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…

Gluten Free Pumpkin Doughnuts
October may be my favorite month. What’s not to love? The earth becomes draped with beautiful fall colours making walking around my university campus so much more enjoyable. At the end of the month there’s Halloween where one can dress up and eat lots of chocolate. Then of course there’s pumpkin. It seems that everywhere comes up with a special pumpkin treat. Whether its pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin lattes. pumpkin pie, pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin muffins, and even pumpkin doughnuts. I go on a excursion to try all things pumpkin and then I bake some pumpkin things at home. I have to say that these pumpkin doughnuts are better than any I…

Brown Rice Syrup
Brown rice syrup has been on my “to try” list for some time. I have seem it used in many vegan recipes and I love trying out new natural sweeteners. I haven’t been able to find some at any health food stores so when Tropical Traditions asked if I would like to review it, I happily said yes! Brown rice syrup is a natural sweetener it is made by steeping whole brown rice with an enzyme. It is great for cooking and baking. It is also gluten free and easily digestible. As a bonus, Tropical Traditions brown rice syrup is certified organic For my first experience tasting brown rice syrup, I was surprised by…
