I’m really excited to bring you this delicious vegan pumpkin bread because it’s one of my favourite desserts I’ve made in a while! It’s not quite a cake because it’s not overly sweet and it’s just a little bit more dense. Really it’s the perfect balance of spices and sweetness. I love the addition of…

Vegan Apple Cake
This Vegan Apple Cake was inspired by my Vegan Plum Cake that I released this summer. Now that apples are in season, I wanted to re-create that recipe using the same base and use apples instead of plums. But of these recipes are European style cakes and taste just like the Polish plum and apple…
Roasted Golden Beets with Rosemary Tahini Dressing
Roasted golden beets are a great change from red beets. They’re highly nutritious and deliciously sweet and savory. If you haven’t had them before, they’re almost like a mix between a carrot and a beet. This recipe servers 2, but you can easily multiply it to serve many people. If you’re hosting a holiday dinner…
Healthy Vegan Cinnamon Donuts
I’m so excited to bring you these healthy vegan cinnamon donuts. This recipe is an adaptation from the Oh She Glows recipe for Out The Door Chia Power Doughnuts from the Oh She Glows Cookbook (one of my faves!). It’s a very quick and easy recipe that is sweet, but not too sweet, so you…
Fall Trail Mix with Candied Pecans (Vegan)
I seriously loooove this recipe and I’m so excited to share it with you. I wanted to make a fall themed trail mix with delicious fall inspired ingredients like pecans, walnuts, pine nuts, and pumpkin seeds. I candied the pecans with some maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt and they are to die for. I love…
Fall Buddha Bowl (Vegan + Gluten Free)
I’ve been trying to accept that summer is over (hello summer has been over for a month 😅). I was blessed to have 30 degree weather and enjoy the beach for the last time this year just 2 weeks ago. Now the forecast is calling for snow soon. It’s time live in the present, load…
Vegan Garlic Aioli (Oil-Free)
Aioli is typically made of a base of oil. I wanted to make a whole foods version, so I made this cashew based Vegan Garlic Aioli! Aquafaba gives the aioli a creamy, luscious texture. It’s the perfect replacement for oil in this sauce, similar to how I use aquafaba in my oil-free mayo recipe. It’s…
Jalapeno Corn Vegan Fritters (Oil-Free & Crispy)
I love fritters, but since I prefer to cook without oil it’s not a food that I get to eat often. Fritters are great because you can pack a lot of veggies into them for a healthy snack, appetizer, or side. I came up with these oil-free Jalapeno Corn Fritters by using a few key ingredients…
Vegan Apple Pie Smoothie
Looking to switch up your smoothie game? I love this apple pie smoothie for the fall. The cinnamon gives your body a bit of warmth now that the weather is getting cooler and cinnamon is excellent for blood sugar regulation. If you’re looking for the flavours of apple pie but want to skip the gluten,…
Pumpkin Spice Rawnola
If you haven’t heard of or tried rawnola before, you seriously have to. It’s such a quick recipe to make, and it will become a staple in your pantry! Rawnola is a raw version of granola. All you have to do is pulse the ingredients in a food processor, then add any mix-ins, like pumpkin seeds…

Creamy Vegan Pasta Salad
This creamy vegan pasta salad is one of my go to recipes!! I make it all the time, especially for when I need to feed numerous people. It’s amazing for picnics, potlucks, and family gatherings. It’s also a fantastic option for meal prep and back to school. This recipe makes a very large portion, so…
Vegan Pesto Pasta
This summer I’ve made a ton of pesto with fresh basil from my garden. I love being able to walk just a few steps into my yard and have a bounty of food available! As summer comes to a close it’s time to harvest the rest of our summer produce and use up all of…
Vegan Plum Cake
I come from a fully Polish family. Some of my great childhood memories are baking Polish treats like Rogaliki, Babka, and Plum Cake! Beautiful blue plums are in season and bountiful right now. I picked up some local plums from the farmer’s market to bring you this amazing vegan plum cake that tastes like a traditional European…

Vegan Peach Blueberry Crisp
Summer is slowly and steadily winding down. While others are preparing for the hustle and bustle of September, I’m squeezing out ever last drop of summer. That also means taking advantage of delicious seasonal stone fruits. The season for plums, peaches, and nectarines is just way too short! If you’re in the mood for a…
Naturally Sweetened Peach Iced Tea
One of the things I love dearly about Summer is local produce. In Southern Ontario, we are so blessed with the bounty of local, fresh, incredibly delicious produce. Especially fruits like strawberries, plums, apricots, pears, grapes, and peaches! Peaches are one of my favourite fruits. I love peach flavoured anything to be honest. In July…
Matcha Chia Pudding
I’ve been on such a matcha kick lately. I actually enjoy matcha better cold than warm, and I’ve been loving iced matchas this summer, and treats like this Matcha Chia Pudding! Layers of delicious matcha cashew pudding and classic vanilla chia pudding with any toppings you like make for a delicious and healthy snack, dessert,…
Mango Salsa
Mango salsa is such a great fresh recipe that’s perfect for the summer time. The sweetness from the ripe mango contrasts perfectly with the spicy jalapeno and red onion and the tangy lime juice. Don’t be fooled by the jalapeno because it’s not actually too spicy. If you like more spice though, you can add…
Lavender Lemonade (Naturally Sweetened)
I’ve been experimenting with culinary lavender lately, and I absolutely love it! Lavender adds a really lovely floral taste to foods. It’s really great in sweet recipes, like this Lavender Lemonade, but it’s also great in savory recipes, which I plan to experiment with this fall. For now, I bring you another delicious summer recipe…
