Vegan Matcha White Chocolate Filled Eggs
I love making Easter candy! One of my favorites has always been filled chocolate eggs. This year I made some raspberry ones, and some caramel, and also some with a matcha white chocolate filling earlier this week! I had enjoyed a white chocolate matcha latte recently and I decided that it would make a heavenly […]
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 Strawberry Lemon White Chocolate Cups
Meteorological spring is here, and even thought it is not technical spring on the calendar, I am treating it like it is. I am so ready to wear cute spring clothes, watch everything start to green up outside and to eat delicious spring produce! One of my favorite of which is strawberries. They won’t be […]
Vegan Samoa Bars
I was never a Girl Scout, but my parents always bought Girl Scout Cookies when I was little. I had a few favorites, Tag-a-longs, Thin Mints and Samoas are usually what we would buy. This one year they had these really good strawberry cream sandwich cookies but those were short lived unfortunately. The Samoas were […]
Vegan Strawberry Matcha Chocolate Bars
It has been feeling like spring here in Minnesota, so I am in the mood for spring colors and flavors. I am so ready to put away the heavy winter clothes and bring out the fun spring wardrobe! But I know the weather can turn on a dime so it will still be […]
Vegan Lasagna Roll Ups
When I was in middle school and I ate school lunch, one of my favorite things were the lasagna roll ups. When I saw that they were on the menu, I looked forward to lunch time. Oddly enough though, I haven’t actually ever had lasagna roll ups since I left middle school, because most people, […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirled Banana Bread
Banana bread was always one of my favorite baked goods growing up. Whenever we had over ripe bananas on hand, my Mom would make my Grandma’s banana bread recipe, and it was always so good. She would usually swap out the nuts for chocolate chips and that was my favorite way to enjoy […]
Blood Orange Dark Chocolate Tarts
I love blood oranges! Their sweet flavor, and lovely color are perfect, and they are only available for a short time usually around here, so I always get some when they are available! Surprisingly though, I had not bought any yet this year because I hadn’t seen them but when I came across […]
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 White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Pie
When I was little, there was this strawberry silk pie from Baker’s Square that they would have around Valentine’s Day that I just loved. My Dad had gotten one a few times and it was sooo good! It had a creamy strawberry layer, plenty of whipped cream on top, and pink white chocolate curls. I […]
Vegan Chocolate Caramel Hearts
Valentine’s Day is about a month away, so I figured why not make some candy! Not that I didn’t make candy for Christmas, but there is a candy for every season right? Luckily the candy that I make isn’t just complete sugar and has some nutritional value. Making candy for Valentine’s day is sort of […]
Cherry Maple Pecan Oatmeal Cookies
You would think that I would be sick of cookies after it being Christmas cookie season, but that isn’t the case. My Mom gave me some dried cherries and pecans and asked me to whip up a batch of Cherry Maple Pecan Cookies, and I said why not?! They sounded super delicious after all. Oatmeal […]
Vegan Chocolate Caramel Pecan Bread Pudding
Over the New Years holiday, we got a bit of snow and it was chilly for a few days before it warmed up again so I figured it was the perfect time to make some sweet comfort food. Not only that, why not make something delicious to celebrate?! I had a loaf of somewhat stale […]
Mini Vegan Bourbon Pecan Tartlettes
This year for Thanksgiving instead of making one giant pie, I decided to make mini pecan tartlettes. My family really hasn’t had big gatherings for Thanksgiving in years, since my Grandparents stopped being able to host years ago so we have always tried to keep it simple. Now that both of my grandparents are now […]
Vegan Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake
For Thanksgiving, part of the tradition at my house is to always have some fabulous desserts. Pumpkin pie is traditional, but sometimes I like to switch it up a little bit with the pumpkin desserts. I made some pumpkin creme caramel before and pumpkin cakes, and this year I decided that a vegan pumpkin pie […]
Chocolate Pecan Pie Cups
It was incredibly nice last weekend, so I didn’t spend much time in the kitchen. Instead, I spent lots out time outdoors, because how often is it 70F degrees in November?! But we got snapped back to reality yesterday when it rained all day, then today when it snowed a few inches, plus ice pellets. […]
Vegan Chocolate Pumpkin Cake Roll
