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,…

Salted Rosemary Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter
A friend of mine emailed me awhile back with a website that sells gourmet flavored peanut butters. Awesome flavors, from spicy savory Thai flavors to pina colada. Weird. Intriguing. I replied to him that instead of spending that much money, I could just replicate some of those flavors. He said that’s pretty much what he…

Toasted Coconut Mocha Slushie
I told you during my Daily Things yesterday that I’m going to try to celebrate the end of summer a little more and appreciate it while it still lasts. So even though I can’t get pictures of tall boots, scarves, pumpkins, and orange leaves out of my mind, I’m going to focus on the fact…

Boozy Brownies w/ Port Reduction Frosting
I’ve got a treat for you. No, this is not a treat-with-hidden-black-beans kind of treat. This is not a tastes-more-decadent-than-it-really-is kind of treat. This is a splurge. A seriously chocolately brownie filled with sugar, flour, oil, loads of chocolate, and booze. And I’m not sorry. I really was planning on just making plain brownies without…

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! …

Chocolate Chai Protein Shake
Got a quick fantastic drink for you today! I have been working on my own healthier vegan version of a Wendy’s frosty — this is not that recipe, it still needs to be perfected — but I’ve been going through some chocolate almond milk ice cubes in those recipe trials. I’m also adding them to…

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…

Busy Woman’s Iced Mocha
GUYS, GUESS WHAT I did yesterday!!! I gave notice at work! Yikes. I got a great opportunity at a different firm. I’ll be much more legit-lawyer than I am at my current job, so I’m really excited. Plus mortified. I have two different offices right now, so had to give notice to two bosses and…

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…
