Raspberry Linzer Cookies
I hope you enjoyed your weekend! The highlight of mine was meeting my sister at our parent’s house early yesterday morning to treat our Dad to a Father’s Day feast. I brought along a basket filled with ingredients for pancakes and sausage scramble, and Christina, my sister, brought her mad chopping skills. Boy can that…
5 Ingredient Vegan Rice Crispy Treats
The first time I enjoyed a rice crispy treat was at my girlfriend Jenna’s house. We’d just finished chowing down on a pot of KD; the staple in any 8 year old’s diet, when she offered to make us a dessert. The marshmallow mixture never made it to the pan. Instead, Jenna and I sat…
2 minute Mango Citrus Sorbet
My attempts at making vegan marshmallows this weekend turned out to be a total fail, but that didn’t stop us from having a great weekend! I’m enjoying Instagram more and more for capturing our adventures, so here goes! I picked up Kevin from the airport early Saturday morning that left me feeling like a zombie…
Chocolate Banana Cake Bars (vegan + gluten-free)
I have a hard time walking away from a sale. I thought I’d learned my lesson from the 2011 canned pumpkin sale incident, but my freezer full of over-ripe bananas says otherwise. It’s just so challenging to say no to an over-ripe banana. They’re perfect for banana soft-serve, green smoothies, banana pops and can be…
Raw + Vegan Nanaimo Bars
I woke up yesterday craving Nanaimo bars – a dessert usually reserved for Christmas. But with the hubby gone to London, a day of absolutely no plans, and a craving for chocolate, I decided to just go for it. As we’ve learned from similar experiences in the past, I love my chocolate treats on the…
No bake Frosty Chocolate Banana Cream Cups
Remember the Dole recipe contest I mentioned last week? I got started my entry on Sunday morning with the full intention of grilling bananas, pineapple and tempeh, but the hot weather distracted me and I ended up with cups of ice cream. I didn’t even get as far as preheating the grill! Darn you bananas…
Chai Spice Doughnuts with Almond Frosting
I’ve turned into a chai monster. Cold almond milk, chocolate protein cakes, hot rice, pancakes, porridge, muffins, doughnuts… all perfect opportunities to liven things up with a bit of chai spice, wouldn’t you say? It doesn’t end there. Since returning from India, I’ve gotten in the habit of adding generous amounts of chaat masala, cumin,…
Gift for Mom: Pea-not Chocolate Truffles
Mother’s Day has always been special at our house. Wait, let me try that again… We’ve always tried to make Mother’s Day special, whether that’s been the case for the past 26 years is another story. This especially holds true for the 3 year period Christina; my sister, and I were teenagers together. Our hormones…
5 Ingredient Chewy Chocolate Coconut Cookies
Nothing says thank you quite like a batch of homemade cookies. Now, if you want your thank you to be really special, go a step further and make the cookies with chocolate chips, cacao powder, or a bit of both. Add chocolate and you’re just about guaranteed to make the recipient jump up and down…
Fudge-Tastic Brownies (vegan, gluten-free, grain-free + nut-free)
Oh have I got a treat for you today! I’ve held on to this recipe for months and am wondering why the heck I waited this long to make it. I guess there just isn’t enough time in the day to try each and every single recipe I have pinned, tweeted and Facebooked. But there…
