Macadamia Macaroons

Macadamia Macaroons

I really love the healthy truffles that I discovered a couple weeks ago but when I went to make them yesterday, I realized that I didn’t have enough walnuts, pecans, or almonds to make them.

Drunk Pineapple Coconut Tapioca Pudding - Vegan & Gluten-Free

Continuing with my tropical theme this week, here’s a yummy tropical tapioca pudding recipe. I’ve named it “Drunk Pineapple Coconut Tapioca Pudding” because the pineapple is sautéed in dark rum.

Vegan Chocolate Truffle Torte

This vegan chocolate truffle torte is the most luxurious dessert that I make. It’s definitely not an everyday dessert, but something that I reserve for special occasions a few times a year. It easily holds-up to any non-vegan dessert served at fancy restaurants. It’s extremely rich, so you only need to serve a small piece, and … Read more

These caramel apple muffins are one of my favorite vegan muffin recipes. The crumbly, sugary topping makes them taste like gooey caramel apples — minus the sticky fingers and face! You could leave out the topping to make these a bit healthier, but it really adds a great taste and texture to these muffins. Go … Read more
