Vegan Mirror Glaze

You probably already know this about me, but I love to bake. What you may or may not know about me is that I am terrible at decorating. Like I watch shows like Nailed It on Netflix and honestly I don’t know that I could 

Vegan Compost Cookies

Vegan Compost Cookies

Guys, I failed you. Sorry. I was in Toronto at this time last year, and I was attending a conference. There was lots to do, lots to see, and lots to eat. I had many entries on my list of places I wanted to eat 

Amaretti Cookies {Vegan}

Amaretti Cookies {Vegan}

This is my second cookie recipe this week, both of which feature aquafaba. When I was doing research for this recipe, I had to go a bit further afield–Commercial Drive to be exact. I hadn’t had amaretti cookies in quite some time. They may not 

Coconut Macaroons {Vegan & Gluten-Free}

Coconut Macaroons {Vegan & Gluten-Free}

Gentle reader, please permit me to start with a bit of a rant. There are two words that are very similar, but describe two very different cookies. The first, macaroons (two o’s) describe coconut-based cookies that are relatively simple to make. The second, macarons (one 

Veganizing Julia: Vegan Apple Tarte Tatin

Veganizing Julia: Vegan Apple Tarte Tatin

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}

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 

Fudgey Chocolate Ice Cream {Vegan}

Fudgey Chocolate Ice Cream {Vegan}

Ohhhhh… vegan ice cream. It’s a challenge. You see, in order for ice cream to work, it needs fat. Lots of fat. Fat gives it a creamy mouthfeel, but it also helps the ice cream to stay creamy, and not get too hard and unscoopable.
