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…

Blueberry Lemon Coffee Cake
Another week, another loaf baked. Fall just brings out the baker in me. It will be an unofficial goal to post one baked good recipe a week for the rest of the fall/winter season. No promises, no pressure. But as long as this desire to bake keeps up, I’m going to keep frequently posting treats.

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,…

Pumpkin & Almond Croissants
Yes, yet another pumpkin recipe! Trader Joe’s is selling pumpkin croissants this year. I want them. They are not vegan. Fine! I will make my own. Take that, Trader Joe’s! I made a quickie version that is ridiculously fast, super satisfying, and a really fun fall breakfast. Or dessert!

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…

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! …
