  • Classic Sugar Cookies

    One of my all-time favorite recipes has finally arrived!  I can’t even believe I’ve never posted this.  These cookies are super basic and have been a regular for me since I was little. The recipe comes from my very first cookbook, Williams Sonoma Kids Cooking.  It was a really fun book when I was little. …

  • Fix My Pics: Vanilla Bean Pumpkin Cheesecake

    Don’t know what Fix My Pics means?  Check out this post! Last Thanksgiving, I posted this pumpkin vanilla bean cheesecake.  I absolutely love it.  My guests, vegan and non-vegan alike, all love it (or at least that’s what they told me, and I didn’t see any cheesecake remnants leftover – save for this one piece…

  • Hazelnut Sipping Chocolate

    When you were little, did you ever make a batch of hot cocoa that was pretty much equal parts cocoa mix to water/milk?  (Hope I’m not the only one…)  Well, here’s the adult version.  To make it sound like a classy adult-appropriate drink, we can call it “Sipping Chocolate” a la Trader Joe’s.   I saw…

  • Chocolate Babka

    I have had a torn out recipe from Cooking Light for years: chocolate babka.   Even though I cook all the time, there are still recipes every now and then that are completely intimidating.  This was one of them.   One that I simply decided to get over.  Last week when I made my simple white bread,…

  • Mocha Cappuccino Mousse

      This morning I wanted a special Sunday coffee drink while I cozied up on my couch to read some blogs for awhile.  Feeling a little pumpkin-ed out, I decided to recreate the mocha cappuccino mousse I had last weekend at Tower Bridge Bistro for their Vegan Chef Challenge. My version isn’t quite as rich,…

  • Orange Whiskey Brown Sugar Cake

    I put whiskey in a cake.   A really really nommy cake. If you’ve been reading for awhile, you may have noticed that I enjoy a boozy birthday cake.  This past birthday I drenched a blueberry cake in Frangelico.  The year before I drenched an almond cake in amaretto.  I thought I’d keep with my boozy…

  • Pistachio Tofu Pudding

    This is a long overdue recipe.  I promised it to y’all awhile back.  I wish I had some great excuse, about how I’ve been slaving away in the kitchen trying to get this recipe just right but my trials failed.  But no.  I just had no idea where to start, so I procrastinated.  And it feels like I’ve…

  • Raw Matcha Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites

    Here’s an easy delicious little raw treat!  I made a matcha-free version of these last week (but ate them all before I took any pictures.  Oops.)  This morning I woke up needing a small treat before my workout, which normally would be my breakfast truffles.  For a special treat, I whipped up some of these! …

  • Butterscotch Tofu Pudding

    I absolutely love butterscotch pudding.  The powdered, packaged, contains BHA kind.  Yes.  I’ve only had it a couple times in the last few years.  I’d like to say that’s because it’s unhealthy, but honestly it’s just because I thought it wasn’t vegan.  Turns out it is.  Turns out I want to eat it everysingleday.  Well, maybe vary…

  • Strawberry Coconut Ice Cream

      Alright, I have a second dessert post in a row for you. I have three wonderful savory recipes that I’ve been trying to get up, but I keep running into seriously stupid road blocks.  Mostly because I’m being way slow this week.    It’s my last week at work before I start my new…
