Granola Crusted Cashew Cream Tart (Vegan+GF)
It’s been a little while since I’ve shared a tart like this. I was going for a cheesecake type of thing and, while this doesn’t taste exactly like cheesecake I think it’s definitely delicious! I wanted to keep it simple and not bother turning on the oven since it’s been pretty warm. Anyway, I recently made this huge batch of chocolate granola. Of course, true to my habit I made it without any sort of recipe. I also made way more than I had planned. It does save well, but it was more than I would be able eat any time soon. That’s why I thought it would be…

Raspberry Cheesecake Swirled Pancakes
Can I ask you a very important question???? Are you a pancake or a waffle? What I mean is, which are you a bigger fan of? Pretty much everyone in my house will eat either one but there is definitely a split in opinions over which is better. Ironically, it’s mostly the boys that prefer waffles and the girls that go for the pancakes. If it was a question of devotion though, the girls would absolutely win the prize. Seriously, a few of my sisters could probably live on pancakes with how much they adore them. Personally, I ride the fence on this one. There is just no way I…

“Nutella” Cheesecake Dark Chocolate Overload Cake (Vegan)
There is an outrageous amount of chocolate going on today! How do you feel about that? (Feel free to insert your positive exclamations here ->_____! i.e. Heck YES!) Said chocolate also comes with an outrageous amount of pictures. I promised myself I was going to get better about that but I think I may actually be getting worse. It’s just so hard to stop snapping pictures when there is this much chocolate beauty to be captured, you know? So I made this for Jenya’s 19th birthday and, I could be wrong, but I think it says a lot about how much I love her. I’ve actually been waiting all week to…

Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Brownie Bars (Vegan)
Yup, that’s right. I went there! How goes your life? Good? Not so good? Well, I hope it’s the former but I’m pretty confidant that either way it’s about to get better. I know, in the past I’ve knocked the so-called “America’s favorite cookie” and I still haven’t changed my mind about not liking them. I just can’t get over the memory of feeling like I was eating burnt cardboard with frosting in the center. Also, they aren’t exactly health food so I figure if it’s not something I’d enjoy eating, what’s the point? Oreos, jojos, whatever they’re called, I’m personally just not a huge fan. Now, when you use…

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars (Vegan)
I’ve never had much claim to the label “normal American” as my family has never been very normal, and these days I’m feeling especially strange. Apparently moving to a foreign country, not speaking the language, and not getting out much will do that to you. Trust me, feeling like an alien is only fun some of the time. Although I don’t feel it daily, I think I’ve really changed over the last few years. Okay, but even if I’m not normal, I think I have a pretty good idea what stereo-typical American family would look like and the picture in my mind always includes a tray of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. …
