Before I transitioned to a whole food plant based lifestyle my favorite ice cream was mint chocolate chip. I loved the the mint flavor and the texture and flavor of the all the little bits of chocolate throughout the ice cream. As I do with all of my favorite foods I find a way to…

Apple Oat Crisp Vegan/GF
I love Fall – leaves are scattered across the sidewalk and the air is slightly brisk. Apples are in season and there are so many varieties to choose from. Many of them are begging to be turned into a delicious Apple Crisp. Can you really make a healthy version of Apple Crisp – oh yes…
Chocolate Cherry Brownies
It almost sounds to good to be true but you really can make delicious brownies that are healthy too! I have to admit that I haven’t had a brownie in years – or so that was true until earlier this week. On Tuesday we celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary and I wanted something special for…

Chocolate Ganache Pudding
The photo doesn’t do this dessert any justice. It’s so difficult to get good photos at night this time of year – sigh. It’s time to fess up and share with you that the base of this decadent dessert is none other than a can of cannelleni beans (or a box if you buy the…

The secret ingredients in this crisp recipe are cashew butter and applesauce! They work perfectly to replace butter and are neutral in flavor so you wont’ even detect any difference. I wish I could take credit for the brilliant idea to sub cashew butter for dairy butter but I owe the magic to Isa Moskowitz…
