It's time for those spooky treats to come out from hiding! Halloween is less than a month away and I've got lots of fun goodies in store for you in the next couple of weeks. I'm kicking off this "spooktacular" season with these adorable mummy cookies. Yes, mummies can be cute. Just look at those eyes. I'm a firm believer that my gluten free vegan sugar cookies are pretty fantastic. Is it ok to say that? I've made them now about 1,000 times. Soft, rollable, sliceable and the perfect canvas for ... read more
gluten free vegan caramel apple cupcakes
Fall flavors are all the rage these days. Pumpkin may be number one, but I can be found rooting for the underdog...the apple. The crispy, juicy apple with cinnamon as it's tasty companion. Apple crisp, apple bundt cake, apple muffins, apple pie. Fresh apples, a little spice. It's always something nice! I've done it again. Created a cupcake recipe that I know you won't be able to resist. Who doesn't love a caramel apple? I've taken the flavors of the caramel apple and wrapped them up ... read more
gluten free vegan pumpkin spice sandwich cookies
Girl, you know it's true, pumpkin desserts are in full force around here! I wonder how many new pumpkin recipes I'll be sharing with you guys over the season. I'm just warning you now...it's hard for me to stop. The other day I wanted to make some yummy cookies to send to a dear friend, who is also gluten and dairy free. She was actually the first person that was really there to support me in my transition because she had already been doing it for quite some time. What a change it was, cutting ... read more
dairy free iced coffee
I'm an iced coffee girl through and through. Even in the fall, I prefer my coffee over ice. Don't get me wrong, it makes me happy to have a warm cup of coffee on a cold, winter day. My husband always makes fun of me though when I do have a cup of hot coffee because I never drink it in time. It always gets cold before I finish it. I start doing stuff around the house and forget about it. By the time I do, it's cold. The solution...stick with iced coffee. This summer I started feeding into my ... read more
gluten free vegan pumpkin spice latte donuts
Kickin' off pumpkin season in the best way possible...with donuts! I don't have to tell any of you how much this girl LOVES all things pumpkin. It's no secret. I actually bake with pumpkin all year long (shhhhh). I keep cans of pumpkin puree stocked in my pantry so whenever I get that pumpkin craving, I'm prepared. It's always "pumpkin season" in my house! My all time favorite coffee drink is a pumpkin spice latte. I would get so excited when Starbucks brought out the drink in ... read more
gluten free vegan banana pudding
All of us have those recipes that take us back to our childhood. The ones our grandma would make during the holidays or the ones our mom would only make for special occasions. I have so many special memories from the things my grandma and mom would bake for us. It was their love language and we always felt very loved. Banana pudding is one of those desserts that makes me feel like a kid again. The recipe from the back of the box of Nilla Wafers, which are (were) my husband's favorite cookie ... read more
chocolate “soufflés” individual cakes from decadent gluten-free vegan baking
I have a friend and her name is Cara. She's one of those bloggers that when you're scrolling through her blog you're thinking, "man, I wish I was as cool as her!" Cara is the hilarious blogger over at Fork and Beans (go there now, just make sure you come back). Everything she makes is amazing! Super talented at making gluten free vegan recipes look and sound completely irresistible. I first came across her blog last year when I was looking up gluten free, dairy free candy recipes. I couldn't ... read more
gluten free vegan funfetti cupcakes
Funfetti cupcakes! My all-time favorite as a kid. Every birthday, every year. There was just something about those cupcakes that screamed "celebrate!" I remember making them many times with my best friend Jenni in my kitchen. We always had a good excuse to make funfetti cupcakes. Sprinkles and cupcakes just made us both so happy! I've made this recipe for my gluten free vegan funfetti cupcakes many times, but for some reason haven't shared it on the blog. I know, how rude of me! It's pretty ... read more
gluten free vegan apple hand pies
Fall will be here soon enough and you know what that means...apple season! Well, and pumpkin season too (of course). But we're talking apples here. Juicy, crisp apples. One of the most versatile fruits. You can go sweet or savory. If you know me, you'll know I like to stick with the sweet. One Good Thing By Jillee recently shared a super helpful post on allergy-free baking and included my recipe for gluten free vegan raspberry hand pies. Thanks, Jillee! Seeing those little ... read more
gluten free vegan peanut butter chocolate ice cream sandwiches
My family will always choose ice cream as their dessert of choice, no matter what time of year. Summer. Winter. It's always a good time for ice cream. How do you like your ice cream? Plain and simple by the scoop. A chocolate covered ice cream sundae with whipped cream and a cherry on top. Sandwiched between two soft cookies. Or by the pint with a spoon. That's how I roll. Have you checked out the So Delicious "Save Summer" campaign on instagram? It's a super cool photo contest that they ... read more
