It’s Day 2 of my Ski Week! Yesterday, I made some piping hot Slow Cooker Beer Chili, so you can savour it when you’re done with the slopes. These 6 Ingredient Snowball Cookies are like Russian Tea Cakes, but these are a little less dry, which is a good thing, in my opinion. They melt …
Greetings, readers! I’ve got a treat for you today: I’m focusing on healthier Halloween snacks Recipe for your holiday parties. As adults, it is difficult to always snack well. Last Halloween, I provided some healthier vegan options compared to traditional Halloween candy. And let’s face it…traditional Halloween candy isn’t healthy. (With that said, I made …
Last year, closer to Thanksgiving, I posted a “Pie Week” because I wanted those on a dairy-free diet to enjoy lovely pies for the holidays. (In case you’re wondering, the week started with my Blueberry Port Pie — check it out here along with the rest of the recipes!) Why do I mention pies? Well, …
It’s that time of the year again, ladies and gentlemen: annual cookie swaps and white elephant parties…and I LOVE it. Me, I’m participating in two cookie swaps this year: one big one, which will be revealed next week (Eeek!) and one on Thursday, with my Bible study group. I think I’m making mini gingerbread houses …
For the last few months, I’ve seen chickpea cookie dough dip taking off on Pinterest. I take this as a good sign, as people are trying to incorporate healthier items into their diets. In my case, I didn’t want to make a dip because I didn’t have anything to dip into it! If you’ve been …
A few months ago, I would’ve said that it couldn’t be done (without the help of fancy machines and chemicals). But you can make meringues without eggs! When I was visiting my parents, I went to a small gluten-free market near their home. My mom pointed out this interesting product called “No Egg” by Orgran. …
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been working on some fun Valentine’s Day recipes for my readers. I’ve compiled them all here in one place! Just because recipes are vegan (and some gluten-free, for that matter) doesn’t mean that they can’t taste delicious or indulgent. Happy Valentine’s Day! Cheers, -Aileen
As you know from my Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream recipe, I need ice cream in my life, even in the winter. This Vegan Maple Pecan Ice Cream Recipe is creamy and delicious. When I was a kid, the only people (who I knew) who liked butter pecan ice cream were older, usually over the …
When I visit a new place, it sometimes takes me a while to decide if I like it or not. I know that seems weird, but it’s true. A few years ago, hubs and I went to New Orleans for a wedding. It took me a few days to evaluate the city because it was …
Sometimes pound cake just sounds good. Traditional pound cake gets its name from literally using pounds of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. That’s a lot of not-so-good ingredients. My goal with this recipe was to lighten up and healthify pound cake. And veganize it. This Lightened Up Amaretto Pound Cake Recipe is delicious and tastes …
