Cheesecake bites: I’ve heard good things about the cheesecake bites, even the cashier was raving about them as I was checking out. Grabbed the chocolate since that seems more up my alley, but there are two other flavors; strawberry and vanilla/regular.
They were okay, maybe my standards/hopes were too high but they had a weirdly sour/salty profile. Not the worst though, but definitely not worth it for almost $10 IMO.

Sanders dark chocolate caramels: I got these on a whim since I love dark chocolate and I do miss having caramels. Wasnt expecting them to be too good since the caramel is made from coconut cream. I was pleasantly surprised and I think these are one of my favorite df treats!! They do have a bit of a coconut taste but to me it doesn’t overwhelm the flavor and it goes with it nicely. Of course I would love if they had a type without coconut but still good. They are very pricey though :(

Have you tried any of these? What did you think?

Made this for my bday and it might just be the best thing ive ever put into my mouth.

The original recipe is for a 4 layer cake (https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/dark-chocolate-mousse-cake/#tasty-recipes-72931 ), but I followed this recipe for just two layers.

Substitutions used were baker’s chocolate bars (semi sweet), country crock df heavy cream, and some almond milk + vinegar for the buttermilk in the cake.

I highly recommend this recipe. Even my bf who eats full dairy said “you can’t even tell that it’s dairy free”

Turned the rest into “chips” and made the filling into a dip

Followed this recipe https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-strawberry-cake/#wprm-recipe-container-5506

and yes i did frost them, but was too lazy to take a picture. the frosting is amazingggg though. i added the rest of the strawberry puree i had leftover into it instead of milk and yum! definitely brought out the flavor.

Used two extra cloves of garlic, some black pepper, and a tiny bit of mustard powder. Also regular noodles instead of spaghetti squash. It thickened up quite a bit so Id probably add a bit more water next time. This was so yummy though!

Followed two different recipes by King Arthur Baking;

1. No fuss focaccia for the base. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/no-fuss-focaccia-recipe

2. Cinnamon roll focaccia for the topping, glaze , and instructions on when to add the stuff. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/big-and-bubbly-cinnamon-roll-focaccia-recipe

What I did: Made the no fuss focaccia base, but added 1 T sugar in the dough. Also, it says you need a mixer, but ive been making this recipe by hand in a bowl and it turns out just fine. Just mix it well. Let it rise until poofy.

Next I followed the ingredients for the topping on the second recipe while the dough rose.

Once the dough was ready, I sprayed it with olive oil, sprayed my finger tips and then dimpled the dough. I then sprinkled the mixture all over the dimpled dough, as evenly as I could. And I dimpled it again to push the topping into it. Drizzled more EVOO on top according to the second recipe instructions.

*I dont have Vietnamese cinnamon so i just used the standard one at most grocery stores.

Baked it according to the No Fuss instructions.

Removed from oven, let it sit for a minute, then transferred “carefully” to a wire rack. Then let it cool for about 10 minutes while I made the glaze and cleaned up a bit. I put a parchment lined baking sheet under the wire rack and poured the glaze over the focaccia.

Hope you enjoy if you make this!

*I used country crock butter for the topping. And oat milk for the glaze. You can use water for the glaze in a pinch.

Made with store bought puff pastry and home grown cherry tomatoes

Layers from bottom to top: Banana instant pudding layer -> made with oat milk, using 2 cups milk instead of 3. still turned out really runny but i think that’s cause i used homemade oat-milk.

Banana cake

Blackberry mousse

Blackberries

Topped with vanilla bean whipped cream (country crock plant based cream)

Recipes will be in the comments :)

This recipe was so easy and simple. Used them for pulled pork sandwiches. Personally have no idea how they tasted but the feedback was good! (should have made a double batch) 10/10

The smores ice cream sandwiches are really good but have a play-dough-like aftertaste 6/10

Yall, these back to nature crackers are SO GOOD. i wish they were a little more salty or had those salt flakes like cheese its. 8/10

Pistachio Ice cream by sprouts: It’s alright. I had never tried pistachio ice cream before. It’s just really bland. I do like the saltiness of the pistachio though. 4/10

still learning how to layer them but they are so fun and i love the texture
