  • Marzipan Black Forest Soy Ice Cream

      I cannot tell you how excited I am to finally have this ice cream!  I thought of this idea when my blog was still brand new, but I did an unusual ice cream flavor right off the bat, and wanted to have a little more variety before I did this one.      Then…

  • Hazelnut Cocoa Breakfast Truffles

    Time for more breakfast truffles!  I loved my first variety, and have been playing around with some new flavors.  I am completely addicted to these breakfast truffles – they are the perfect thing to eat before a morning workout, and they’re downright delectable.    Plus who doesn’t want sweets first thing in the morning?  Hmmm…

  • Strawberry Crumble Bars

        How do you know it’s going to be a fantastic spring?   Perhaps when strawberries this gorgeous go on sale for 99 cents a pound:  

  • “Fisher Price” Oatmeal Peanut Butter Balls

    One of my favorite treats growing up!  My mom calls these “Fisher Price” because the recipe actually came with some Fisher Price toys that my sister and I had.  The original recipe is filled with tons of honey, instant dry milk (gross!), and was impossible to make with natural peanut butter.    Now they’re revamped! …

  • Fig & Pear Crostata

    I bought a lovely bag of mixed pears at the grocery store last week, and for some reason I am just not eating them!  My response to a situation like this is easy: pie!

  • Amaretto Cake

      Another weird food holiday (my first was National Blueberry Pancake Day): it’s National Almond Day! Yippeee!  I love love love almonds.  And since it was my birthday last week, and my birthday dessert was a tempura banana (no complaining here, it was delicious), I thought I should make myself an amaretto cake – two…

  • Blueberry Muffin Soy Ice Cream

    Welcome to Flora Foodie!   Even though there are already a million food blogs out there, I’m adding one more.    I recently became vegan, and thought this would be a fun way to track my transition.  I’ll be using Flora Foodie to follow my progress, making my favorite recipes vegan, creating my own versions…
