Vegan King Cake

I’ve been dying to make a King Cake for the Mardi Gras Season because it’s literally impossible to find a Vegan King Cake in South Florida, which sucks. Since I always try to make things a little healthier, this dilemma gave me the perfect opportunity to do so. I’d seen some good recipes, like Big…

Vegan Raisin Cookies

My son was watching cartoons earlier and the characters were eating Raisin Cookies so he asks me for the cookies. Confused by this, I asked what cookies? He replies, “the raisin cookies that Crissie Carson was eating”. So, in an effort to satisfy this craving, we set out to make some. They came out fantastic….

Protein Twix

Probably one of the best things I’ve ever made. I had to stop myself from eating the whole batch! My husband’s sister came to visit us from Dubai and brought me these wonderful dates. It was a very large box so I’ve been trying to use them to make lots of different things. I got…

Single Serving Protein Cookie

So I saw on someone’s FB Story the other day ago that they had a “chocolate sesame soy sauce cookie” and said that it was delicious. Curious, I set out to give it a try. Since it sounded a little strange to me, I wanted to try to make just one. I used regular flour…

Brownie Bottom Cheezecake w/ Strawberry

I set out to make a Gluten Free Angel Food Cake using Aquafaba for my mom’s birthday today and despite consulting a few Facebook groups I’m in, I had had NO luck. The box cake was a fail, I don’t even want to post a picture. Ohh yea, because I actually didn’t even take one….

Jessi’s Gingerbread Cake

My husband, son and I took a trip to visit my father’s side of the family this week and being vegan can be a challenge in Oklahoma. I’m lucky that they are more than willing to cater to me and my dietary preferences. The only trouble is that most of the sweets are all non…

Baked Black Cheezecake

With Halloween around the corner, last night I took to the kitchen to make my version of this Double Chocolate Halloween “Cheesecake “ except I wanted it to be pumpkin (because I just baked and puréed a HUGE pumpkin and now I need to use it – zero waste, remember?). I also don’t like raw…

Chewy Marshmallow Brownies

These yummies aren’t really very healthy but while we’re on the quarantine train and I’m making all the treats, I can say these are at least gluten free 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don’t buy into that whole gluten intolerance thing, but I did have some rice flour in the pantry that I wanted to use. I’m on…

SNAAAACKS!

Well, all this being stuck at home makes me want to try all the things on my Pinterest board. I usually like to get creative and just use the Pins as a basis or general idea for my creations, that way I can call them my own. I’ve been a busy bee lately making everything…
