  • Brie, Basil & Dark Chocolate Panini

    I have an amazing decadent recipe for you.  As soon as I found that vegan brie I raved about earlier, I knew I had to make this recipe.  My favorite brie recipe from my pre-vegan days.  Aside from being magically delicious, I love this recipe because it is the first (that I can remember) Giada…

  • Raw Cherry Pie Cheesecake

      Last night I had the wonderful and sadly rare opportunity to sit down and have dinner with a few vegan friends at our nearby vegan restaurant.  I feel so lucky to have the chance to talk with people with the same beliefs and habits as me.  I walked away from a delicious meal wanting…

  • Mexican Chocolate Drizzled Popcorn

    I bring to you awesome dessert popcorn! Yay! Growing up, I had a friend whose mom would make us popcorn for dessert with melted white chocolate drizzled over it.  It was shockingly good.  I completely intend on figuring out how to make vegan white chocolate since it’s so hard to find.  But until that day…

  • Vanilla Bean Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

    Another light fruit-based dessert!  You’re going to see PLENTY of these in the near future. I actually made these for breakfast.  Well, a post-breakfast snack.  That’s the same, right? So good.  Way simpler than you’d think.  Satisfying.  Guilt-free.

  • Strawberry, Mango, Banana & White Port Sorbet

    I made sorbet with my food processor tonight!  I should also tell you that I’m so excited about it, I initially wrote that first sentence in all caps.  But that seemed a little aggressive.  I don’t want to scare you away.  Anyway …. 

  • Coconut Chocolate Almond Cookies

    I owed a friend of mine a batch of cookies (LONG overdue since this was a thank you batch of cookies for helping move all my stuff into my apartment…in October!) Whipping up a batch of cookies is fairly easy for me.  Then he had the nerve to go Paleo on me!  So I looked…

  • Chocolate Chip Banana Bread (No Sugar Added)

    Bananerrrrrrr bread is here! I’m pretty happy with my banana bread creation.  I always have a bunch of bananas getting old on my counter.  I almost never just eat a banana, but I freeze them for my smoothies all the time.   But Saturday morning I woke up with a brown bunch of bananas on…

  • Pineapple Macadamia Breakfast Truffles

      Dear Spring,  Thank you for making my days brighter, in so many ways!  Love,  Leslie  Sorry folks, getting a little too excited about spring here!  This was my first winter back in Northern California after several years in Southern California, and although I handled it much better than I anticipated, I am soooo ready…

  • Slow Cooked Mocha Pudding Cake

      When I got out my slow cooker recently for my saag recipe, I found myself drooling at the memory of my old favorite slow cooker recipe: mocha pudding cake. The main ingredients of that cake were sugar, flour, butter, and eggs.  I looked it up to double check.  No joke. I definitely don’t eat…

  • Chocolate Coconut Breakfast Truffles

    Breakfast truffles are one of my favorite things.  Dessert you can guilt-less-ly eat for breakfast.  I make these delicious raw energy bites to eat in the morning before a workout.  I’ve made all kinds of yummy flavors.   This is an extra-special breakfast truffle recipe because I made it with my wonderful friend Maria –…
