Chocolate Agave Bran Cookies
These cookies are the best I’ve ever had! I think I have made at least four batches of these in just a month! And that’s saying something considering I hardly ever make the same recipe twice. Not only are they vegan but they are also sugar free and have a good dose of extra fiber in them. Did I mention they are delicious as well? This cookie recipe came out of necessity. I was going to remake the recipe for the Chocolate Agave Trail Mixers from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar but I was all out of whole wheat flour. I didn’t want to use just white flour and I…

Vegan Eggnog
Last year when I posted my recipe for Cranberry Filled Eggnog Cupcakes, many of you admitted to not liking eggnog. I have to admit that I was slightly taken aback by this. I don’t understand how some do not like eggnog. Although, I do have to confess, I also cannot drink eggnog on its own. There’s just something about it being so thick and sweet. I still love the taste and creaminess eggnog brings to things! So I came up with a list of things to make with eggnog and hopefully you will learn to enjoy eggnog too! (Yes this has been a year in the making) Make an eggnog…

Spicy Oatmeal Cookies
Christmas is almost here and you know what that means? Cookies! I can’t wait to bake and sample multiple cookies. For me the quintessential Christmas cookie has to be filled with spices. Of course there’s the traditional gingerbread cookie which is lovely and delicious but I don’t always like to go traditional. This year it feels like Christmas has come too quickly. I love Christmas and I can’t believe that I have had no time to enjoy all of my favorite things about it and I still have one more exam left! Does anyone else love Christmas songs? My favorite is Carol of the Bells by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Its so epic…

Mini Brownie Cupcakes for my First Blogiversary
A verry merry blogiversary to me! I can’t believe that I have already had this blog for a year! My real blogiversary was on November 7 but I decided that today being 11/11/11 was an extra special occasion to celebrate. I hope all of you are enjoying it too! Have a cupcake with me to celebrate Sprinkles! I had been reading blogs for two or three years before I actually started my own. The reason I did not start sooner was because I was unsure about being able to keep it up. It seems silly now that I have kept this blog up for a year and I look forward to many…

Caramel Peanut Butter Squares
I can’t believe Halloween just past. It already feels like Christmas! Where I live we just got our first snowfall. Time passes quickly, doesn’t it? I mentioned in my Brown Rice Syrup post about a recipe I was dying to try. The recipe I had in mind were the Apple Peanut Butter Caramel squares from Veganomicon. The recipe only calls for a small amount of brown rice syrup in the peanut butter caramel but I think it makes all the difference. The brown rice syrup makes a gooey and sweet topping. I also changed this recipe so that it was vegan and gluten free. This bar is subtly sweet and…

As things settle down, I promise to make it up to you with plenty of delicious recipes that I have been hiding! In case you missed it I did have a guest post last week on Moves and Munchies!

This is what I have been experiencing as I am currently in the process of moving out of my house and have been busy busy! My first full day at the new house was yesterday and the first thing I did in the morning was bake cookies. I couldn’t wait to christen my new place with yummy home baking! Especially since I have a brand new pretty stainless steel oven. Awe-some! So as soon as I figured out how to use my new oven, I set to work. I…

Drinkable Carrot Cake
Drinkable cake! Hope that got your attention… I thought it was about time that my blog’s look was revamped! What do you guys think of the new look? I would love to have your input on anything I can do better. Please tell me if you are having viewing difficulties. Usually I enjoy food I can chew on more than drinks but this is an exception. It is a perfect refreshing drink for the last weeks of summer. This smoothie is creamy, spicy, and sweet. It is everything you could imagine in a drinkable carrot cake. So thick and creamy. I ate it with a spoon! Drinkable Carrot Cake Makes a…