October is over and I hadn’t baked any pumpkin cake yet this year! I made other pumpkin things like pumpkin bars and cookies but no cake, my favorite thing! It has been a bit busy this Fall, more busy than normal it seems for me. But it is being busy with all good things like […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cookies with Maple Glaze
In the deli I work in, we usually make pumpkin cookies. They are soft, with a maple glaze and just the right amount of pumpkin spices. I tried one years ago before I was vegan, and they were delicious! They are a seasonal item that is made every year, and everyone loves them! I have […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte Ice Cream
I know a lot of people hate all of the hype of pumpkin spice lattes, and I get it. There are many chain coffee shops that just use a mix that doesn’t even contain real pumpkin and isn’t that good. But once you have had one at a coffee shop that makes their own artisan […]
Vegan Apple Pie Cupcakes
The weather has been fabulous here lately, and I have really enjoyed getting out and enjoying the fall colors and activities. Last weekend we went for a hike along the St. Croix and then made a stop at Pleasant Valley Orchard to do some apple picking. I normally do this earlier in the season but […]
Vegan Caramel Apple Cobbler
I finally got my hands on some Minnesota grown apples. Although I love to just eat them, I really wanted to bake something with them as well. An apple pie sounded good, but then I also love crust-less things with a topping like an apple cobbler or apple crisp. I went with the cobbler, […]
Vegan Pumpkin Bars
I bought my first can of pumpkin last week. I have been wanting to make something with pumpkin since the beginning of September which is considered pumpkin season start to me! I have made a few pumpkin spice lattes, but a dessert sounded nice. I will make a pumpkin pie later in the season, since […]
Butternut Squash, Chickpea and Kale Soup
The weather is starting to cool off here, I am seeing a touch of color starting on some of the maple trees, and I am getting the comfort food cravings. So I thought I would make some warming soup last week. We had a few rainy days here, and it was just the thing to […]
Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Latte Cookies
I have been really into coffee flavored things lately. I do love my oat milk lattes, but coffee is so amazing in desserts as well! Even when I was a kid, and I hated actual coffee I loved tiramisu and chocolates that were flavored with a little coffee. So I was excited when Raw Guru […]
Maple Pumpkin Seed Butter Cups
Pumpkin seed butter is something that is totally under appreciated. I actually really like it! Its lovely green color, slightly nutty flavor and rich texture! Raw Guru recently sent me some Dastony sprouted pumpkin seed butter and I was excited. I tend to get stuck in the rut of eating peanut butter and almond butter […]
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 Mocha Roll Cake
I feel like my Birthday crept up on me this year. There has been so much crazy stuff going on, and so many changes, including my kitchen remodel that just wrapped up a couple weeks back (thank goodness) that I forget what month we are in. But I still decided to make a birthday cake […]
Vegan Vanilla Cake In a Mug
It was Friday, at the end of a long week, and I was in the mood for some cake. But I didn’t want to go through a lot of trouble to make it, because I also wanted to relax and enjoy, so I decided to make just one small cake for myself to enjoy that […]
BBQ Lentil Sloppy Joes
When I was a kid, sloppy joes were a staple at just about every summer gathering or party that I went to. Most likely because they were great for making in a crock pot and having ready ahead of time, and everyone loved them. They actually weren’t my favorite most of the time unless someone […]
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 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 Strawberry Shortcakes
If you grew up in the 80s or early 90s, then you probably remember Strawberry Shortcake. I loved strawberry shortcake. In fact, I wished I could be her at one point, living in a giant strawberry with my pets and baking things. I had the strawberry shortcake movie when I was little and I would […]
Vegan Double Chocolate Almond Butter Cookies
A while back, in the deli I work in, we got almond butter shipped to us instead of tahini. Since we were unable to return it, and I am the vegan baker there, I suggested we make some almond butter cookies with it! We didn’t really have any other recipes that we could use it […]
PB and J Chocolate Chip Energy Bites
In case you are wondering why I haven’t been posting as many new recipes lately, it is because my kitchen is in the process of being remodeled and I have had limited access to it off and on. Which makes me a little less motivated to make anything that can’t be made in the instant […]
