This dessert is a deceptively simple crowd pleaser. It's light and refreshing with minimal processed sugar. It's also beautiful, and almost impossible to screw up. I've brought this to two family gatherings so far, and it's been a huge hit. No one ever suspects that it's vegan! A few notes, be sure to cut up the fruit … Continue reading Easy Summer Dessert: {vegan} Fruit Tart

Recipe: Incredibly Easy Homemade Cannoli
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
Vitacost Haul
This is only my second order from Vitacost, so I won't say I'm obsessed yet, but I love the huge selection of beauty products. I'd say they have a bigger selection and cheaper prices than Amazon when it comes to natural hair care and makeup products. I have a recurring order of vitamins for everyone. … Continue reading Vitacost Haul
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
Pumpkin Spice Protein Waffles
I got a waffle maker on Friday, and since then, I've been obsessed. I've wanted one for a while, but hated the thought of spending money on a single use kitchen item. I'm sorry I put it off for so long, because it rocks. 1/2 cup protein powder (I used Sun Warrior Vanilla) 1/4 flour … Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Protein Waffles
Filled Zebra Cupcakes
(I apologize all of these pictures are kind of blurry taken with my HTC One...only I would stick a full SD card in my DSLR at the last minute and not have time to swap it to take pictures.) After my huge success (to me) with my Dirt Bike Cake back in July, I planned … Continue reading Filled Zebra Cupcakes
