Last weekend we went apple picking, and lots of apples means dehydrated cinnamon apple slices. Since I dusted off the dehydrator, and also saw my abundance of flax seed meal, I decided to try my hand at crackers again. Last time I made them (a few years ago), I used peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, flax, … Continue reading Raw Recipe: Crackers!
For my birthday I really wanted a cake...a guilt free cake. I was looking up raw desserts and found this gem: Raw Orange Chocolate Cheesecake. Now mine doesn't look as pretty as the one on www.rawmazing.com, but it tasted delicious. I think my problem was not getting the coconut smooth enough (I made coconut butter instead … Continue reading Raw Orange Chocolate Cheesecake

I like to think of these as fake little macaroons, or Mounds bites. They're my go-to snack when it's 8 o'clock at night and I'm craving something sweet. They take about 5 minutes to prepare and 10-13 minutes to bake and only use 3 ingredients. (The thing on the right is a "dirty diaper". It's … Continue reading Chocolate Filled Coconut Bites
Last weekend I was craving a grilled cheese sandwich. I don't seem to have the best of luck when trying vegan cheese (past brands have been gross), so I did a search on the best vegan cheeses and decided on Follow Your Heart brand.

During the month of December, the Food Network sends out a 12 Days of Cookies newsletter with recipes. Last year they all looked so delicious and this year I decided to try to make all of them. One flaw in my plan was having to eat all those cookies. Well, I at least did the … Continue reading Paula Deen's Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies {Vegan}
In every sense of the word, Thanksgiving means family, football and food...specficially turkey. Personally, I don't have any problem with eating meat/dairy/whatever every once in a while, especially when it's difficult to accommodate a special diet, but my problem is that I don't like turkey (or chicken or pork). Since I've moved to PA two years ago, … Continue reading A Very Vegetarian Thanksgiving
