I have always been a fan of tart sweet lemon desserts, especially things involving lemon curd like lemon bars!  I saw some lemon bars on Instagram that someone had recently made and it reminded me of how delicious they are and how much I love them!  So I decided to make a lemon bar recipe that I have made in the past, but make it even better by adding in some strawberries to make them Vegan Strawberry Lemonade Bars!  Strawberries and lemon make me think of spring after all and it definitely feels like spring here now!  I am still waiting for the flowering trees ..read more

I am so ready for spring!  The weather is finally getting warmer, and I think the snow is behind us finally.  Just waiting for the grass to be greener and everything to start blooming but I am just happy to be enjoying time outside with it above 50 degrees.  I am also all about the spring recipes lately!  To me, strawberries, pistachios and lemon all are good things to enjoy in the spring so I decided to make oatmeal cookies with this flavor combo!  These Vegan Strawberry Lemon Pistachio Oatmeal Cookies turned out sooo good! I love oatmeal cookies because of their ch ..read more

I am sooo ready for spring and all of the things that come with it.  It has been snowing for a few days here in Minnesota right now so it doesn't feel like spring quite yet.  Yesterday we went to a flower show just to escape the snow and cold and forget about the fact that we aren't quite in the green grass and flowers blooming stage here and it was nice to enjoy flowers even if they weren't outside.  Until I can enjoy spring I figure I might as well enjoy spring flavors!  So I made a Vegan Lemon Pistachio Carrot Cake last weekend!  Carrot cake is essential for spring ..read more

Samoas were always my favorite Girl Scout cookies growing up, what's not to love about a vanilla cookie with chewy caramel, coconut and chocolate?!  So now I love making desserts with that same flavor profile.  I have made cakes, cupcakes, replica cookies, granola, energy balls.  This time I decided to make Vegan Samoa Doughnuts!  I have been buying a lot of vegan doughnuts lately so I thought why not make some of my own.  These turned out so delicious I decided to share them with you all! I love having a doughnut pan, so I can make different flavors of doughnuts at ..read more

   I have always loved monkey bread!  My Grandma used to make it, and it was always one of my favorite treats, especially warm from the oven all gooey and caramelly.  Classic monkey bread is a pull apart bread with a sweet buttery caramel coating the pieces of bread and sometimes crunchy nuts (my Grandma always added pecans or walnuts) and it is so heavenly!  I love to make my own and recently I decided to make some with a different flavor profile, sweet strawberries!  A Vegan Strawberry Monkey Bread!   I used the same vanilla scented sweet yeast bread base t ..read more

I love birthday cake flavored things with sprinkles, all year round not just on my Birthday or around my Birthday.  I mean, what is not to like about vanilla and sprinkles?!  I have made birthday cake waffles, birthday cake cookies, and birthday cake flavored popcorn, but the other day I decided to try something new and make a birthday cake flavored white chocolate.  I had recently seen a birthday cake batter flavored white chocolate bar that wasn't vegan and decided that I wanted one so I was going to have to make one.  Not only that, I am on a white chocolate and chocola ..read more

  I love home made granola!  It is so easy to make, and so much better than store bought that since I started making my own I have never gone back.  I love that I can create my own flavors as well!  The only problem with it is that when I have a pan of it cooling on the counter it is really hard to stop snacking on as it is so good and so delicious when a little bit warm still.  Last weekend I made a really simple one and it was so delicious I have to share the recipe.  It is Strawberry Granola!  Although I love nuts and coconut shreds in my granola much of t ..read more

Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays to make desserts for because I love all things pink and berry flavored!  So this year I thought it would be fun to make a Vegan Strawberry Rosewater Cake!  I know Valentine's Day is not for a few weeks, but I make stuff for the entire month before to enjoy!  This one turned out so delicious I had to share it with you all!  Also, it has been really cold here in Minnesota, it was in the single digits all last week so it was the perfect time to stay inside and bake a cake! For this cake I used my vanilla cake batter, and scented ..read more

Christmas snuck up so fast this year, I can't believe I am already posting my Christmas food!  I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season so far! Normally I make lasagna for Christmas but I decided to make something different this year.  I have always wanted to make a savory pie for Christmas and this year I finally got around to making one! I wanted it to be filled with veggies, and some protein so I came up with a Winter Vegetable Lentil Pie! It turned out so delicious I had to share the recipe with you all! For the filling I included my favorite veggies, sweet potato ..read more

It's not exactly a white Christmas here in Minnesota right now, we had rain last weekend, it is above freezing and it is rather brown outside.  That is ok though.  It is better for driving, perfect for running and I am still feeling festive as ever!  We visited a Christmas market last weekend, made a gingerbread house and I made a festive cake!  This Vegan Marble Peppermint Cake! I love a good marble cake for celebrations and I thought it would be wonderful with peppermint for a festive twist! This cake is pretty easy to make as far as cakes go.  For the cake batter ..read more
