Salted caramel. Divine. Luxurious. Heavenly. The list goes on and on. I think I have to add "one of the best creations ever." To put something like sweet, creamy caramel and sea salt together. It's pure genius. Most people must agree because you see the combination in chocolate bars, ice cream, desserts, coffee drinks. The possibilities of incorporating this magic is endless! See that gooey salted caramel making it's way over the edge of that dairy free cheesecake? It's dairy free too. Yep. ... read more
gluten free vegan snickerdoodles
There are some recipes that I have tried over and over (and over) since going gluten free. Baked treats that were too important to not get just right. One of those recipes...snickerdoodles. I can't tell you how many batches I have made that just weren't what I was going for. Some were too much like a biscuit, others had way to much oil, and some were too cakey. Blah. Where oh where was my dream snickerdoodle? Hip-hip-hooray! I FINALLY have a gluten, egg, and dairy free snickerdoodle recipe that ... read more
guest post…gluten free vegan peanut butter pretzel chocolate chip cookies
Peanut Butter. Pretzels. Chocolate chips. Three things involved in these insane gluten free vegan cookies. A little salty and a little sweet. I may have gone a little crazy when I was making this recipe. I just couldn't help myself. I'm sharing the recipe for these to-die-for cookies over at Ask Anna today. Feel free to swap out the peanut butter for almond or sunflower seed butter. Either way, they're still going to knock your socks off. Go ahead, indulge yourself a little and make a ... read more
gluten free vegan strawberry shortcake
My most favorite summer dessert...strawberry shortcake. Hands down. No contest. I'm not sure what part I love the most. It may be the whipped cream, which is magically dairy free. I'm not a huge frosting person. I like to keep it a simple with a vanilla cake, topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit. There's just nothing better. So when I think of the most glorious strawberry shortcake, I think of pure perfection on a cake stand. So Delicious has a super fun campaign going on right now, just ... read more
gluten free vegan frosted chocolate cookie bars
Is it a brownie? Is it a cookie? Well, it's a little bit of both. Soft, gooey chocolate cookies, baked in the form of bars. Oh, and don't forget that dairy free chocolate frosting. That frosting that I couldn't stop "taste-testing." I've never made frosting with coconut oil before and I'm so glad I tried it. Creamy. Decadent. With summer coming, I'm sure there are lots of barbecues, picnics and parties coming your way. Bar cookies are a great dessert to bring. Mix, bake, frost, slice. ... read more
gluten free vegan banana peach muffins
Summertime brings the best fruits around! Watermelon, nectarines, strawberries, cherries and peaches. During these hot months, my fridge is always stocked with plenty of fresh fruit. Cold fruit. The most satisfying and refreshing snack. Ripe peaches are like candy. They are so, so sweet. I like to let them sit on the counter until they reach their peak ripeness before I use them in my gluten free baking. I had a few ripe peaches after making a peach crisp and wanted to use them for a morning ... read more

I've gone from 2,000 likes ... read more
gluten free vegan mini chocolate chip cookies
Mini chocolate chip cookies! Just about the cutest thing I ever did see. Makes me feel like a kid again. Bite-size treats are my kind of treats. I like them, well, because they're cute. Of course. But I prefer them most of all because I don't feel too bad when I eat more than one (which is always). If you offered a child one regular size cookie or two mini cookies. Of course they would go for two mini's! One for each hand. Everybody knows two cookies is better than one. I can't stop making ... read more
gluten free strawberry rice crispy treats
Happy Memorial Day! I'm sharing a quick, easy treat with you, perfect for this holiday weekend. As much as I love the classic rice crispy treats, I like the idea of changing the flavor to something fun and fruity. I had a bag of freeze-dried strawberries from Trader Joe's in the panty. Mixed them in and couldn't stop licking the bowl. So yummy! Rice crispy treats are a favorite in our house. When this mom doesn't feel like turning on the oven (especially in the hot summer months) this is our ... read more
gluten free vegan fruity oatmeal cookies
Oatmeal cookies. Probably my favorite. My husband, not so much. He is MY favorite, but oatmeal cookies are not his cookie of choice. I think it's a texture thing. I don't get it. That's what I love about them. However, when he ate one of these cookies off the cooling rack, he surprised me and said, "hey, these are really good!" These mind-changing fruity oatmeal cookies are gluten, egg, dairy and refined sugar free. Yep. Sweetened with coconut sugar and pure maple syrup. If you haven't baked ... read more
