  • 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

    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…

  • 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…