Vegan Broccoli Cheddar Mac and Cheese
Who doesn’t love mac and cheese?! Growing up, I pretty much lived off of things with cheese like grilled cheese, or mac and cheese. Not that I was picky or anything, but I just loved them so much and would ask my parents if I could have them often. I can still enjoy […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Mocha Brownies
Nobody can be in a bad mood while baking brownies. Which is why when I am feeling a bit out of sorts, I like to bake some. Which is exactly what I did a few days back after work, because I needed a nice little pick me up. Plus they just sounded good. I have […]
Vegan Vanilla and Chocolate Pancake Cereal
I don’t know about you, but I am always drooling over other people’s food photos on Instagram. One of the latest crazes that caught my eye was the pancake cereal I have seen a few people make. I love pancakes, so it looked like it was right up my alley! I was also kind of […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Granola
I made a chocolate peanut butter roll cake last week, and it was so good that I am keeping the chocolate peanut butter theme going. Not with a dessert this time though, with a delicious snack! My last batch of granola was running low, and it is something that I need to keep in my […]
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 […]
Veggie Lentil Soup
It is so weird to think that 15 years ago I really didn’t eat any lentils, or even know how to prepare them. I now love them and make them at least several times a week, usually in soup form. Last weekend I felt like a classic lentil soup, not a chili, or a curry […]
Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Roll Cake
I was craving chocolate cake last week, but I didn’t want a layer cake, so I made a rolled one! It may sound harder to make a rolled cake, but it is actually easier and faster once you get the hang of it. Plus you don’t have to frost anything perfectly which is nice sometimes. […]
Vegan Poppy Seed Rolls
Sweet rolls are for lazy weekend mornings, and days off. So I decided to make some on my day off last Monday. I know a lot of you may be feeling like there are a lot more of them lately with everything being shut down, so why not make some sweet rolls? They always […]
Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Pop Tarts
I loved Nutella as a kid. I remember thinking it was pretty awesome that I could have chocolate on toast for breakfast (because it pretty much just tasted like chocolate with not much nut flavor since it is so sugary). It is pretty much dessert after all. My Mom wouldn’t let me eat it […]
Vegan Lemon Cream Pie
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend! Saturday we had beautiful warm weather here, but for Easter Sunday it was snowing and just pretty slushy and cold which was a bit weird, but it didn’t stop me from getting outside for a walk with Eric in the afternoon. It was a bit […]
Broccoli Almond Apple Slaw
I don’t know why everyone throws all of their broccoli stems away and just keeps the flowrettes, honestly the stems are the most delicious sweet part of the broccoli in my opinion! So, when I was making a big broccoli salad the other day at work and had a lot of stalks bound for the […]
Vegan Banana Caramel Rolls
Easter is coming up next weekend, and although it will be a little different this year, me and my family will still be enjoying good food. Honestly, most years we go out to dinner for Easter, so it will be nice to make some of the traditional things I enjoyed growing up and share with […]
Vegan Chocolate Banana Cream Pie
About 10 years ago, there was a really good local upscale restaurant (that has sadly since closed) that my Mom and I would visit often, and they had amazing banana cream pie. I can’t say that I had eaten much banana cream pie before I had it there, but after I had tried it, I […]
Tahini Lemon Broccoli Pasta
I know a lot of people are ordering takeout with the whole Coronavirus going on, but that hasn’t been the case with me. We usually do takeout instead of delivery if we are going to do something like that, but only for a special occasion like my Mom’s birthday coming up, since we can’t go […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Eggs
I used to get excited about Easter candy growing up. Those pretty pastel wrappers, and getting to enjoy things I didn’t the rest of the year like Robin’s Eggs malted milk balls, raspberry cream eggs, and Reese’s peanut butter eggs. I wasn’t a big fan of those big jelly beans though, they had a weird […]
Classic Vegan Carrot Cake
Spring is finally here! Well, calendar wise at least, it is still a bit chilly but there are glimpses of it with the pussy willows popping out along the pond, and a few plants starting to sprout out of the ground, plus of course the longer days. After winter I am all about anything over […]
