When I was growing up, every Saturday after dance class we'd pick up a pizza for dinner from an Italian restaurant near my house. Every once in a while we'd get cannolis because they had *the* best homemade cannolis. I'm super snobby about cannolis (and tirimisu) and I promise these will not disappoint. I was … Continue reading Recipe: Incredibly Easy Homemade Cannoli

Recipe: Peanut Butter Protein Cookies
These cookies are really delicious and they're healthy! They're a cross between an oatmeal raisin cookie and a peanut butter cookie. You can add in raisins and chocolate chips if you like, or leave them out if you don't. There's no added sugar in these. The sweetness comes from the banana. I prefer to use … Continue reading Recipe: Peanut Butter Protein Cookies
Raspberry Cheesecake
As a vegan, it's always a little weird going to people's houses for meals, especially big holiday gatherings. There's a fine line between politely declining something, and seeming like a snob. I always get a little nervous, just because I don't want people to think I'm being pretentious, and I also don't want anyone to … Continue reading Raspberry Cheesecake
Recipe: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
This is one of my favorite desserts because it's so easy. This weekend we had peanut butter chocolate chip, but the possibilities are endless. For Valentine's Day I made a Cherry Garcia flavor with frozen bananas, frozen cherries, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. We always have bananas in the freezer, just in case, but they … Continue reading Recipe: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Recipe: Raw Fig Bars
This recipe is for raw fig bars. First, because I used to love Fig Newton's as a kid (maybe because in my mind I thought they were healthy), and second because once I tried a raw fig bar from One Lucky Duck, my life changed. Just thinking about them gets my mouth watering, and they … Continue reading Recipe: Raw Fig Bars
Homemade Almond Milk: Round One
I've been wanting to make homemade nut milk for a while, but it seemed like it wouldn't be cost effective since nuts are so expensive. I found a bunch of different recipes, some make homemade twice as much as store bought, and some would make it slightly less. I usually buy Almond Breeze because it … Continue reading Homemade Almond Milk: Round One
My Favorite Greek Breakfast Pastry
About this time 7 years ago I was prepping for my first trip to Europe. I was so excited and so incredibly nervous. I was going to Greece to study abroad for 4 months. I didn't know anyone else going, and I had barely left the country before (except for a walk across the border … Continue reading My Favorite Greek Breakfast Pastry
Asian Inspired Stuffed Mushrooms
The only thing I had my heart set on for Thanksgiving was stuffed mushrooms. My mom used to make them for all the holidays and I love them pretty much no matter how they're made. So when my husband said he wanted sushi for Thanksgiving I was still determined to have my stuffed mushrooms. I … Continue reading Asian Inspired Stuffed Mushrooms
The Pumpkin Pie You *Have* To Make
This pumpkin pie is vegan and gluten free, but if you put it on the table at Thanksgiving, I promise no one will complain that it's missing anything. I was never a huge pumpkin pie fan because I always had pie with that canned pie filling. This pie has more of a rustic taste to … Continue reading The Pumpkin Pie You *Have* To Make
Mint Chocolate Chip Brownies
This is another simple recipe. There's only a few ingredients and I think it's pretty fool proof. These could be eaten plain as brownies, or topped with a mint icing as cupcakes. We opted to top them with So Delicious Mint Chip ice cream and were not disappointed. Makes 12 brownie/cupcakes: 1 cup flour … Continue reading Mint Chocolate Chip Brownies
