Vegan Cranberry Cheese Crumble

December 11, 2012 by Cara

Julia Child said to never apologize for what you put on the table for your guests. Always smile and never give away that you made a mistake. Chances are, they will never know anyway… I’m breaking her rule right now by admitting that as I attempted to duplicate Brooke’s Cranberry Bars, I wanted to make them fancy…

Easy Vegan Fudge

December 8, 2012 by Cara

EASY vegan fudge…. This fudge is decadent. It’s rich. It melts in your mouth. Need I say more? And it’s only 5 ingredients (not counting the nuts because I know some peope don’t like them…shame!) Now, don’t get held up over the fact that coconut cream is used in this recipe. I know it only makes…

Vegan Cream Cheese & Date Roll Ups

December 6, 2012 by Cara

When Brooke sent me this recipe to convert into a gluten, egg, and dairy-free treat, I had never heard of such a thing. A concept completely new to me: a date stuffed with pecans, rolled into a cream cheese dough, baked and then dusted with powdered sugar. I had absolutely no idea of what to…

All I want for Christmas is new self-esteem (and french toast).

December 21, 2011 by Cara

Virtual Advent Calendar: Being creative doesn’t mean that you need to go to extremes to impress people. Sometimes all it takes is to see things from a different perspective and to present it to someone from a new angle. That is the secret to creativity. Nothing fancy or far off concepts to understand. It has taken…
