With Thanksgiving and the holiday season quickly approaching, it’s high time for a quick and easy vegan dessert recipe. They’re hard to come by, ya know? I recently started a new job. Before having kids, I was one of those coworkers that loved to bring home-baked goodies in for everyone to eat on the job. Unfortunately (or…
Carob Peanut Butter Energy Bites
It’s springtime, you guys!! Well, sorta, anyway. Way up north, we still have plenty of snow–more than enough to try out our new cross country skis. We caught a fabulous end-of-season sale at a local ski shop and got a steal of a deal on new boots, skis, and poles for both of us. The…
Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies
It’s September 16th, and we’re long overdue for some vegan sweetness. In a last ditch effort to lose these last several stubborn pounds of baby weight, I’ve been trying to avoid sweets (sorta). And then there are cookies–peanut butter cookies, at that. I love peanut butter, and when the natural stuff was only 99 cents a…
Vegan Fluffy Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes
Sometimes breakfast for supper is just so so so so satisfying. Tonight was one of those nights. When I was a teenager attending a small Christian boarding academy in rural Arkansas, one of my favorite cafeteria suppers (yes, I actually liked some of the cafeteria food) was banana fritters, served up with hot creamy pineapple…
Vegan Maple Pecan Sticky Buns
It’s time for something not-so-healthy, but vegan, of course. Woops. I’m sorry. Just showing you that picture probably just ruined your diet plans for the week–at least it did for me. Only I’m not on a diet–yet–because I’m pregnant. :) I just found out today that at almost 28 weeks, I’ve already gained all the…
Vegan Carob Chip Cookies
Guess what?!?! Yesterday was the first day of spring!! You have no idea how much joy I have in announcing that. This winter has been long. Too long. There’s so much about spring that I love: gardens, short sleeves, flip flops, green grass, flowers, and fresh produce. One thing I’m especially looking forward to (and…
Apple Spice Muffins with Maple Glaze
It’s been a long time, ya’all. Too long. How’ve you been?? I feel like this conversation should be taking place over O.J. and a vegan pastry–or, in the produce aisle of the grocery store (where people I haven’t seen in awhile always tend to find me on my I-don’t-feel-like-doing-my-hair and I-hope-I don’t-see-anyone-I-know days). Really though,…
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Scones
One year ago, I was twiddling away on my computer while nursing my baby girl. She was so tiny then–only a few months old. I had an epiphany. I needed to do something–from home–to keep me busy, to give me purpose, and to motivate me. Vegan Yumminess was born that very night. It’s been an…
