Let’s talk minimal recipes!       I don’t know about you, but I love something that can be thrown together in minutes! Complex recipes are also my go to, but you have memorable simple recipes, and this is one of them! Years ago I realized that out of hundreds of recipes on LABELESS, I didn’t have a staple vegan peanut butter cookie recipe. The great thing about a...

It’s so good you’ll see it on tv left and right and everyone raves about this shop. So how did their...

                       Hello & Happy Saturday!!         Every weekend I whip up a brunch concept, and today was all about pancakes! Believe it or not, I have never made a vegan chocolate chip pancake. I find chocolate to be too decadent and pancakes are almost a dessert. However, a few bites of something sweet like this recipe, is like taking a trip down memory lane...

                    2 things I love, homemade cinnamon rolls and a clean kitchen. That being said, I don’t typically make them as they can be somewhat of a mess lol. So if I’m going to clean up, it’s going to be for a good flavor concept and these were a total win..like, I think they are my number 1 favorite hands down! Worth every piece of dough that stuck to my kitchen counters lol   So...

      Hello + Happy Wednesday!!         Today is National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day! If you need an excuse to celebrate, these cookies are it! Years ago I realized that out of hundreds of recipes on EDS, I didn’t have a staple vegan peanut butter cookie recipe! I love to get creative with recipes so I typically gravitate away from the traditional concepts/flavor. The being said, I’m taking a...

                  Let’s talk bread!   For many of us, we dread working with yeast and making homemade bread. Also, it’s so easy to just pick up a loaf just about anywhere. So with all that working against us, why even bother? I’ll tell you why, because this recipe is so easy, so quick with my proofing hack, and so good, you’ll never want to pick up store bought!   Dutch oven breads are one...

                            I may have forgotten in the midst of social distancing, but today is Cinco De Mayo!! In the wake of my favorite holiday, I decided to whip up one of the most coveted recipes on eds, the vegan oven baked Churros! While churros are typically fried, you can make a fab churro just by baking. If you’re not familiar with churros, don’t be...

                    The weekends are for muffins!   There was a period of time that we did over 20 different muffin recipes! I found that best base that made the perfect muffin and I just explored every flavor variety you could imagine lol.  Fast forward to today, I haven’t done a muffin recipe in ages. That being said, I wanted to revisit this comfort food staple. Muffins get a bad...

                  Hello & Happy Tuesday!!       Let’s. Talk. Cookies.    I’ve tried and baked a myriad of vegan cookies and while I love the majority, nothing compares to this Levain style cookie. Some of you may be asking, what the heck is Levain cookie and why do I care? Let me tell you! Levain Bakery is a widely loved NYC bakeshop that features all the baked staples. It’s so...

                    Ok, so I’m kind of obsessed with all things tahini lol. There is something about the combination of tahini and chocolate that just catches my attention. It’s similar to the pairing of chocolate with coffee. They just further enhance each other. A true match made in heaven!   Since I had not made fudge since perhaps 2017, I knew I needed to explore a new...

                  Let’s talk avocados!   If you purchased avocados today, they could be going bad already lol. What’s the silver lining? You can make bread! I’ve tried just about every approach with salvaging avocados. I’ve done freezing, smoothies, pesto sauce, truffles, cookies, brownies, but had never tried a bread! Avocado works great as a butter replacement, so...

           Hello & Happy Saturday!!         As a southern native, fudge was always a thing. They sold it at bakeries, people brought it to gatherings etc. However, I hate to say it, but today fudge just isn’t something you much about anymore lol. Perhaps because as a whole we’re gravitating towards healthier dessert options, but at any rate I was wondering…    Can you make...

                    Hello & Happy Tuesday!!         If there is one thing I’m all about when it comes to food, it’s texture! While some can gravitate away from the mushy types, I love it. I love it so much, there have been many periods in my life where I was honestly pudding obsessed lol. Needless to say, I’ve tried all the vegan puddings on the market and even whipped up...

