I can not speak enough words to tell you how delicious, moist, and absolutely delightful these cupcakes were. I keep going back for more…but it's ok because it's my birthday! Well, not today but they are FROM my birthday, so that should count for something. I brought these cupcakes over to my parents house today so that my Dad and I could have a mini co-op birthday cupcake moment (his birthday is on the 17th) and he ate two of these cupcakes in nearly two bites! I have never seen him eat cupcakes that way before Continue reading “Vegan Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Vanilla Bean Buttercream Frosting and a Cinnamon Date Caramel Drizzle on Top”
Vegan Fettuccine Alfredo With Mushrooms
I really love Alfredo sauce. I have always been a white sauce over red sauce kind of gal. Ever since we went vegan, I have been craving a great bowl of Fettuccine Alfredo, but I really didn't know how I was going to substitute that heavy cream sauce.

This dish was WAY WAY less fattening than a normal bowl of Fettuccine Alfredo would be. Continue reading “Vegan Fettuccine Alfredo With Mushrooms”

The sloppy joe's turned out totally soft and without any sort of crunch to it. It was like pouring a thick ragu' on a bun and trying to eat it. Needless to say, I have come a LONG way from that first attempt at making vegetarian sloppy joe's. Continue reading “Vegetarian Hawaiian Sloppy Joes For Labor Day Deliciousness”
There is NO Way That Lasagna Was Vegan…Just NO Way!!!
I have to say, I was not a believer. I couldn't imagine that I could find a vegan recipe for Lasagna that was ACTUALLY a replacement. I didn't think that there would be one that tasted SO good, I could bring it home to my mother to try. She would adore this. I am most definitely now a believer. One of the foods that I had a hard time giving up in my head was in fact, lasagna. Recently, I have found THE most AMAZING recipes all in one little vegan cookbook (that I purchased on my Kindle Fire!), “Chloe's Kitchen” by Chloe Coscarelli.
