Carrot cake is one of the most underrated desserts of all time. The fact that it’s made with a vegetable turns a lot of people off, but you’d have to be crazy not to love the taste. Honestly, it’s pretty much exactly the same as spice cake, just with some carrots folded in. I’ve also…

Coconut Berry Acai Bowls
In an ideal world, I would wake up every morning, go to the gym, do my hair and makeup, pick out a cute outfit, and stop at a healthy café for breakfast, all before starting my day. That would be great, wouldn’t it? Unfortunately, real life doesn’t usually allow for this kind of a morning…
Pecan Crescent Cookies (Gluten-Free/Vegan)
Growing up, shortbread cookies always had a special place in my heart. Every time we would fly to Japan, my mom would allow me to buy some Walker’s shortbread at the airport, so I could eat it as a snack on the airplane. I don’t know if you’ve ever had Walker’s shortbread, but it’s not…
Vegan Maple Pecan Cinnamon Rolls (With Maple Cream Cheese Glaze)
Lately, I have been watching a lot of TV, mostly the show Shark Tank. Although I’ve seen nearly every episode already, I’ve been continuously rewatching episodes over and over again.

Chocolate Cupcakes With Mint Chocolate Chip Buttercream (Vegan/Gluten-Free)
What’s your favorite flavor of ice cream? Is it vanilla? Or chocolate? Or strawberry? Personally, I’ve always been a mint chocolate chip type of gal. Sure, the classics are great, but nothing will ever beat the cool, refreshing taste of peppermint in my mind. Shamrock shakes, candy canes, peppermint patties… I love it all! In…
Chewy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you were to ask 20 Americans what their favorite type of cookie is, I’ll bet that at least 15 of those people would choose chocolate chip. For some reason, chocolate chip cookies are extremely popular in America. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever been to a party or event serving desserts where there…
Vegan Red Velvet Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting
There’s something magical about red velvet cake. The flavor, the color, the texture… it all just screams pure decadence. Even the name red velvet is delightful! It sounds rich and luxurious, like something you’d find in a celebrity’s home. Not to mention, red velvet is the perfect cake flavor for so many holidays. The color makes…
Vegan Oreo Brownies
What’s your favorite classic dessert? Brownies are definitely mine! Sure, cookies and cupcakes are tasty, but nothing beats the rich chocolate flavor of a freshly-baked, fudgy brownie. If I see a table full of desserts at a party, you can bet that I’ll be reaching for the brownies first. You really cannot go wrong with…
Dairy Free Pumpkin Spice Hot Cocoa
I know some people are against adding pumpkin spice to everything in the fall, but I am definitely not one of those people. Each year when October rolls around, I go completely nuts with the pumpkin goodies! Pumpkin candles and pumpkin spice Oreos–which are totally vegan by the way–are right up my alley. Call me…
Iced Chocolate Zucchini Brownies
As of the day I’m writing this, tomorrow is Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day weekend is a time to appreciate all the moms out there who work tirelessly to keep our lives running smoothly. We may resent their commands to make our beds or to eat our greens when we’re young, but underneath their sometimes stern…