Vegan Matcha Chocolate Bars with Cacao Nibs
St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow, and although it doesn’t feel so much like it this year due to the virus going around and events being cancelled, I still like to enjoy some festive stuff at home so I made some green chocolate bars! I like to try to stay positive. And even if we can’t […]
Grandma’s Banana Bread Veganized
My Mom made the best banana bread when I was little. It was my Great Grandma’s recipe, passed down to my Grandma, then to my Mom. Written out on a recipe card, from a time long before we could look up recipes online. I have tried many different kinds, we often had some at church […]
Vegan Peppermint Marble Cake
St. Patrick’s day is less than 2 weeks away, so it is the perfect time to make all things green. Especially fun desserts. Cakes are my favorite. So even though I made a green cheesecake last week, I decided to make another different green cake this week. Last year I made a peppermint vanilla cake […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Orange Brownies
I have been loving the combination of chocolate and orange lately. I recently made some Chocolate Orange Hazelnut Cupcakes and they were so good, so I wanted more of that chocolate orange flavor combo. I was in the mood for some brownie baking last weekend, so it seemed like the perfect time to use it […]
Vegan Grasshopper Cheesecake
When I was a kid, my Mom and I used to go to this local diner that had the best grasshopper malts. I loved those things. Smooth peppermint ice cream base, with gooey chocolate fudge, it was totally heavenly! So sometimes now, I like to create desserts with those same flavors. I have […]
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 Caramel Oatmeal Cookie Sandwiches
My Mom asked me last weekend if I could make some date bars in cookie form. Like the oatmeal mixture on the outside and date caramel in the center. We decided that making some oatmeal caramel cookie sandwiches were in order. I have always loved oatmeal sandwich cookies. Ever since I had those oatmeal cream […]
Orange Kale Salad
Spring is on the horizon, it has been warm and sunny here lately with the snow rapidly melting and lovely outside. I have been trying to get out for a walk everyday and it is nice that now when I get home from work it is still light outside. Even though citrus season is almost […]
Vegan Chocolate Orange Hazelnut Cupcakes
Chocolate and oranges are a match made in heaven. My Mom used to buy dark chocolate oranges, shaped like an actual orange with sections when I was little and I thought they were the coolest thing ever. I mean chocolate is already the coolest, but make it shaped like and orange with orange flavor, even […]
Vegan Tagalong Cookies
Tis’ the season for Girl Scout cookies. I used to love them growing up, especially the Samoas and Tagalongs, but my Dad always bought the Thin Mints as well. So now as an adult, I like to make my own home made versions. I know there are vegan Girl Scout cookies but I would rather […]
Vegan Banana Bread Granola
Store bought granola has nothing on home made. It is so much fun picking your own flavors and ingredients. Although I have my favorites, I try to switch it up a lot according to what I have on hand and try new things. I always keep a bag of granola in my pantry at all […]
Vegan Vanilla Berry Rose Doughnuts
Since it is Valentine’s week, I am using that as an excuse to make all things pink and girly. Yes, that includes making cards and whatnot, but desserts are part of that too. I had already made some chocolate, so it was time to whip up something else so I have a nice variety. I […]
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 Vanilla Cake
I can’t believe that I started this blog 10 years ago. Although it didn’t really start as a blog. It started out as a way to share my recipes all in one place, somewhere other than just in my Facebook notes. I was experimenting with new recipes all the time, and sharing the good ones. […]
Vegan Tiramisu Cheesecake
The first time I ever tried tiramisu was at an Italian restaurant with my Mom when we were on a family vacation. I wasn’t a huge fan of coffee at the time, but it still sounded interesting so I ordered some. It was fabulous! Layers of soft cakey lady fingers with a hint […]
Vegan Creamy Potato Leek Soup
When I was little, one time when my Mom and I were out shopping on a Saturday, we stopped at this restaurant that I considered a little bit fancy at the time. Fancy was anything with ingredients I couldn’t pronounce or where the wait staff wore nice uniforms. They had a leek soup on the […]
Vegan Chocolate Football Cookies
My favorite football team the Minnesota Vikings were eliminated a few weeks ago from the Superbowl running, but I will still be watching because it is tradition, and I do love Superbowl food like nachos and cauliflower wings plus watching all of the interesting commercials! Also I decided to make some cute football cookies. Because […]
Vegan Chocolate Almond Mousse Tarts
I am in a chocolate dessert sort of mood lately. Maybe it is because Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and chocolate just feels right, or because eating chocolate seems to make me forget about winter. Anyways, I decided that I needed something chocolaty last week, and since I had already recently made brownies […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Sweet Rolls
I have made classic caramel rolls, and cinnamon rolls but I thought I would make something a little different last weekend as far as rolls went because I am always open to trying new things when it comes to making recipes! I has some of Eric’s Dad’s home made jam and I thought […]
White Bean, Sweet Potato and Kale Soup
The weather can’t seem to decide what it is doing here lately. It was thawing out and above 35F degrees, and then it was down to below zero then back to above freezing again. I will take the warmer days though, it is not often we see days above the teens and twenties this time […]
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 Banana Hazelnut Chocolate Pancakes
When you get a bunch of free bananas, you make banana goodies. Or freeze them for smoothies, but I already had some in the freezer so I made some banana bread pudding earlier this week, and then these banana hazelnut chocolate chip pancakes this weekend. I guess I am in the mood for brunchy banana […]
Vegan Banana Bread Pudding with Caramel
I was gifted some really good sourdough bread and decided that it would be lovely in some bread pudding. I had made some pumpkin bread pudding a few months back with some sourdough bread and it was amazing and I have been wanting to make more ever since. It was perfect timing! I didn’t want […]
Vegan Chocolate Peppermint Lava Cakes
After a hectic week last week, I decided that I needed to bake something chocolaty. Brownies or chocolate cake sounded good, maybe with peppermint. I had seen someone making some peppermint brownies on a morning show I was watching and the combo of chocolate and peppermint sounded amazing at the time. I didn’t however want […]
Peppermint Vanilla Vegan White Chocolates
The holidays are always hectic. After all, everyone is rushing to buy presents, making plans going to parties, and planning out the food for their holiday gatherings. It is always a bit of a stressful time, but I feel like it is even more so this year. A few weeks back I had my car […]
Vegan Pecan Tassies
When I was little my Mom and I always made a good assortment of cookies and treats for Christmas, and her favorite was the pecan tassies. My Grandma passed down her love of pecan pie down to my Mom and then to me, so it is no wonder why we loved them. I think we […]
Vegan Gingerbread Roll Cake
I made some gingerbread cookies a few weeks back, and ever since then I have been craving the flavor in the form of cake. Not that there is anything wrong with cookies, but I am a cake kind of girl! I was thinking a gingerbread layer cake with vegan “cream cheese” frosting, revamping one of […]
Rutabaga and Yam Fries with Garlic Dipping Sauce
One of my all time favorite things we make at the deli I work at is sweet potato or yam fries. They are so simple but so good. So, often times I will make them at home. I call them my bacon, because they are to me what bacon is to meat eaters. Hard to […]
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 Gingerbread Cookies
I used to make gingerbread cookies a lot back in the day. In fact, when I was a senior in college, I made gingerbread cookie sculptures for my senior art show. Things like a gingerbread sculpture of my car, my house, and household items like a bed and table with chairs. I really enjoyed it, […]
Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Silk Pie
Pumpkin, pecan and apple were always staples at Thanksgiving growing up, and I made pumpkin and apple pies before Thanksgiving this year earlier in the season, but this year I decided to make a chocolate hazelnut pie specifically for Thanksgiving. I was thinking something similar to French silk pie but with hazelnut because chocolate sounded […]
Vegan Chocolate Roll Cake
I had just made a rolled pumpkin cake and it turned out so well, I asked Eric if I could make him a chocolate rolled cake for his birthday. His birthday happens to land on Thanksgiving this year so we are kind of celebrating on different days before and after it since most places will […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling
Cake rolls and jelly roll cakes were something that intimidated me for a long time growing up. So for a long time I was scared to make one, until finally a couple of years ago I made a vegan chocolate chestnut yule log for Christmas and it wasn’t that bad. In fact, it turned out […]
