Gluten-free Vegan Samoa Cupcakes

March 8, 2012 by Cara

Do you remember when I posted this picture up on Facebook of these deliciously looking Gluten-free Vegan Samoa Cupcakes? Some of you accused me of teasing and taunting {which to a certain degree I won’t argue with you}. Okay, okay I totally admit to being a cupcake bully. Remember when I said that the recipe…

Vegan Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

March 7, 2012 by Cara

Something I continue to learn about life is that the more you are open to change, the happier you will be. I tend to be someone who has expectations of a daily routine and if something comes off kilter, it can throw me off. People tell me that when you have kids, these “expectations” tend…

Gluten-free Vegan Trefoil Cookies

February 29, 2012 by Cara

Today is monumental. It is one of those lessons of tenancity and perseverance. It is a life moment of realizing that I am a slave to the kitchen. No wait, that isn’t right. It is a life moment of realizing that you can do anything that you put your mind to. What taught me this? The Trefoil Girl…

Gluten-free Vegan Sugar-Coated Donuts

January 9, 2012 by Cara

Gluten-Free Vegan Sugar-Coated Donuts Last night, I was caught watching the OWN station on television. I don’t usually make a habit of it typically but there was something about the Jane Fonda interview that rapidly caught my attention. It touched my heart deeply, partly because I empathized a lot of what she was saying. But the thing that she said that…

Homemade Fortune Cookies

December 31, 2011 by Cara

If you were to open my wallet, you would find a dozen fortune cookie messages tucked inside the side panel. I have grown fond of saving all of the fortunes from the cookies I have opened  in the past few years. Consider them like collector’s coins. Except they are paper. Inside a cookie. Some range from…

Grandma is sitting this one out on New Year’s…

December 28, 2011 by Cara

This is the funny thing about holidays that require me to stay up into the wee hours of the night: I usually don’t celebrate them. (thankfully that only makes 1 holiday missed for the year) You see friends, I am what you call a “grandma”– no offense to the real grandmas out there. It’s just that I am…
