Pumpkin Pie Bars […]
Spiced Pumpkin Seed Brittle
I love making peanut brittle around the holidays. I remember my Grandparents always had peanut brittle around during Christmas and enjoying it as a kid. I like to make it now around Christmas, and I plan on doing it this year. But this Fall I thought some Spiced Pumpkin Seed Brittle would be delicious! Why […]
Vegan Marbled Pumpkin Layer Cake
We are getting into the final part of fall where the colors are starting to fade and it is getting more chilly. So I am soaking up every last sunny day before it is completely brown outside and the leaves are gone, enjoying running through the crunchy leaves (one of my favorite parts of fall). […]
Vegan Black Tahini Cookies
I love tahini. I love it in hummus, or for just drizzling on my salads, or eating with a spoon. What I really love it in though, is desserts! It may sound odd using it in a dessert, but halva is a dessert and it is delicious! It has a flavor similar to peanut butter […]
Vegan Spider Web Peanut Butter Cups
Peanut butter cups are my all time favorite Halloween candy. Or just favorite candy growing up in general. Whenever we would get home with our stash of Halloween candy, we would dump it out on the floor and divide it into piles of what we wanted to keep and what we wanted to trade. I […]
Warm Vegan Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cakes
I love a good pumpkin cake, whether it be a layer cake a loaf cake or cupcakes! There is just something so quintessentially fall about it and enjoying baking it in your kitchen while relaxing on a crisp cool day! I was craving some pumpkin cake last weekend and I wanted something simple so I […]
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 Peach Coconut Macadamia Crumble
We have been eating loads of peaches lately. My Dad gave us half a case of Colorado peaches a week ago, and we have made it about half way through them. They are all so good and flavorful so I have been eating most of them as is. But I decided a peach crumble sounded […]
Vegan Peach Almond Ice Cream
I have been buying lots of peaches lately because they are amazing right now! I am mostly just eating them as is, but I was thinking of how delicious they would be in some ice cream as well! It was hot and humid last week, so it was the perfect time to make and enjoy […]
Vegan Tahini Date Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream
Last week was definitely a week for ice cream! It was hot and humid every day, and in the 90s and I felt like I was sweating all day from working out in the morning, being hot in the kitchen at work and driving home in a hot car. So I decided some ice cream […]
Vegan Chocolate Dipped Maple Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pops
We have been all about the ice cream lately. Why not, since it is the peak of summer! I have been enjoying mostly the scoopable variety of ice cream. But Eric bought some chocolate dipped peanut butter ice cream popsicles at the store, and they sounded so good that I decided to make my own, […]
Vegan Tahini Chocolate Cake
I am a big fan of tahini. It is good in savory applications like hummus, dressing and sauces, but it is equally good in desserts. I had bought a bunch of tahini for making halva, and decided that a chocolate and tahini dessert will be amazing. What I decided on was a Vegan Tahini Chocolate […]
Mango Strawberry Granola
I was never a big granola person, until I discovered home made granola! Store bought was a bit too sweet and sugary for me sometimes, and the flavors weren’t that exciting but when I make my own at home I can tailor it to my sweetness level and add all kinds of fun add […]
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 Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Tart with Pretzel Crust
Back in the day I used to make a simple chocolate mousse that was just two ingredients. Whipped cream and chocolate. You whipped the cream to soft peaks then folded in melted dark chocolate. It was one of the most delicious things ever, so simple but so good. A few bites were satisfying but I […]
Date Pecan Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies
Oats are something that I love so much I have eaten them nearly every day for the past 20 years of my life. I have a bowl of oatmeal in the morning, I never get sick of it and it is one of my favorite things. It has shifted from cooked to overnight oats, but […]
Vegan Almond Butter and Jelly Dark Chocolate Bars
Eric and I were recently at a candy store, and although some of the items there were vegan, the one thing that I actually wanted to buy was not, a peanut butter and jelly dark chocolate candy bar. I am always more of a chocolate candy person than just a sugar sweet candy person, so […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Layer Cake
I think I lived on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch for a while when I was little. I didn’t really like other types of sandwiches at that point (I hated everything with lunch meat, makes sense that I am vegan now) and they were just so darn delicious! My Mom always bought raspberry […]
