What’s better than chocolate chip cookies? A super giant chocolate chip cookie, that’s what! Giant cookies are the new cake: You can decorate them with icing, shape them into a large shape of some sort, cut them into pieces, and more. Bonus: Giant chocolate chip cookies are loaded with chocolate […]
This is a lovely little twist on peanut butter pie: Almond cookie cream pie! It uses a bunch of almonds, in many forms, and the resulting flavor is a unique crowd pleaser, because it’s: creamy, no-bake, richly delicious, unique, and totally vegan! The almond butter I used for this was […]
This is hands down the BEST guacamole ever. Every time I bring this to a party, the entire thing disappears…and quickly! Someone inevitably asks for the recipe by the end of the night. The recipe is fairly simple. The key to getting this right, though, is getting the best ingredients, […]

It’s pumpkin season! What better way to celebrate than by baking up a delicious vegan and gluten-free pumpkin chai pie? Pumpkin chai pie is even better than regular pumpkin pie and features a multidimensional, more complex flavor profile, thanks to the addition of chai tea spices in place of the […]
Dates are amazing. They’re a great whole foods replacement for sugar in many whole food recipes, specifically dessert recipes. I have (had) a sizable box of dates and often make something similar to this when I do…so I’m finally sharing one of these date ball recipes with you! These are […]
Maybe you’re here for a great vegan mashed potatoes recipe. Or, maybe the fact that our potatoes are naturally purple caught your eye. Either way, this dish is not only way cooler to look at but also loads more nutritious than regular mashed potatoes! Purple sweet potatoes can be found […]
