Veganizing Julia: Vegan Apple Tarte Tatin

Veganizing Julia: Vegan Apple Tarte Tatin

Let me just paint you a picture. First, you have to think about caramel. Smooth, sweet, with a hint of darkness to it. Chunks of apples are drowned it it, bathed in it, until they take on that same caramel colour. Then all of it

Recently, I was browsing about on the interwebz (as you do) and came across this article on The Hot Vegan Food Trends of the moment. Aquafaba is #1–yay! But there were a few others in there that piqued my interest, as well, like the “Goth 

Banoffee Pie In a Jar {Vegan}

Banoffee Pie In a Jar {Vegan}

I only had Banoffee Pie for the first time quite recently. I think I had it at Chewie’s, which does a pretty great version, considering it’s a NOLA-inspired restaurant. You see, Banoffee is quite a British dessert; it’s a mix of bananas, pastry cream and 

Chocolate Pumpkin Beer Cake {Vegan}

Chocolate Pumpkin Beer Cake {Vegan}

This cake has rapidly become my go-to when it comes to birthdays. Truthfully, I am kind of snob when it comes to baked goods. Despite the fact that my kid loves Oreos, we very seldom have them in the house. I prefer to send him

Pumpkin-Spiced Brownies {Vegan}

It’s Thanksgiving this weekend, and you know what that means… Tofurky for all! Okay, so not really… I’m not the hugest Tofurkey fan, but I am grateful for all the great vegetarian versions of holiday feasts out there that give me an alternative to the

Coconut Key Lime Pie {Vegan}

Recipe number 2 this week on the theme of coconut-lime! This is a variation of the lemon meringue pie that I wrote for my cookbook, Aquafabulous! I just made it up, though, so it didn’t actually make it into the cookbook… whoops! This is really,

Am I the only one that doesn’t “get” smoothie bowls? I mean, I get that they are pretty, and instagram-worthy, but how do you even eat them? I like my smoothie in a to-go mug with a straw! Usually because I never actually have time 

Vegan Lemon Squares

Vegan Lemon Squares

It’s the middle of winter, and I don’t know about you, but I’m craving bright food. Citrus, bright colours, pops of flavor… all just what I need right now to wake up my palate. The other night, I was seriously craving lemon bars. Like, seriously. 

Blueberry Scones with Lemon, Rosemary and Oatmeal

Blueberry Scones with Lemon, Rosemary and Oatmeal

If there’s one thing that defines my values as a foodie (other than taste; the buck always stops there), it’s eat local. Supporting local farmers and eating seasonally is something I’m really passionate about, because it’s good for the economy, and the more money that
