I am not a raisin fan. Golden raisins are alright, but regular raisins are just not my thing. Despite this, I made these Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, and they are quite tasty. I think they’d be even better without the raisins, but an Oatmeal-Raisin lover I know said these are delicious. If you have a splitRead more
I’ve always been a fan of rugelach, they’re like delicious pastry cookies. When I was younger I’d always go for the chocolate ones, but my mom liked the raspberry ones. So imagine my delight when my new Smitten Kitchen Cookbook had a recipe perfect for the both of us. These rugelach are the perfect balanceRead more
I don’t know about you, but I love pumpkin flavored things all year. It’s a shame that pumpkin gets a brief over-the-top highlight for two months in the fall and then basically disappears. So I bring you this recipe in protest of keeping pumpkin locked away until October. And since it has all the deliciousnessRead more
This year at my church we had a live Christmas pageant for the first time in at least 20 years. My mom is always in charge of the Christmas program and so she’s usually kept it to other things like art crafts or pictures of the nativity story, but this year she decided it wasRead more
I hope you all have a wonderful and magical Christmas, if you celebrate, or a wonderful and magical Tuesday if you don’t. This holiday season I made some cookies to give as gifts. I quadrupled the recipe below so that I’d have a lot of dough and what I didn’t end up baking off I’veRead more
Do vegan baked goods kind of make you cringe? I’m always hesitant to label things vegan because I think mainstream society thinks of vegan food as extreme and unappealing, but I promise, this vegan Pumpkin Walnut Bread is yummy! I got the recipe from Joy the Baker, who I definitely trust to make a deliciousRead more
In my dad’s opinion, there is nothing better than a chocolate chip cookie. Unfortunately for him, I’ve been making a different Christmas cookie each week this month and plain chocolate chip cookies haven’t made the cut. On the upside, apparently my dad’s qualifications for a chocolate chip cookie is just a cookie that contains chocolateRead more
This snacking cake is delicious. It’s easy, and casual enough to be served for an afternoon snack. It’s not too sweet, so it’s perfect for tea time (because obviously you take a break for tea time, right?). But it’s also great to add a little contrast to all the sweet cookies and treats that areRead more
These cookies are scrumptious. They’re kind of like coconut macaroons, with a chewy, crunchy, sweet nutty flavor. They definitely don’t taste vegan, and while they’re a little crumbly, they definitely hold their shape long enough to get in your mouth, what more could you need? I’m still figuring coconut oil out, but I imagine thatRead more
Coming up with vegan desserts is a bit challenging. I really want to stick with ingredients that people might have on hand, so the idea of doing some fruit cobblers/crumbles seemed like a good place to start. When I saw this combination of pears and cranberries I was definitely intrigued. I could totally see howRead more
