A Spicy Giveaway & Choco Banana-Oat Cookies!

Hello everyone,

I hope you’re all staying warm! In an effort to help bring the heat, I am happy to announce my first product give away – a Siracha 2 Go keychain. Oh yes, now you can ensure you never have to head out to a restaurant without the sweet spicy chili sauce everyone knows and loves. I’ll also throw in some ‘surprise’ products as well.

Recipe: Vegan Vanilla-Ginger Cupcakes

Hello friends,

I hope you had a good Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day or simply a good Saturday. Since my partner didn’t get home from sunny California until 2am on Friday night, I woke up quite a few hours before he did so I made cupcakes! After raiding my cabinets and realizing I had very few baking ingredients, I opted to create a new cupcake based on the golden vanilla cupcakes in Vegan Cupcakes Takeover the World (seriously buy this book – it’s a must have!).

Hello Friends,

Sorry for the lapse in new entries. I’m in always 70 and sunny San Diego for a long weekend! I thought I’d share a review of my favorite meal I’ve had since visiting.

Recipe: Vegan Vanilla-Lime Cupcakes

Hello friends!

Today I decided to make some vegan vanilla-lime cupcakes because…it’s Tuesday! Hey, what more do you need? Also, why is it that every January I decide I want to start watching what I eat and at the same time I want to bake more?! Everything is okay in moderation, right?

Simply Indulgent Red Rose Tea & Girl Scout Cookies

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone is keeping warm & cozy. Is it sad that I was excited when the low for the day was 0 degrees? Because you know that’s not a negative number!

Anyway, the cold got me in the mood for some hot tea, and I decided to break out my Red Rose Tea Simply Indulgent collection. My favorite flavor is “Lemon Chiffon.” For some reason it tastes strikingly similar to a Girl Scout cookie I used to enjoy in the ’90s – the “Lemon Pastry Cremes.” Seriously, try it for yourself!

By the way, have you heard the news? Both Girl Scouts bakeries are now making their Thin Mints vegan. No more searching for the right bakery or ordering cookies on ebay! Hooray for small, vegan dessert victories!

So how do you warm up on these cold winter nights? Let me know in the comments!
