Welp, it’s that time of year. The one where you put your skinny summer jeans away and bust out the yoga pants because ALL THE COOKIES. It’s the all-the-cookies time of year, and I’m starting with vegan shortbread, because – why not? I’m actually posting this recipe as part of The Sweetest […]
Vegan Caramel-Stuffed Double Chocolate Cookies
Um, these are definitely my new favorite cookie, and I’m not even joking. Sorry vegan peanut butter cookies… you’ve been usurped. By chocolate. And caramel. And SEA SALT!!! For realises though, I’m just now getting on this gravy train with putting salt on my cookies. AJ doesn’t really like it, so […]
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
I recently made these and decided, again, that these are in fact the perfect chocolate chip cookies. Not just the perfect vegan chocolate chip cookies, but the perfect chocolate chip cookies in general, though yes, they are vegan. Highly recommended! I recently had a craving for chocolate chip cookies (as happens rather […]
Vegan Vanilla, Raspberry, & Oreo Cake
I almost couldn’t believe it myself. I actually made a cake. A cake! But not just any cake. Ohh no. This is a Vanilla, Raspberry, & Oreo cake. Vanilla insides smothered in vanilla buttercream, filled with fresh raspberries and crushed Oreos, and topped with the same. It’s a work of […]
Vegan Cashew Cream Caramels
I am so excited to share this recipe with you guys! As I’ve mentioned recently, I just figured out how to make cashew cream and how amazing it is. Really, amazing. Every time I think of something that uses coconut cream or heavy cream the first thing my mind jumps to is, I […]
The Best Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies
My search is complete. I have been looking for the perfect vegan peanut butter cookie for a long, long time, and I have finally found it. I’ve tried numerous times and failed numerous times. I’ve searched high and low and could never seem to get it right. Until now. I decided […]
White Chocolate Almond Cookies (v, gf)
Cookie cookie cookie. <<– cookie monster voice. I’m pretty stoked on these cookies. White chocolate has always been my thing, but I don’t eat it very often because you can’t even pretend it’s remotely healthy. I think the last time I had it was around Easter time, when my parents gave […]
Chocolate & Pomegranate Oatmeal Cookies (v, gf)
Why in the world is this the first time I’ve ever purchased a pomegranate? Why?? Most likely because, as happened at the farmer’s market, AJ tells me “don’t do it! You’ll be such a grump trying to get all the seeds out!” Well, I normally listen, but not this time. I think […]
The Ultimate Vegan Brownies (v)
So let’s talk about chocolate. Specifically, brownies, because these babies are my favorite. For the entirety of my living-at-home life (you know, the one before I went off to college), brownies came out of a box, were made by Girradhelli, and were the dessert of choice in our house, if dessert were […]
Mostly Healthy Cinnamon Blueberry Coffeecake (v)
So, I tried. I really did. It started out all well with the 100% whole wheat flour, the vegan-ness, and the flax seed. And then it all went downhill from there. But anyway, I tried to make this healthy. I had all the best intentions, but lost motivation when it […]
Pear & Honey Phyllo Tarts
So, these here tarts were definitely an oops. Here’s how it happened: AJ’s mom recently made these delicious plum tarts that were super simple and required just 4 ingredients: puff pastry, plums, honey, and sugar. First she sent me a picture of one, and then served them again when we […]