Coffee Chocolate Halva
Halva is something I make every so often when I am craving candy or something sweet. I first enjoyed some at a place local to me that makes it in all kinds of amazing flavors, then decided to try making my own, because I wanted to make fun flavors too! Sometimes I make it with […]
Vegan Cookie Monster Chocolate Chip Cookies
I had bought a purple yam and cooked it, not knowing what I was going to make with it. It was pretty delicious, and it was tempting just to eat it, but it was so beautiful I thought it needed to be used in something. I have seen people use them in recipes before to […]
Vegan Almond Praline Cake
Around the holidays I like to make candy, things like peanut brittle and almond praline brittle are one of my husband Eric’s favorites! I made some almond praline brittle last weekend, because I thought it sounded good, then I thought about how good it might be as an element of texture included in a cake! […]
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 Cornbread
I make chili almost every week. It is usually with rice on top and avocado, but last time I made it Eric told me that he prefers his with cornbread, so I said I would make some soon. I used to always make cornbread with my chili back in the day, and serve it topped […]
Vegan Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies
It has been darn near perfect outside here for the past few days, so I have been spending a lot of time out there enjoying the beautiful leaves, sunshine and cooler temps, but when I get back home I am definitely craving some fall treats! So, I decided to bake some cookies last weekend! Snickerdoodle […]
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 Cinnamon Sugar Apple Doughnuts
Last weekend Eric and visited a local apple orchard where you can pick your own apples. This week they were offering sweet tango apples which are a good balance of tart and sweet, so that was what we ended up picking. It was a beautiful day to walk through the orchard, the sun was shining […]
6 Ingredient Vegan Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream
I am a little obsessed with pumpkins and all things fall right now. I already have a bunch of pumpkin decor, mainly glass and ceramic ones, but I just bought another one, and then I also bought some cute mini pumpkins because I have been walking past them on display at work and they were […]
Vegan Peaches and Cream Scones
On weekends, I like to enjoy a treat with my coffee. Whether that be a slice of cake, a brownie, or something more brunchy like a cinnamon roll or a scone. I do love scones with coffee! But they have to be good scones, I am really picky. The deli I formerly worked in made […]
Vegan Vanilla Confetti Cake
It is always a good occasion for cake as far as I am concerned. Which is why I decided to make this Vegan Vanilla Confetti Cake randomly this week. I had 3 weeks off from working between my old job and starting a new one and I am not used to having all of this […]
Vegan Brownie Caramel Ice Cream Cake
It has been warm every day here in Minnesota, and although I am somewhat getting used to it, ice cream still always sounds good. I like a dish of regular ice cream, but this week I decided that what sounded really good was an ice cream cake! I always loved Dairy Queen ice cream cakes […]
Vegan Instant Pot Chickpea Chili
I have always loved chili. My family didn’t really make it, they just made regular soup and stew usually. But my friend’s Dad that lived next door to us made the best chili, and the ingredients in it were grown in their garden. It was spicy, since they grew hot peppers, but it was so […]
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 […]
5 Ingredient Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
I love enjoying any type of berries in the summer! Local are best, and picking them yourself is even better! I went berry picking several times with Eric on our trip to Michigan a few years back, and they were honestly the best berries I have ever tasted. That was at a farm, but here […]
Vegan Blueberry Rhubarb Cobbler with Vanilla Almond Biscuits
Official summer may just be in a few days, but I am still enjoying the spring rhubarb! The rhubarb plant in my Dad’s garden is still pretty large and I wouldn’t want all of that delicious rhubarb to go to waste! So, I decided to make a Vegan Blueberry Cobbler with Vanilla Almond Biscuits last […]
Vegan Banana Snickerdoodle Cookies
I make vegan snickerdoodles at work, and they are one of my best selling cookies. I have to say, they would be one of my top choices as well, they are pretty darn delicious with their chewy texture, sweet sugar cookie flavor and aromatic cinnamon sugar coating. Snickerdoodles weren’t something that we made in my […]
Vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Scones
