Link Love: Baked Vegan Yummies

-

Every weekend, I really look forward to reading Angela's Recipe Link Love. Once a week, she delights all her readers with absolutely yummy looking pictures of others people's food. It's fantastic, and really gives me new ideas on how to be creative in the kitchen. Because it's Lent and since we've established I'm psychotic already, I decided I'd start by sharing the yummiest vegan baked goods I've found online. These have often been used as my go-to potluck recipes, you know the ones to impress your non-vegan friends with vegan dessert recipes.

(In my attempt to share the yummy-ness in its full unadultarated glory, I did use the photos they had up on their blog. Since they are directly linked, I figured it would be okay! For those involved, please let me know if it's not.)

In the fall, I used to make this cake for my dad all the time when I was in DC because he loooves chocolate, and this recipe was so warm and comforting. (The (never)homemakers are on a blogging break right now, but it's still a fantastic resource!)
















 Can you really go wrong? Everything else he makes is to die for as well, but more about that later...
















 aka. the best f***ing vegan brownies ever, seriously... (I don't use the coffee)

Vegan Visitor's Chocolate Raspberry Torte














 This recipe is amazing, it's gluten-free, easy on the sugar, and because it uses almond flour, you don't have to add any extra oils or anything... and it tastes like heaven.

Oh She Glow's Chick Cupcakes















 I've never made these before, but how can I not post these! They're the cutest thing ever!

Love Veggie and Yoga's No Bake Peanut Butter Protein Bars

















 I have mentioned these before, because I used to make the all the time for the man's post-workout snack. Haven't done that in a while, and I miss eating half the batter making them for him.

The Fitnessista's Chocolate Chip Cookies















 Best no-fail cookies ever. Like those ultimate brownies, this is my go to chocolate chip cookie recipe (though I use a lot less oil and sugar). Their texture is fantastic though and they make huge lovely cookies!

So bake away! Hope you're salivating like I am :)

    Fantastic looking!
    I need to not be so hungry before reading your blog.
    Or maybe that's the key.
    Anyway, I don't know which to try first. I think it's a tie between the pumpkin cake and the protein bar... and the chocolate chip cookies... and the brownies...and the cookie dough ice cream.
    (sigh)

    Hahaha, I know right?
    I'm hoping to post temptations like this every week just to make the decision even more difficult :)

Why Cooking is like Piracy

WARNING : Recipes are like the Pirate Code, they’re just guidelines I find exact proportions in cooking totally overrated. I love the way old medieval recipes were written: they just listed ingredients and then gave you a rough idea of how to assemble them. I admire the confidence that old recipes required that you have in the kitchen, the ‘just wing it’ attitude that compels you to trust your ability as a cook. Consider this awesome fourteenth century recipe for apple pie from The Forme of Cury compiled in 1390 by the master cooks of King Richard III: XXVII For to make Tartys in Applis “Tak gode Applys and gode Spycis and Figys and resons and Perys and wan they are wel ybrayed colourd with Safron wel and do yt in a cofyn and yt forth to bake wel.” In other words, mix together apples, pears, raisins, figs and spices—probably cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and saffron—mix and put it in a pieshell, the ‘cofyn’, and bake. That’s it! Seems very low maintenance, doesn’t it? It

Eat: Turmeric Milk, the perfect night time relaxant

Oh, turmeric, you and your majestic golden hues, how you warm my nights and allow me to fall peacefully asleep, dreaming of warm humid summer nights, candles, and sequinned baldaquins... too much detail? I discovered turmeric milk thanks to my friend Kristen, who has been using it as a pre-bedtime sedative for quite some time. As someone who often has trouble sleeping, I was skeptical. As much as I love chamomile, lavender, and all the usual tricks, they haven't always worked for me. I've heard of the whole "drink a glass of warm milk before bed" idea but never tried it myself, thinking such a thing would be too heavy before bed. Yet, this new concoction won its way to my heart. Clever, turmeric, you. Turmeric, the beautiful orange spice from India, is from the ginger family. (Go figure, I love  ginger.) Ayuverda and TCM boast that turmeric is anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and helps deal with internal and external infections. Doctors have more recently fo

At this point and for shipping reasons, only US and Canadian readers can put in their bids this time. For your pleasure, I'm offering what every raw foodists needs: YOUR VERY OWN DEHYDRATOR!

After one absolutely flawless year of service, I'm giving away my 4 tray Nesco Dehydrator because I'm "upgrading" to a 9 tray Excalibur once we move up to Canada.
