We all know that this season—the transition of one calendar year to another—can be loaded with messages about food and diet that are anything but wholesome. I don’t like to enter into a new year with any intentions of restriction, elimination, or deprivation. But I do greet January as a time to consider how my…

I’ve been enjoying my holiday baking this year, but it’s nice to whip up a sweet treat that not only doesn’t involve baking, but also doesn’t involve cleaning my food processor or blender. This recipe for vegan dark chocolate granola bark is so easy, not to mention festive, fun, and adaptable. The star of the…

As mentioned in a few posts already this fall, I’ve officially given into pumpkin season. These wholesome vegan pumpkin oat scones are a perfect way to celebrate fall baking while also indulging the desire for treats that are a little less sweet, and a little more nutritious, than others. I’ve found that there tend to…

Just a little pre-weekend check-in with a sweet breakfast treat: vegan pumpkin chocolate chip baked oatmeal. Baked oatmeal has long been a go-to for me because of it’s versatility: it can be enjoyed at home or on the go, freezes well, is easy to portion out for the week’s breakfasts, and it’s a version of…

As I was sitting down to write this post I thought I’d make a joke about how it was the first dessert I’d posted in ages that isn’t cake. But then I realized that of course whoopie pies are cake. Just small cakes, shaped into a sandwich with their icing. So the cake parade continues…

Remember how, a couple weekends ago, I mentioned a recent battle with vegan cupcake recipe testing? These are the cupcakes I was fighting for. They were, and are, so worth the effort and refining it took to get them just right. It wasn’t so much the cupcake batter that gave me a hard time.I used…

It is still very much winter here in New York, which means that warm and cozy breakfasts are the name of the game. At the moment, cooked fruit is very appealing to me (baked bananas, warm blueberry sauce…you get the idea). These simple, baked gingery apples are my new favorite topping for oatmeal and toast,…

Whether you are a grinch or a Christmas die hard, its hard to argue against some good Christmas recipes. Because ’tis the season for food. Whilst I am all for indulging in your not-so healthy Christmas faves (because Christmas only comes around once a year), the post too much turkey and Christmas cake bloat isn’t…
Tis the season for all things sweet. Last year at this time, I was savoring dark chocolate pear cake and whipping up loaf after loaf of braided challah. That’s what I’d like to be doing right now, too, but I’ve found that baking isn’t a treat when it’s squeezed into my busy weekends these days….

Last summer New York was every bit as hot and humid as it is now, but for some reason, I was busy baking up a storm. Galettes, buckles, lemon cake, you name it—I had my oven mitts ready for it. I happen to have made cobbler a few weeks ago, when it was still unseasonably…

A few weeks ago, I declared my excitement for crisp/crumble/slump/cobbler season, but thanks to an early summer virus that declaration wasn’t followed by any immediate forays into fruity dessert territory. Finally, I went there, and this vegan peach & cherry cornmeal cobbler is the happy result. Last summer’s go-to dessert was either this blueberry buckle or…
