Fall is officially here, the leaves have turned and lay scattered across the ground, and the mornings are cool and brisk. At least here in Montreal. And every year, with the arrival of the cooler weather comes my desire to light the oven and bake sweet treats.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
You know those giant chewy oatmeal cookies you get from coffee shops (and high school cafeterias)? Well, these are their baby cousins. Baby, only because I make them much smaller. Because whether they’re big or small, I’m still going to eat more than one, so it’s just healthier this way…
Coconut Nectarine Pops
The temperatures are rising, and no, its not raining men. But, if you’re anything like me, cold treats are welcome anytime of the day. Ice cream for breakfast? Don’t mind if I do… Sure, a smoothie would be healthier, but when it’s this hot, does it really matter? Well, I guess it does, otherwise I…
Nutty Vegan Brownies
Nutty Vegan Brownies Vegan • Gluten-Free • Soy-Free This certainly isn’t the first brownie recipe to grace the pages of this site. And to be fair there are healthier brownie recipes on here such as my Healthy Black Bean Brownies, Coconut Butter Fudge Brownies, and Turtle Brownies with Date Caramel. And while this isn’t what…
Espresso Bourbon Chocolate Pots
Espresso Bourbon Chocolate Pots Vegan • Gluten-Free • No Sugar Added Valentine’s Day is almost here! T – 2 days! I looooove V-Day, but then again I love any holiday that is centered around chocolate.

Salted-Almond Chocolate Cake
Happy December Peeps! Can you believe it’s already here? I can’t.. Still so much I want to do in the next three weeks before the holidays. Thankfully the gifts are bought and wrapped, the tree is up, the stocking have been knit and hung by the fire with care… but there are still cards to…
Apple-Pumpkin Crisp
Pumpkin-Apple Crisp Vegan, Gluten-Free, Refined Sugar-Free Guys, it’s getting cold… Which means more baking to warm up the house. You guys do that too, right? I feel like the fall months are constant struggle between everything apple, or everything pumpkin spice. There may be other fall flavors, but in my mind these are the only…
Apple & Cinnamon Cupcakes
The latest edition in our round-up of fall desserts. Apple and Cinnamon Cupcakes. Basically apple pie, in cupcake form. I think we should aspire to transform more desserts into cupcakes. What do you think? They’re perfect individual portions. Nothing to slice, just a simple grab and go. Great for parties and definitely kid approved. Not…
Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Muffins
You guys, I have to tell you how proud of myself I am. One, these muffins are delicious. But two, and more importantly, I waited until October before I started bombarding you guys with pumpkin recipes. There are rules in the blogosphere, kind of like how you can’t wear white after labor day. But we’re…