Strawberries and rhubarb are one of my all time favorite combinations! I think it all started when I was little. My Grandma used to grow a row of giant rhubarb plants behind her garage, and she would use them to make this really delicious strawberry rhubarb sauce which she would give to us in […]
Vegan Strawberry Lemon Layer Cake
The weather here in Minnesota just seems to want to stay cold, in fact we had snow for Easter last weekend, and earlier in the week. But that isn’t stopping me from enjoying the flavors of spring and looking forward to a warmer season. We don’t really get strawberries here until the end of May […]
Vegan Banana Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting
The deli that I work in makes banana bars with cream cheese frosting that are really popular with the customers. I could not try them however because they are not vegan but they sounded really good to me, so I decided to make my own Vegan Banana Bars with “Cream Cheese” Frosting at home! My […]
Vegan Peaches and Cream Layer Cake
Last week, I had the idea to make a peaches and cream layer cake. I admit I was inspired by some peach jam that I had just opened up that Eric’s Dad sent home with us when we visited him in Michigan last fall. He makes some of the best jams, and this peach jam […]
Vegan Ginger Carrot Ice Cream
Ever since I bought an ice cream maker years ago, I have pretty much always made my own ice cream at home instead of buying store bought. Because not only can I make sure good quality ingredients go into it, it is also fun to make my own flavors and there is nothing like home […]
Vegan Zucchini Carrot Cupcakes
One can never get too many veggies as far as I am concerned. I try to get a large variety in my meals, so I sometimes like to add them to dessert as well, because why not?! Especially since you usually can’t taste them in there if you put them in things like carrot cake! […]
Vegan Chili Verde
I love any kind of chili. In fact, I make chili at least once a week, usually my Vegan Chili Mole with Rice because it is my favorite. But sometimes I like to switch it up, like last weekend when I decided to make some Vegan Chili Verde! I have made it before, and enjoyed […]
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 […]
Strawberry Pistachio Almond Halva
You know what you can do for yourself when you had a tough day and just want to wind down and enjoy something sweet? Whip up a batch of halva! Seriously, it is so delicious and easy to make! I began to love it a few years back when Eric and I bought some slices […]
Vegan Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cupcakes
Last weekend I was in the mood for something sweet. Cake sounded good, but what kind to make? Well, when I saw the huge pile of bananas on my counter when I got home, I decided something with banana was in order. I had enough bananas in the freezer for smoothies so I needed to […]
Chocolate Marbled Peanut Butter Halva
I have loved halva ever since I started buying it at a local shop a few years back. I still occasionally get down to the shop, but I also started to make my own at home. I have made it a few times now, and Eric loves it so much that the batch is usually […]
Vegan Matcha Mint Doughnuts
I can’t believe it is already Christmas this week! Time has flown, and as always this time of year is busy, so instead of making a cake this week when I felt like making a treat, I decided to make doughnuts instead! I like to enjoy doughnuts with my coffee sometimes on the weekends, and […]
Vegan Hot Cocoa Cookies
A snow day is the perfect time to do some baking! And, we definitely just got a lot of snow dumped on us here in Minnesota. It was about time though, nobody wants a brown Christmas! I made some Holiday cookies at work last week, they were double chocolate mint, and we all loved them […]
Vegan Chocolate Pecan Mousse Pie
Growing up, for Thanksgiving my Grandma always had pumpkin, pecan and apple pie for dessert. I would always take a slice of each, but the pecan was my favorite. It was my Grandma’s favorite and Mom’s favorite too, although there was always more left of it at the end because some of my family does […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Cake
Pumpkin is my jam ever since fall started. I make so many pumpkin cookies and scones at work lately and they always sell really fast so apparently I am not the only one. I have been making cookies, cakes, and pumpkin spice lattes at home, but what I I have really been craving lately that […]
Skillet Apple Crisp
Fall is my favorite season! I love the chill in the air, running through crunchy leaves, the beautifully colored trees, and of course the delicious foods that are now in season! Every year I have to make a trip to the apple orchard, and last weekend, since we both had the day off, Eric and […]
Vegan Cookies and Cream Doughnuts
I don’t normally buy store bought cookies, but since I was gifted a more “natural” version of some Oreo type cookies, and they tasted good, I decided it would be the perfect opportunity to make something cookies and cream with them! It was funny, because I had the unopened package sitting in the cupboard and […]
