The most amazing plums are in season right now at our farmers market. They look like miniature plums because they are even smaller than the already small plum. If they didn’t have pits in them you could easily pop three in your mouth at a time. I have not verified this. They are insanely sweet […]

Tuesday was Chloe’s 2nd birthday so we had a little soiree. I ordered doggie pupcakes for Chloe and her friends and baked dark chocolate, peanut butter cupcakes for our 2 legged friends. The doggie pupcakes surpassed mine in beauty, but my first vegan cupcake adventure was a rousing success. I used the tried and true […]

I found a cookie mix at the grocery store that absolutely blew me away. It is called: Cherrybrook Kitchen Arthur Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix. Yes, I am referring to Arthur, the beloved PBS animated mouse-like character. The mix is dairy free, wheat free and nut free (Which I won’t stand for). All you are obligated […]

I whipped up another popsicle creation. This green-tastic one is Pistachio. They are creamy and refreshing. The roasted nuts add a nice crunch and a slightly salty taste. It has been so perfectly warm and muggy over the past few days. I absolutely love it like this. It is the ideal popsicle weather. Ingredients: 1 Box […]

Watermelon is one of my favorite foods. In the winter I miss it like I miss the sunshine and eighty degree days. It is juicy, brilliantly colored and as naturally sweet as anything I have ever experienced. I love it so much that in our house it is known as Watermagic. To honor this great […]

Ice cream is my Achilles heel. I love it when I am happy. I love it when I am sad. I love it when it is hot outside and when its cold outside. In a bowl, in a cone, in an edible waffle bowl…seriously!! Over the weekend I tried some vegan ice cream and made […]

Sandy and I had the mystifying, dizzying pleasure of taste-testing vegan cupcakes from The Cupcake Station. I call it taste testing to relieve myself of the inevitable guilt associated with consuming that many cupcakes on a random weekday. We had chocolate with a buttercream frosting and banana with a cream-cheesey buttercream frosting. The banana cupcake […]

Happy May! We brought the Vegan Lemon Poppy-seed cookies to the dinner party. I was both proud and slightly nervous. What if they shun them and throw us out? What if they were hoping for something more sinful and decadent than my vegan surprise? The funny thing is that after cocktail hour and a huge […]
