Black pepper ….in cookies??  It’s happening. We’ve kicked these vegan double chocolate chip cookies up a notch with espresso, black pepper and a touch of cinnamon.  Adding black pepper brings a hint of spice and a flavour profile that’s both subtle and complex.   I…

I originally planned this vegan salted caramel and chocolate squares as a Valentine’s Day recipe, but now that I’m looking at the pictures these would be perfect for St. Patrick’s Day.  The pepita seeds (pumpkin seeds) bring the leprechauny green and are also responsible for the…

Whether it is Chrismas or Thanksgiving, stuffing  has always been my absolute favourite part of the traditional holiday feast. Literally I remember filling my plate with so much stuffing my mom would need to remind me to save some for the rest of the family.  This…

With the first day of December comes the first holiday recipe; vegan chocolate candy cane pretzel bark!  Think of it of as a salted caramel hot chocolate getting together with a peppermint mocha…a chocolaty, heavenly marriage of salty and sweet!  I seriously recommend making this…

Mostly sweet with a little bit of spice and everything nice!  That could describe me (ha!) or this vegan chocolate chia pudding recipe…which I love.   Chocolate, cinnamon and a hint of cayenne change up the classic chocolate pudding recipe.  It’s a great weeknight dessert…

It’s the kick-off of the holiday season today: the Toronto Santa Claus Parade + decorating our Christmas Tree.  It was also extremely cold when I woke up with the tiniest bit of snow outside.  All these factors combined I decided some decadent baking was in order!…

We are getting into the Halloween spirit here at the Vie De La Vegan household. Halloween isn’t a widely celebrated event here in Australia, but being as interested in the supernatural world These mummied bananas were an easy and healthy dessert we made together. Just…

I made the chocolate covered macadamias by coating the macadamias in a raw chocolate and let them set in the fridge. I’d never had chocolate covered macadamias before but this will definitely be something I’m going to make again, we loved these crunchy chocolatey nuts!…

Raw apple pie, served in a jar, with luscious coconut cream on top <3 Raw apple pie One thing that I just could not get out of my head for this salad jar competition was that I NEEDED TO USE MY SPIRALIZER. Seriously, it’s just…

So I went grocery shopping thinking, ok, I’m going to make a lemon cheesecake. I need some macadamias and some lemon and maybe some agave, and some almonds and dates for the base too. Then I got home and unpacked my groceries and remembered I…

I made a pretty basic modification to my 5 ingredient lemon cheesecake – I left out the lemon and added mango. And that’s it. Just almonds and medjool dates for the base, and mango, bananas and coconut oil for the cheesecake. It sounds pretty stupid…
