5 Minute Vegan Chocolate Frosting

February 3, 2021 By Emily

You all have LOVED this vegan chocolate frosting recipe. It was originally published in 2017. It has been one of my most popular recipes on the blog. It's time to give this recipe the extra attention it deserves. I have updated the photos, and re-tested and re-written the recipe for a better user experience. Despite re-writing the text of the recipe the ingredients and recipe itself have stayed mostly the same. I have included a few tips I have learned. I have also answered some … [Read more...]

Sheet Pan Maple Glazed Salmon with Brussels Sprouts

January 27, 2021 By Emily

We all need more quick and easy weeknight meals that requires little cleanup. One that's healthy, filling, and delicious - right? This maple glazed salmon fits all of the bills.  It only requires one large sheet pan, and a small sauce pot. It takes 35 minutes to make, and it's pretty darn tasty. Perfectly roasted, crunchy, brussels sprouts go so nicely with the tender, flaky salmon. And the salmon, oh man, it's baked with this thick, glossy maple glaze that ties everything … [Read more...]

Three Christmas Cookies, From One Simple Dough

December 16, 2020 By Emily

Who's ready for some cookies?!?!  Three Christmas cookies!!! From one simple dough, to be exact!!! Since Holiday baking might look a little different this year due to Covid, I thought, why not make three different cookie flavors all in one fell swoop? That way you can still enjoy a variety of cookie flavors without having to make a bajillion different batches of cookies. My stomach, and my husband, were both happy with this idea. 😉 Here's how it works: You whip up the basic … [Read more...]

December 2, 2020 By Emily

whipped cream in a white bowl with a spoon.

Happy December, friends!! It's officially baking season. And with baked goods comes the need for some homemade whipped cream.  Fluffy clouds of sweet vanilla-scented, creamy heaven, dolloped on top of any pie you love. Or, scooped on top of hot chocolate (recipe coming next week), or even on top of your coffee. Dip strawberries, or, pretty much any kind of fresh fruit, into whipped cream, and you've instantly got a delicious fruity treat. The possibilities are endless on how you … [Read more...]

Pumpkin Cake with Yogurt Cream Cheese Frosting

October 28, 2020 By Emily

A slice of pumpkin cake, with white cream cheese frosting and a pumpkin candy on top, with a bite taken out of the cake.

Pumpkin cake, AKA pumpkin bars, are often shared at fall-time gatherings. I am always excited to see pumpkin cake topped with white cream cheese frosting and a little pumpkin candy at football parties, Halloween Parties, or other fall gatherings. I love anything pumpkin spiced. I would happily take a slice of cake and dig in. It was always good. Had that tender cake, laced with pumpkin and warming spices - topped with that rich cream cheese frosting, a real treat. However, I have always … [Read more...]

Hi friends. It's officially, officially baking season. For some people, baking season starts on September 1st.

And what is some baking without having a good, reliable frosting recipe for you to spread onto a variety of baked goods? This yogurt cream cheese frosting is my new favorite recipe for a slightly lighter take … [Read more...]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Granola (Dessert Granola)

June 10, 2020 By Emily

Hi Friends, I hope you are doing well. There is so much going on in the world lately. I know that food doesn't solve anything besides hunger; but it can nourish us, bring us joy, give us a little comfort. Food can bring us together, even when we have to be apart, food can heal. I just want to say that while things in the world are happening, we always have a basic need to eat. That's why food unites us, even if we still need to social distance. I know it's not solving problems, but creating … [Read more...]
