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 was a request: “Make something blueberry”. Requests from friends are great because they not only give me an idea what people like but gives me a reason to create something I might not have normally thought of. This delicious blueberry cheesecake is not only dairy-free/vegan but happens to be […]
Vegan white chocolate DOES exist, and it works just the same for baking as the regular stuff! The vegan world doesn’t see a lot of white chocolate desserts–mostly because vegan white chocolate chips are extremely hard to find in stores. So, am I going to tell you to go to […]
These are not your normal, everyday sort of peanut butter cookies. These are packed with the maximum amount of peanut butter that a cookie can still hold, and on top of that, these soft, moist ball-shape cookies melt in your mouth and are amazing fresh out of the oven or […]
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 […]
You know fall is coming…the air is getting a bit chillier, the colors are getting warmer and rosier everywhere you look, and classic treats like those involving salted caramel are everywhere… Well, we’ve got our own version of that! These bars are cute and delightful…but they’re so rich and delicious […]
I have the unique advantage of getting to experience a lot of Chinese food and culture even though I’m not myself Chinese. Often, that leads to some really interesting flavors and experiences that I’m not sure I would have ever encountered otherwise. In the case of this particular dish, I’m […]
Banana ice cream has got to be my single favorite thing to do with the seemingly millions of bananas I tend to acquire. For example, yesterday, I filled an entire reusable shopping bag with them since the grocery store was selling the “overripe” ones at half price. “Overripe” bananas are […]
Cashews are kind of like “vegan dairy”. When you need something creamy, whether it’s a sauce, cheesecake-like texture, cheese-like flavor, etc, there’s probably a delicious way to do it with cashews. Never had a cheesecake made of nuts? Today is your lucky day 🙂 This is for anyone who wants […]
I have wonderful memories from my childhood of making cookies, cutting them into fun shapes, and decorating them. I especially loved gingerbread cookies for their unique flavor, (and that was likely the only reason we went out and bought molasses every year.) I still make gingerbread cookies with molasses, but […]
A while ago, I got an ice cream maker as a gift, and it really was one of the best gifts ever. I’ve always loved ice cream, but it’s no secret that pretty much anything commercially available is packed full of refined sugar, unnatural fats, preservatives, and much more, so […]
