Gluten-Free mini Valentine’s Donuts
This Valentine’s Day has found me completely struck with love. First and foremost, the love I feel from you, my dear friends is palpable. I must give the biggest THANK YOU to you for being by my side during one of the darkest times of my life. The encouragement, love and support is so deeply...
Cara’s Gluten-Free Flour Blend
Creating your very own all-purpose flour blend makes baking an easier and less expensive task in your gluten-free kitchen. I started creating my own blend almost a year ago and have been more pleased with my baking outcomes than a pre-bought blend. It took some time for me to realize which flours I enjoyed the taste of more than others (I...
Chinese Tempeh Salad
“Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition if we could only realize it. Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we would like to dream about. The off-center, in between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don’t get caught, and in which...
Spicy Chipotle Blackened Tempeh Wraps
The strike continues. I am in a no-bake zone currently. I refuse to create another cupcake batter after 5 recent failed attempts so my Valentine will be getting this Chipotle Tempeh Wrap instead. We both have been looking for ways to eat more vegetarian meals anyway and despite the fact that I have strayed from my...
Vegan Dark Chocolate Strawberry Cream Truffles
I’m on strike! I have the touch of death in the kitchen when it comes to baking as of late. I’m failing royally at everything I have a go at. It’s the endless cycle of baking gluten, egg, and dairy-free. You can never think you have arrived because there is always something new to learn,...
Non-Dairy Ranch Dressing
So a funny thing happened to me at work yesterday: Jillian Michaels came in. With the location of my job, celebrity spotting tends to be a daily happening, which is kind of a fun perk about what I do. I try not to ogle at them (well, there was one time when Bob Balaban from “Waiting for Guffman” and...
Raw Garden Herb Spreadable “Cheese”
Cashews are a lot like life. You have 2 choices with this nut: you see it for exactly what it is: just a nut; or you look beyond it and think of all the possibilities that you have the power to create from it. As life continues to settle for me with a new job,...
Raw Vegan “Goat” Cheese Dip
I was inspired by the idea of this recipe on Pinterest (now, for the life of me, I cannot find it!) a while back and have been brewing on an idea of how to translate it into a non-dairy version without the soy. This is the beauty of raw foods–anything can happen with a scoop...
Raw Chocolate Mousse Cake

Raw Chocolate Mousse Cake Recipe Raw vegan, gluten, egg, soy, and dairy-free Ingredients 1 1/2 c soaked cashews, drained 1/3 c raw cacao powder (or regular cocoa powder)...
Gluten-free & Vegan Cheezy Jalapeno Soft Pretzels
“Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition if we could only realize it. Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we would like to dream about. The off-center, in between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don’t get caught, and in which...
Gluten-Free and Vegan Candy Cane “Oreos”
Candy Cane Oreos. That’s right, you are not seeing incorrectly. Gluten-free. Vegan. You can find my recipe here over at Keepin’ It Kind and you can also view these bad boys as Honorable Mention for VegNews’ Holiday Cookie Contest. The end.
Raw Vegan Eggnog
There are some traditions that should never be let go of just because you cannot consume a certain type of food. For me, that’s eggnog, hands down–probably my most favorite part of this season. I used to never say no to eggnog… Imagine my delight when non-dairy milk brands were coming out with their own...
