I was recently in Berlin and found lots of cheap, exciting products at their totally vegan supermarket chain, Veganz. There was no way I was coming back to America empty handed with just the memory of all the dope finds, so I packed some essentials in my suitcase including vegan Nutella, […]
In light of what’s happening in the world and in my life, I have forgotten to love myself. I cannot control the outcome of the presidency, nor can I control the outcome of any relationship, friendship, or my future. All I can control right now is my faith in God […]
It’s fall, y’all! I invited a very talented baker//blogger friend of mine, Liz Davenport, to come upstate with myself and some girlfriends to go apple picking and make sweet treats. The result was this delicious collaboration: Mini Apple Upside-Down Cakes. Made with Macoun apples from Salinger’s Orchard and baked by […]
I remember the first time I saw a champagne grape: I must have been 9 years old, trailing along besides my mom at a fancy grocery store, impressed at how gracefully she was able to select ingredients for the engagement dinner she was throwing that night. Once in the produce […]
I remember driving cross country on a big tour through the midwest a couple years ago. I love gas station snacks, but there was something special about the gas station snacks in the midwest– homemade rice krispie treats. Each one was individually wrapped, different shapes and unlabeled, making me think […]
I love trashy gas-station puppy chow as much as the next person…but I wanted to make a version that didn’t make me feel trashy. So I’ve created a vegan, gluten-free version that incorporates the bittersweet superfood, Cocao Nibs, and a touch of saltiness, Peanuts! Go ahead, class it up :) […]
When I was in Israel, I fell in love with Halva, a dense sesame based dessert. Back home in New York, I’m simply a chocolate lover. I’ve mixed sesame butter, or Tahini, with Chocolate, Banana, Coconut and lots of other good stuff to make this Gluten-Free and Vegan Chocolate Tahini […]
I have recently gone completely vegan. After the initial great feeling of making this decision, I got flooded with fear– “WHAT ABOUT THE SWEETS??? WHAT ABOUT TREATS AND DESSERTS AND COOKIES AND AND AND…?!?!” When I thought I had it tough, I turned to my friend who told me she […]
I love simple, especially when it comes to baking! Every time a new recipe comes out of the oven and it’s actually GOOD I’m still amazed. I should have known better with these cookies, they are my mom’s recipe! And moms always know best ;) These cookies are soft, pillowy, […]
It’s FALL y’all, that means pumpkin everything: Pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin pie, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cheesecake…and if you’re like me, you wonder how you can make all of those things in a tasty, guilt-free way! With my Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe, you can enjoy all of the fall flavors without […]
Growing up in the south, we had a huge peach tree in our backyard that I would climb all over in the summer. Peach pies were my favorite desert! But since living in New York I haven’t encountered a single Peach Pie. It’s so depressing. So I took matters into […]
Just as FUN as the classic American favorite, except this one is VEGAN! I used Kamut instead of Rice Krispies for a varying texture and depth of flavor. I have also substituted butter for coconut oil and used vegan chocolate chips. It’s like an Almond Joy that you don’t have […]
I have a confession to make: Rice Krispies Treats are a recent obsession of mine. It’s an honor to put my own Vegan spin on the Classic. I think everything is FUNNER with Sprinkles and Chocolate…I also added Toasted Coconut Flakes, Almonds, and Chocolate Covered Pretzels to mine because WHY […]
Sinead O’Connor sings about her ex-boyfriend the same way I sing the praises of these Chocolate Chip Cookies. They are thin, crispy, buttery, sweet, and just plain perfect. My only concern is that you may eat too many ;) Print”Nothing Compares” Chocolate Chip Cookies Prep Time: 15 minutesCook Time: 25 […]
It’s a vegan, gluten-free nightmare. But for the rest of us with a huge sweet tooth (and for every girl who is single on a Friday night), this Chocolate Bread Pudding is a dream come true!! Believe it or not, you don’t need a million eggs to make Bread Pudding. […]
I dare you to try eating just one of these cookies and not the entire plate ;) I have read before that adding a bit of crunch to everything you make creates an addictive texture sensation for your mouth. Although the article I was reading was talking about adding Cheetos […]
I had been dreaming of this brownie for 2 weeks before I finally had the chance to make it. My original idea included Root Beer in the batter and Cheesecake topping. Let me tell you it was a disaster. The second time around, I consulted my Mom’s next-door-neighbor (who is […]
The first time I made this cake was to celebrate the birthday of a very lovely woman. As I presented it to her filled with candles, I could see that the thoughtful decorations of fresh strawberries and sprinkles really touched her. Go the extra step and make your cake not […]
