There’s a few food blogs I check up on regularly for ideas. One of them is Kevin and Amanda and last month they posted this decadent recipe for Cookie Dough Billionaire Bars. I had never heard of billionaire bars before. It’s a bar with a shortbread base, topped with caramel, followed by a layer of…

I was looking for a simple vegan cake recipe and stumbled on this one. I found a separate (dairy-free) cream cheese icing recipe to go with the Tofutti container I had in my fridge. The portions make a single-layered cake in an 8″ cake pan. I doubled everything to make a two-layer cake. Almond Cake…

Same recipe, two different products depending on what pan you use! If you have a miniature muffin pan, you can make tiny strawberry shortcakes. If you have a doughnut pan, you can make brown butter cinnamon sugar doughnuts. Both options are vegan. Doughnut Muffins 6 Tbsp Vegan Butter (eg. Earth Balance) 6 Tbsp Sugar 1/4…

So today marks a month since I moved into my new place and the work in fixing it up is almost done. Last weekend’s project was to give all the windows and screens the wash it looks like they were never subject to since being installed. I’ve also been particularly social as of late, and that…

Disappointed with my previous experiment of the sweet potato rolls, I decided to take a different path. This time it would be rice paper (I wanted nori but couldn’t find any) filled with quinoa. There would be a cucumber slice for a base and it would be topped with toffuti [vegan] cream cheese, half a…

So I had this idea to make sweet potato spring rolls. I rolled up mashed sweet potatoes in rice paper. I then topped it off with a maple-soy sauce, and a bit of decoration. It was unspectacular taste wise. The sauce was good though, which I had stolen that one from a recipe in the…
