vegan carrot cake + vegan icing recipe nomnomnom

Yes, it is SUPER amazing! Carrot cake is something I always ate when out and about, but never actually attempted to make myself. Holy crap have I been missing out! I am not a huge fan of carrot cakes that have fruit in them like pineapple or raisins. It's just not my thing! So making my own meant adding or subtracting whatever my little heart desired! Pretty sweet deal if you ask me :) So check out the recipe! I have also included the recipe I used for the icing which was pretty killer as well, … [Read more...]

peanut butter cookie time

Cooking things for other people always makes me so happy! It's super rewarding and when it's for someone else, I seem to go a little more crazy. I baked a bunch of cookies over the holidays to share with others and these peanut butter cookies were one of the recipes I whipped up. Baking to me is a ton of fun, but I don't feel like I am the best at it. This recipe was very simple though - I don't think I could have messed it up if I tried! I think if there was one thing you could change about … [Read more...]

So I very much love pecans which is a good thing because my grandparents have a pecan tree! I always end up with tons in my freezer and I love finding new ways to use them. Pecan pie is my favorite (check out the one I made for Thanksgiving!), but I wanted a quick cookie recipe so I went with pecan sandies. I had actually never made them and I am not sure if what I made is the true version of a pecan sandie... but they were delicious! I wanted to make these little guys extra cute so I decided … [Read more...]

pumpkin biscotti

A while back I posted my basic biscotti recipe. It's pretty awesome and you can add whatever your little heart desires in order to fit your taste buds. I mentioned my pumpkin biscotti because the recipe is very different. Pumpkin is something that when you bake with, well, it kinda changes everything! It can take the place of eggs and oil while giving awesome flavor to whatever you are cooking. I made a bunch of biscotti for my Dad to take to work and this is one that I just sort of made … [Read more...]

my thanksgiving dinner

For the first time ever, I cooked a meal for Thanksgiving at our very own place! My parents came over and we all stuffed our faces with delicious food. I just wanted to share all the goodies we had, along with recipes of course. My vegan green bean casserole - I super duper love this stuff so I made an extra large batch so I'd have plenty of leftovers. I also added in some sauteed mushrooms and onions because I had em left over. It was an awesome addition! Potatoes Au Gratin - My … [Read more...]
