IMG_3520

Hello friends,

Vegan Choco Ginger Macadamia Nut Cookies

Hello friends!

One of my all-time favorite cookies is the traditional white chocolate macadamia cookie. Unfortunately, this is a very rare cookie to find made vegan. This is probably because vegan white chocolate chips are about as hard to find as unicorns.

The end result is a gooey, moist chocolate chip ginger macadamia nut cookie.

Review: Just Cookies

Hello friends,

I hope you’ve heard about Hampton Creek Foods, and I really hope you’ve already switched to using Just Mayo. It is hands down the best vegan “mayo” in the market. But that’s not what I want to talk about it. I want to review the company’s newest product – just Cookie Dough. I know this product began hitting shelves towards the end of 2014, but it just showed up at my local Whole Foods, and I couldn’t be more excited!
