Millionaire’s Shortbread (or homemade Twix Bars)

No apologies for this one. Yes, most of the time the recipes I post here are vegan, clean, healthy and sourced from whole ingredients. Today’s is not. So much not. Like, all the not. So if you are here for the clean vegan stuff, you

A few years back, when I first started my business, I’d bake mountains of Christmas cookies to distribute to my clients this time of the year. Well, times have changed. My teaching career took off, I entered the lucrative world of food blogging (LOL) and

Blueberry Shortcake {Vegan}

There are two schools of thought when it comes to shortcake: there are the biscuit folks and then there are the cake folks. Neither is wrong. It’s just what you prefer. Shortcake made on a biscuit tends to be a bit heavier in texture, and

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

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