Vegan Apple Cream Cheese Coffeecake
This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own I have been seeing all sorts of delicious apple desserts in my newsfeed lately, and have been excited to start making my own! I love a good apple pie, apple muffins or apple scones, but what I decided to make first was some apple […]
Vegan Peach Galette
I have been all about the peaches lately. I made some peach scones and peach ice cream last week, and I have been eating them like crazy plus I made this peach galette. I was craving a peach pie, but I didn’t want to go through the extra effort to make one, so […]
Vegan Rosewater Peach Ice Cream
There is nothing like a perfectly ripe flavorful summer peach! I have been enjoying a lot of them lately, because my Dad gifted Eric and I a case. Although they are amazing on their own, I thought they would be amazing in some desserts as well. So I made a peach galette and some Rosewater […]
Vegan Blueberry Muffins
When I was little, on weekends my Dad would sometimes bake blueberry muffins, and I thought it was one of the greatest things ever. I got super excited when he let me mix the batter and eat the excess batter out of the bowl that didn’t make it into the tins. They were always […]
Vegan Blueberry Lavender Ice Cream
I have been eating so many berries lately. Mostly because it is summer and I feel berry deprived the rest of the year and because I bought a large amount. Berries are not something that is bad to eat a ton of though, why not get your daily antioxidants the natural way, right?! I wanted […]
Vegan Birthday Cake Waffles
July was my birthday month, so in addition to a cake I made a few other birthday treats like these fun Birthday cake waffles! Yes, my birthday was actually a few weeks back, but I just got around to typing it up now, and I feel like these can be made even when […]
Vegan Mocha Caramel Ice Cream
It has been a bit warm here lately, so I have been in the mood for frozen desserts and ice cream! Rather than buy it at the store, I make mine at home because it can be spendy there and I like to use more natural ingredients in mine like dates instead of […]
Vegan Matcha Vanilla Cake with White Chocolate Frosting
For my Birthday this year I decided to make my own cake despite being a bit busy, and that is why it has taken me a while to type up the recipe. I have been busy planning my wedding and I just moved a few weeks ago, and this was actually the first item I […]
Vegan Banana Chocolate Shortcakes
I love a good strawberry shortcake, especially in summer. Other berry shortcakes are good as well, and I have even made an apple shortcake for fall. But it occurred to me when I was making some banana scones the other day that I have never seen a banana shortcake! So I decided to make one […]
Vegan Strawberry Cobbler with Vanilla Pecan Biscuits
I feel like it has been forever since I made a baked fruit dessert. Maybe since last year in fact! I have been busy getting ready to move, so I haven’t done much baking lately but when I had some extra time this week I wanted to make something baked that involved strawberries! I thought […]
Vegan Cappucchino Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
I am a coffee fan. It always smelled amazing to me even if for the first part of my life I thought it actually tasted gross. But that may have been because the only time I would try it would be some event at church or something and I tried it plain with nothing in […]
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes
I love cookie dough more than actual baked cookies. Maybe I am weird, but that is the part of the cookie baking process that I enjoy most, eating the cookie dough! So, I like to enjoy it in other ways as well. I have made cookie dough truffles, and chocolate chip cookie dough hummus, and […]
Vegan Neapolitan Ice Cream Cake
I always liked neapolitan ice cream. It seemed kind of fancy with its 3 flavors layered together and it meant that you didn’t have to simply choose one flavor of ice cream which was always hard for me. But I haven’t seen any vegan neapolitan ice cream for sale, so I thought I would make […]
Vegan Key Lime Pie
I have always loved key lime pie. When I was little my Mom and I would order it at restaurants when we saw it on the menu or occasionally make our own. It had to be the perfect balance of tart and sweet though, maybe a little more on the tart side and have […]
Vegan Banana Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling
Roll cakes used to intimidate me, but now I find that they are easier to make than a layer cake because the frosting is far less fussy (if they have any). So when I had some over ripe bananas and I was craving banana cake this week, that is what I decided to make. I […]
Vegan Caramel Pistachio Tart
My Mom’s Birthday is in a few days and this year she requested a caramel nut tart. Pecans are good, but you know what’s even better and prettier for spring? Pistachios! I have a funny story about them too. Back when I was in high school and I went shopping with my Mom […]
