Vegan Chocolate Truffles

Time for some sweet confessions on when I was not vegan one afternoon nearly a year ago. It was late March and I had surprised my husband with a long weekend to Cape Cod for his birthday. If you have ever been there, you’ll know that this is not exactly the best time to go [...] Related posts:

Coconut Ice Cream

Summers in New York are typically very hot and very sticky. As you walk through the heat you can feel the heavy weightiness of the humidity, and if you do not have air conditioning, you probably experience a kind of misery that only ice can abate. This summer, though, is a whole other story. We’ve [...] No related posts.

Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake with a Shortbread Crust

The April 2009 challenge is hosted by Jenny from Jenny Bakes. She has chosen Abbey's Infamous Cheesecake as the challenge.

As you may know, I've made vegan cheesecake a few times. Every time I've made cheesecake, however, I have never made my own crust. This month's Daring Baker's challenge has given me the motivation and opportunity to make my own crust, which I think turned out great. Related posts:

Soba Noodles and Asparagus in Peanut Sauce

Ah, we're finally beginning to get settled in our new apartment. It's not been fun, and if you're considering moving I'd suggest thinking about it for a bit more before you do it. Your life gets turned upside down, and you start navigating 60+ boxes (we have been anyway), and before you know it you've completely forgotten what box contains that vital thing you were using every day pre-move. One of my sole consolations with this move is the kitchen. That has made these last few weeks and months mostly worth the stress and frustration. If you have ever been to New York or seen a New York City kitchen at least in pictures or on TV, you'll know that they are tiny. Some are reminiscent of a kitchen with barely a stove, refrigerator and at least one square foot of counter top space, and unless you pay an arm and a leg you'll not find kitchens that are much larger than this. Ours was a railroad style and for four years my husband heard me complain constantly about how much I loathed the space. Until now. No related posts.

Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake

One year ago we embarked on the vegan cheesecake quest. It was my husband's birthday and I made him a cheesecake from Fatfree Vegan Kitchen. We didn't love that first cheesecake, but the texture was there, as well as the creaminess. It seemed that we had a mission. My husband had that gleam in his eyes that he sometimes gets when he sees a worthy challenge set before him. This year it's a different gleam, because now peanut butter has entered the picture and we've both realized that the possible flavors are endless. Related posts:
