Vegan Spider Web Peanut Butter Cups

Mango Strawberry Granola

Vegan Strawberry Shortcake French Toast Casserole
I always loved french toast as a kid. It was sweet and delicious and it always seemed like a treat! Sweet breakfast to me has always seemed like dessert, even if it is what a lot of people typically eat. And I still feel that way! So often times when I make breakfast items […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Lava Cakes
A few years back I had seen peanut butter lava cakes pop up a few times on Pinterest and said to myself, I have to make those. They just looked too good not to try making. Of course the ones that I had seen were not at all vegan, full of sugar, dairy and eggs. […]
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 Date Cinnamon Swirl Bread
I always loved cinnamon bread growing up, especially for toast! It was amazing with some butter on it for a breakfast treat!

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 […]
Vegan Blueberry Maple French Toast Casserole
One of my favorite things to do with a bunch of leftover bread is french toast casserole! I will often times put bread in the freezer if we don’t eat it all in a couple days because I don’t want it to get stale. But sometimes I forget it is in there. I had a […]
Date Pecan Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies

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.

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 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 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

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!

Creamy Vegan Mushroom Wild Rice Soup
At pretty much every restaurant in Minnesota you will find some version or other of creamy wild rice soup, usually with chicken, and everyone claims that theirs is “famous” and the “best”. I tried a few growing up, and I never thought any of them were that great, except for the version that my Mom […]
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!
