Let me preface this post by saying: I am *the* worst baked good decorator on the planet. I think it's a lot of fun, but I just don't have that skill. I can barely icing a cupcake without it looking it like someone smushed it on the floor. Second disclaimer: This cake is completely egg/dairy … Continue reading My First Decorated Cake That Looked Like It Was Supposed To
Happy Independence Day everyone! Here are two desserts I made for the 4th this year. One couldn't be simpler and the other I think I just got lucky. Both desserts are non-dairy and refined sugar free. I added 1 stevia packet to each dessert (one for all 8 pops, and one for the ice cream), … Continue reading Two Deliciously Refreshing Patriotic Desserts
Yesterday, a blogger I follow on twitter, Amber DeGrace tweeted a recipe of her Buffalo Chicken Braid. It became the inspiration for our dinner. I intended on using pizza dough my dad brought me from a pizza shop in NY, and making buffalo cauliflower, but the day escaped me and all of a sudden it … Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Pizza Braid
This recipe is called "10 minute chocolate almond butter cups" but in reality it's about 3 minutes of work and 7 minutes of patiently waiting for them to freeze. I have tons of different candy molds, but mini (or regular) muffin cups are even easier because the paper peels off neater and there's no mold … Continue reading Recipe: 10 Minute Chocolate Almond Butter Cups
This shake is inspired by One Lucky Duck's Chocolate Covered Strawberry shake. My intent was to make the actual shake, using almond milk, but I soon realized I didn't have lucuma and couldn't find my maca powder (guess I'm out of that too!) Maca powder would be perfect in this Valentine's Day drink since it's an … Continue reading Recipe: Chocolate Covered Strawberry and Raspberry Shake
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

You can make it as spicy or mild as you like (I like it HOT), it's pretty much fool … Continue reading Pumpkin & Corn Curry Soup
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
Happy December everyone! I can't believe Christmas will be here before we know it. To get in the holiday spirit a few weekends ago I made the best french toast ever with eggnog...well rice nog. I was a little skeptical at first but the Rice Dream Rice Nog is delicious (as is WestSoy Chocolate Peppermint … Continue reading Vegan Eggnog French Toast
