Sea Salt & Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan)
If I ever run out of new ways to reinvent the chocolate chip cookie I’ll probably have to stop blogging all together. Like “Let’s pack it up guys my work’s done here.” But seriously, these are gonna be a popular addition to my chocolate chip cookie recipe collection. If you haven’t noticed I’ve created a few. Lol.🍪🍪🍪🍪 This is one if f those times where I had a random idea that I just needed to make as soon as possible. You know, like those great ideas you get in the middle of the night or in the shower. Well, this was one of those. Besides, sea salt and tahini just sound so good…

Healthy Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (Vegan+GF)
You guys, you guys, Spring is finally here!!!!! Yesterday was a bit surreal because over the Winter we’ve accumulated about 3 feet of snow and yesterday it was as if a switch got flipped and Spring arrived. It’s all nearly gone now and what left is melting at an astonishing rate. It’s enough that my sister and I were able to bike and hike yesterday and the weather was like literal perfection! I don’t know about you but there are very few treats I crave more than cookie dough. I mean, if you’ve been following this blog for any amount of time you already know I’m obsessed. I think it has something to…

Chocolate Chip French Toast Muffins (Vegan+GF)
Am I the only one who hates seeing the perfectly good bread heels go in the trash? Well, if you’re with me on this then you’ll be extra excited about this recipe because it’s a perfect way to use them and any stale bread for that matter. Don’t worry though, if bread waste isn’t a problem for you this recipe can be made with fresh bread also. As for the chocolate chips, they can be replaced with a bunch of different things. Whether you just don’t like chocolate with cinnamon, have an allergy, or are following a low fat diet there are plenty of other options. I personally love the chocolate but if…

Healthier Oatmeal Cream Pies (Vegan+GF)
So were you a fan of Little Debbie’s famous cream pies as a kid? I liked them but I could never figure out how I really felt about them because they were obviously not healthy at all. On the other hand though, you sort of felt like they should be because they were oatmeal, you know? That’s pretty much what this recipe is doing. I mean, they could be a lot worse but I’ll be honest and admit they’re not exactly the “healthiest” choice. They’re just a healthier alternative. I just figured that if I was going to share a fresh treat this January it should at least pretend to be healthy, right?…

Copycat “Reese’s” Peanut Butter Cups (Vegan + GF)
If I had to make a top 5 chocolate candy list, I think peanut butter cups would be near the top. There’s just something so timeless about peanut butter and chocolate. Personally I’m a fan of dark chocolate, but I know there are many who would disagree with me, namely my own family. Hey, we can all just agree to disagree, right? I mean, there really is no wrong way to combine peanut butter and chocolate. Of course, I think it’s pretty needless to say that there are some less than healthy ingredients in the name brand Reese’s so that’s why I really like making them at home. There honestly one of the…

Maple Leaf Cream Filled Sandwich Cookies (Vegan)
The leaves have gone from just barely hinting at color to covering the ground in nature’s confetti. Of course, Fall wouldn’t be complete without baking some treats and cookies are always a crowd favorite. So who else loves those Maple leaf cookies from Trader Joe’s? If you’ve never been to TJ’s then you may not know what I’m talking about. These cookies are a classic and have always been a favorite of my mom’s. Now, they’re not exactly health food, obviously, but balance is a good practice and this time of year just needs occasional treats. Besides, a sweet cookie to go with a warm mug of afternoon tea or coffee is just…

The Easiest Creme Brulee Ever (Vegan+GF)
Remember when I told you about those cute little creme brulee dishes I got? Well……… I finally managed to create a recipe to use them for and I’m pretty excited to share it because it’s so simple. Slight confession here, this is yet another first for me. I’ve always been a little intimidated to try it at home because it seemed too fancy and complicated for any of the humble little kitchens I’ve cooked in over the past few years. Sure, the traditional method of stirring the custard slowly over the stove can be only too easy to mess up, but not with this recipe. I’m pretty sure I’ve broken some culinary laws…
