My Fudgy Brownie Cookie Birthday Cake (plant-based)
Layers of oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, vegan mango mousse, fudge brownie, and chocolate buttercream. I couldn’t imagine a birthday cake more decadent and indulgent.

Fruit Tarts with Custard (plant-based)
The kids have been begging for a fruit tart filled with custard and shiny berries on top for months. I just couldn’t figure out how to make it without milk and eggs, so I kept putting it off.
Sweet Samoan Coconut Buns (plant-based)
Based on a Samoan recipe for pani popo, the buns have a lovely, sweet coconut glaze. These are the softest, sweetest pull-apart rolls you can bake. They will melt in your mouth.
Mom’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (plant-based)
I always have the ingredients for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies lying around the house. They’re chewy, warm, sweet cookies that can cheer anyone up!
Banana Treat Muffins (plant-based, gluten-free)
Bananas and chocolate in a convenient portable (vegan) muffin cup. What could be better? Thanks to Megan for this recipe. I was skeptical about using 4 bananas for one dozen muffins, but it really makes them so moist. They’re definitely the best banana chocolate chip muffins I’ve ever tasted!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites (plant-based, gluten-free)
These delicious chocolate peanut butter cookie dough bites take a few minutes to whip up and don’t need to be baked. No gluten, no dairy, just amazing flavor and decadent enjoyment.
Pasta with Cheezy Lentil Sauce (plant-based, gluten-free)
A totally yummy, cashew-cheezy, hearty-lentilly pasta dish of comfort for any family dinner.
Mushroom Stroganoff (plant-based, gluten-free)
We used to make this dish with beef and dairy, but I’d say we all enjoy this vegan mushroom stroganoff just as much, if not more. It gets bonus points for not leaving a super heavy feeling in your stomach.
Fudgy Apricot Torte (plant-based, gluten-free)
I’ve never put olive oil in a cake before, but this came out as just about the moistest, most flavorful chocolate cake we’ve ever eaten! We spread apricot jam between the layers, and the hints of vanilla-almond-chocolate-coconut really make it a cake worth having third helpings.
Mac & Cheeze with Broccolini (plant-based, gluten-free)
You toss some cashews and cheesy sauce ingredients into a blender, boil the pasta and broccoli in the same pot, and mix it all together. Plant-based mac & cheese is a new favorite at our house!
