Vegan Apple Crisp with Caramel Sauce

Yum

I’ve been making this apple crisp for quite a while now and I’m happy to say I’ve nailed it. For real, it’s been on repeat in my house for weeks and I don’t plan on stopping. Apple season is made for this vegan apple crisp, trust me! It’s topped with an easy oat and pecan topping and then drizzled with a decadent but not too sweet date caramel sauce. The date caramel is my other obsession and I’ll never go back to any other type of caramel sauce, EVER.

Vegan Kale Caesar Salad: The Only One You’ll Ever Need

October 6, 2020 By jaclyn 1 Comment

Yum

I do love salads, but I have a few guidelines when it comes to making and enjoying them. They have to be filling and hearty, they have to have some crunch (hello texture) and they need to be delicious. So, whenever I post a salad recipe, you can rest assured that it’s anything but boring. And I’ve been making and enjoying this vegan kale caesar salad recipe for years! But for some reason, I haven’t actually posted it on here, until now.

I recently went apple picking and picked WAYYYY too many apples. So what’s a girl to do with all those apples? Make these apple crumble bars of course! There’s something about these delicious apple pie bars that scream Fall. And don’t even get me started on the date caramel sauce. I got the sauce perfectly drizzly and I highly recommend making it.

Brussels Sprouts and Pancetta In a Skillet

Yum

One of the veggies I most look forward to when it’s Fall is definitely brussels sprouts. There’s something about roasted sprouts that just are comforting, and the perfect transition into cooler temps. When you make brussels sprouts in a cast iron and crisp them, they taste nothing like those boring and bland sprouts you may have had growing up. And these brussels sprouts and pancetta with pine nuts and dates hit all the notes. Crispy, savory, salty and a little sweet.

Healthier Homemade Turtles: Vegan & Easy

Yum

Did you grow up eating the classic caramel turtles around the holidays? I remember having them along with countless other chocolates too. Specifically, those Guylian chocolate shells, do you remember those? Those were probably my favourite. I’ve always had a sweet tooth when it comes to chocolate and I’d happily eat them around the holidays no matter what time of day (yes, even at like 8 am!). It only made sense to make my own version of one of these classic holiday chocolates. These homemade turtles are irresistibly good and made with some healthier swaps because my sweet tooth just isn’t the same as it once was.

I’ve been loving lentils for a long time! And I usually find that people either love them or hate them. It’s kind of become my personal mission to change those lentil haters into lovers. One way to do that is to use the correct lentil for the job, and it doesn’t hurt to make them crispy. Beyond that, you’ll learn why certain lentils are better than others at getting them crispy. Let’s make some crispy lentils!

Vegan Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread: Made in One Bowl

Yum

Remember a few months back when everyone was in lockdown and baking banana bread every week. Ha! Good times, good times (not really). So now that we’re approaching fall, maybe it’s time to switch to pumpkin bread? I think it’s a very good idea personally. So I created this delicious vegan gluten free pumpkin bread. And not only is it low in ingredients, it’s moist (sorry for using the “m” word) and made in just one bowl! I’m all about less clean up, so if there’s a way to make something in one bowl, you better believe I’ll do it.

Miso Cookies: Easy & Gluten Free

Yum

You may be wondering why you’d want to put miso in cookies, and I’m here to tell you why. Miso adds a depth of flavour and savoury goodness to an otherwise basic chocolate chunk cookie. And the truth is, it’s not overpowering at all. You’ll barely notice it in there, but the slight savoury flavour really adds a nice touch. And these miso cookies are gluten free and grain free too. The added benefit of brown butter ghee keeps these paleo friendly and adds even more flavour too.
