Gluten free Vegan Nutter Butter Bites

March 2, 2014 by Cara

Oatmeal Cream Pies, Animal Crackers….and now gluten free vegan Nutter Butter Bites?! I’ve gone mad, I tell you, MAD. I’m a woman obsessed with all-things childhood favorite treats. Even Matt took a bite out of one of these and with eyes wide open he said, “Dude, those taste like the real deal.”  No, actually he said…

Homemade Animal Crackers

February 28, 2014 by Cara

Homemade Animal Crackers (gluten, egg, and dairy-free) - Fork & Beans

So I have been reminiscing through some old recipes and became all nostalgic when I came across my Copycat Treats recipe section which inevitably began the thought process of all the recipes that I still had on my list of things to recreate and just never got around to it. Until today, that is. Homemade Animal Crackers,…

Gluten-free Vegan Oatmeal Cream Pies - Fork & Beans

Today I’m visiting an incredible blogger friend Sarah of Sarah Bakes Gluten-Free and I really wanted to make her an ultra-special treat. What better way to spread baking cheer than with homemade gluten free vegan Oatmeal Cream Pies? I knew that you would agree. RELATED: GF/Vegan Moon Pies I’m surprised it has taken me this long to…

Vegan Chocolate-Covered Cherries

Vegan Chocolate-Covered Cherries - Fork & Beans

Another reader request, this time Kelli asked me to create vegan chocolate-covered cherries–you know the kind with the gooey white filling? I took her idea and put a twist on it and methinks these are even better than just your typical chocolate-covered cherry! What’s so different about these, you ask? Oh, great question–thank you for asking…

Valentine’s Day Donuts

February 5, 2014 by Cara

Valentine's Day Donuts - Fork & Beans

I’m a bit uncertain when it began but I have this new association of donuts when I think about Valentine’s Day. Not like I am thinking a lot about Lover’s Day but usually the two weeks prior to when I am trying to figure out what desserts I want to make, my inner voice is…

Homemade Chocolate Teddy Grahams

Healthy Chocolate Teddy Grahams - Fork & Beans

  I’m always an advocate for balance. I have been through the wringer with a variety of diets (you can read about my weight loss story here) but the only thing that has actually kept my mind in a good place with food but has kept the weight off was removing this pendulum shift of going to extremes in…

Healthy Ice Cream Sandwiches

January 16, 2014 by Cara

White bean cookies and banana ice cream create these ultra tasty and easy-to-assemble Healthy Ice Cream Sandwiches.

It’s beginning to look a lot like SUMMER, despite it being only January (that is what you get when you live in Southern California). So to celebrate, I’m making everyone these gluten, egg, dairy, flour, and refined sugar-free (and everything else!) frozen treats. I shall call them Healthy Ice Cream Sandwiches! Can you believe that…
