Vegan almond cookies with almonds…amazing, really, with or without an added almond on top (although adding them makes the cookies super cute!) I love shopping discounts, and for some reason, that has resulted in a situation where I have a ton of almond butter sitting around the house. Almond butter […]

These matcha shortbreads were a purposeful endeavor to create some cookies (of this exact flavor) that are vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and nut-free. I was pretty excited at first, starting with my regular recipe of matcha shortbreads (not published) and deciding how it might make sense to de-allergy-fy it. Four attempts […]
I’m constantly curious to see what happens when adding carefully selected but out-of-context flavors together. These masala oatmeal raisin cookies were born out of that curiosity! Soft and tender, the masala flavor is very subtle–you’ll miss it if you’re not careful! These bake up nicely and quickly and don’t require […]
Love is always in season! Originally conceptualized for Valentine’s Day, these little raspberry jam hearts are perfect for any time of year! Slightly crunchy with just the right amount of sweet, the only special tools you need for these are two heart shaped cookie cutters that fit inside one another. […]
I wasn’t sure exactly what to call this recipe, since although it’s been a perennial favorite for the last three months around here, I don’t have a title for it worthy of the powerful taste this dish (quite literally) brings to the table. It’s the result of initially endeavored to […]
Especially with summer just around the corner, sometimes, that barbecue flavor just CALLS…but lucky for us, there are healthier and kinder alternatives to chicken…and no, I’m not even talking about fake meat here (although you’re welcome to go that route!) I’m talking about the type of alternative that’s not only […]
I have a confession…I have a mega sweet tooth. BUT, I don’t really eat a lot of sweets. I do bake a lot of sweets, usually for events, friends, and family, but the type of sweets I generally indulge are those which are made of fruit…like this one! “What? I came here […]
This pie crust is the result of making a celebratory pie for a friend at work after a milestone was reached. Those that are in the know are aware that anything I make is going to be plant-based…but the nice thing about work is that not everyone is “in the […]
Growing up, my family always used to make sweet potato casserole at Thanksgiving, and sometimes Christmas, too. When I went vegan many years ago, this was one of the first recipes I aimed to veganize. Now that I’m also somewhat of a health freak as well, I admittedly don’t make […]
These superfood energy balls (think no-bake healthy cookies!) have just a handful of ingredients, are quick and easy to make, and give us an excuse to eat more superfoods! Oil-free, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, low-fat, refined sugar free, soy free…I think we got all the “frees” with this one 😀 I […]
Roasted Brussels sprouts are one of our family’s favorite winter vegetables. They’re savory and satisfying while equally easy to prepare. We love finding the entire stalk of Brussels sprouts for sale at the grocery as the weather gets colder–the sprouts are fresher, and we know they’re in season! As a […]