                      Hello + Happy Saturday!!               If there is one thing I’m forever enamored with, it’s puddings. Some people loathe the texture, I always love a fun texture and grew up on the pedestrian boxed puddings. Today, we make everything from scratch and before you get overwhelmed, I promise..    Making homemade pudding...

                            If there is one concept that Easter is iconic for, it’s the Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs! While honestly I’m not a peanut butter or chocolate person, it was and still is one of my personal favorites, especially when served chilled lol.    Believe it or not, the silver lining to that amazing candy, is that you can easily...

                                If you know me, I’m all about the easy, and this recipe fits the bill! I had seen this concept over the past few years and had been meaning to explore a vegan option. Since you never see that variation, I was curious as to whether it would work or not. Fast forward to today, I STILL didn’t see a vegan version and that was...

                        Let’s talk Levain cookies!    If you’re not familiar with Levain, it’s a widely loved bakery located in NYC. Today they have multiple locations, but the one in the NYC is iconic for this staple chocolate chip cookie. So what makes this cookie style stand out above the rest? So. Much.    To date I’ve tried endless cookies vegan...

                      When it comes to flavor, I’m all about the chocolate and tahini!    There is something about this combination that really goes together seamlessly. Throw in some salt, and you have a punch of flavor that cane be used in just about any baked good! Cookies, cakes, pudding, you name it, this flavor is a go. If you haven’t explored this concept,...

                  Lately I’ve been craving fun food hacks as they are great for improving everything from your cooking skills, to storage and just making the best use of your time and money! Something I’ve always been curious about? What you can do with pancake mix!    We all know that you can whip up a batch of pancakes or waffles with it, but did you know that there are a handful of...

                  Hello & Happy Wednesday!!           For many years I passed on exploring vegan cakes. The thought sounded long and drawn out and just not my cup of tea. However, a 1 bowl sheet cake is so effortless it can be thrown together in minutes and the flavor options are endless. To day we’ve produce over 10 different sheet cakes and each one has just been...

                      Lately I’ve been going thru the pantry and trying to use all my lingering food items. One thing I always have on hand, is a can of chickpeas! Whether you’re throwing them in a sandwich, making hummus, or using the brine to make aquafaba, there is always a use for them! Honestly, one of the last things I thought I could ever do with them, ..was a cookie...

                      If there is one thing I love, it’s a minimalist recipe. One that’s just a handful of ingredients, minimal steps and 1 bowl. To make a good recipe that meets all of the above can be a challenge. However, I promise, these new 6 Ingredient Salted Tahini Brownies deliver!  We all  love a good brownie, but typically they are packed with butter, white flour and...

                            Today I was debating whether to feature a zucchini pizza crust or this fab bread, but everyone voted for this one of course, and I completely understand why! While I’ve produced a lot of vegan breads via EDS, I’ve yet to do a full on banana bread. Perhaps it’s because I’ve experienced underwhelming recipes, I’m not quite...

                              Hello  & Happy Tuesday             Lately I’ve been whipping up recipes that contain minimal ingredients, steps, and knew I had to revisit this recipe from a year or so ago, because it’s just that good! When it comes to cookies, you typically need flour, baking soda and the list goes on. However,...

                        If there is one thing I love, it’s a good brownie! I’ve dabbled in brownie recipes over the years, but never real produced a staple brownie concept until recently. They were always sweet potato or something far from the traditional version. So Last week I was in the kitchen testing a few different recipes. Believe it or not, eggs play an integral role in...

                                If there is one concept I loved and only did one recipe for, it’s vegan truffles! Long before my cooking days when I heard the word truffles, I instantly thought, complex, intricate, but it’s the furthest thing from it whether vegan or not. Granted you can get as fancy as you want with the flavors and outside coating, but...

                         Hello & Happy Tuesday!!           As a Georgia native, there is something about red velvet cake that just always draws me in.

One of  my favorite concepts is what they refer to as “Christmas Crack” lol. The name alone is a lil off-putting, but I promise you the name suits the recipe. The concept is so...