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 Pumpkin Maple Creme Caramel
When I was in high school, my Mom and I went on a trip to Europe. When we were eating lunch in a small cafe, I tried my first creme caramel. When I ordered it, I am not sure what I was expecting but it was not like anything I had eaten before. I think […]
Vegan Butternut Squash and Chickpea Chowder
We are full swing into soup season, and in the deli I work in it is just flying out of the pots because it is the most popular thing we have right now. I mean, I don’t blame people, I go home and eat warming soup too this time of the year most nights. You […]
Blueberry Pecan Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies
I feel like fall is always too short. I know it is still technically fall, but I mean the weather itself, I miss those moderate fall days where you just need a light jacket, and your hands don’t freeze when you go out for a walk. It has snowed here a couple of days this […]
Vegan Almond Joy Bites
I admit that growing up, Almond Joy and Mounds candy bars weren’t my first choice when it came to the candy swapping. I wasn’t a big fan of that syrupy sweet weird textured coconut inside, that didn’t taste like actual coconut but more like it had coconut flavor in it or something. Which is why […]
Vegan Sweet Potato “Cream Cheese” Muffins
Pumpkin has been getting all the love around here, I am not going to lie, I admit I get a little obsessed in the fall, since I am pumpkin deprived the rest of the year and it is one of my all time favorite things. But you know what else is my favorite thing? Sweet […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies
I don’t know about you, but I can’t get enough of pumpkin goodies this year. I like apple treats and Halloween candy too, and I have been making those as well this October, but pumpkin seems to be the favorite. Thank goodness for canned pumpkin though! Back in the day, I used to like to […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte Mix
I am not much of a coffee drinker, but since it is pumpkin spice latte season, I have had a few in the past couple of weeks when we go out for coffee on weekends instead of my usual matcha latte as a seasonal treat. I know some people hate these things, and they get […]
Vegan Pumpkin Caramel Rolls
Last weekend we drove up to Duluth MN and Gooseberry Falls State Park for the day, since I took some vacation from work and those are some of my favorite places to visit. It is about a 2 hour drive to Duluth and another hour up to the park, so as you can imagine we […]
Vegan Caramel Apple Cheesecake
I made a visit to a local apple orchard a few weekends back, and I still had some apples on hand, so I decided that I had to make something really delicious with them. Pie sounded good, but you know what sounded even better? A cheesecake with the elements of apple pie included. A caramel apple […]
Vegan Hazelnut Caramel Bars
When I go to the grocery store I admit I am usually in a hurry to grab what I need then get out. Eric makes fun of me for it, saying I need to slow down sometimes, because I am missing out on things. Surprisingly though I hardly ever forget something. If I do though, […]
Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ever since we rolled into fall earlier this week, I feel like the trees and nature have gotten the memo because the leaves are starting to change and there is a bit of the chill in the air. I am kind of sad because I have a strained hamstring and can’t run through the crunchy […]
Vegan Pear Spice Doughnuts with “Cream Cheese” Glaze
At one of the apple orchards that we always used to go to growing up, they always made these cinnamon sugar doughnuts that you could smell from far away because they always seemed to have the aroma venting out of the building as if to entice you to buy one. I never did end up […]
Vegan Mexican Street Corn
I have been wanting to make veganized Mexican street corn for a while now, and I finally decided to do so this week when I got a good deal on organic sweet corn. You know what is really sad? I haven’t had any sweet corn yet at all this year until now, and it is […]
Vegan Cinnamon Roll Cake
At work in the deli last week, one of my coworkers decided to bake a cinnamon roll cake for our hot food bar. We don’t usually make desserts for it but it is always nice to swap things up, and a lot of people have a sweet tooth. Plus, who doesn’t like warm cinnamon scented […]
Vegan CBD Caramels
My favorite way to enjoy CBD oil besides just taking a dose of it in the morning is to add it to chocolates. Yes, I have added it to other things like smoothies, brownies, and ice cream pops, but chocolate is just so darn good and I always have just a little dark chocolate a […]
