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, […]
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 […]
We love going to the Asian grocery store to pick out fruit. There are just so many types of fruit that we can only find there…and by now, you guys know I LOVE fruit! Enter the dragon fruit smoothie: One of my obsessions at the moment is dragon fruit, or […]

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 […]
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 […]
Cauliflower pizza crust is unlike any other pizza crust you’ve ever had, but one bite and you’ll be hooked! It holds form when you pick up a slice of pizza–just like the traditional kind–yet this one is gluten-free, oil-free, without refined flour, comprised of whole foods, and higher in protein, […]
After a recent visit to Sun Cafe, I was inspired by a dish they make there called “sun nachos”. Sun nachos are completely raw vegan nachos made using raw jicama slices as chips, and the toppings range from nut-based sauces to veggies and guacamole. They’re delicious, and you can top […]
