I've been a fan of meringue since I was a little kid and my Great Aunt Carol used to make Baked Alaskas! Every year she would make a home made baked Alaska for my cousin's birthday. It was SO yummy! Especially the meringue part on top! As a young adult and on my own for the first time, during the "fat free" fad, meringue cookies would somehow wind up in my shopping basket at Trader Joe's with … [Read more...]
Rosemary Blueberry Scones (Vegan & Gluten Free)
As a HUGE fan of high tea, I can appreciate a good scone BUT it's not so easy to find vegan and gluten free ones! I first made this recipe for one of my Young Living Essential Oils events. It was a morning workshop and I thought scones would be a yummy treat for a breakfast time event. As you know, I'm a busy mom of 2 and run my own business so... easy and fast but tasty recipes are my … [Read more...]
Orange Chocolate Chip Scones (Vegan & Gluten Free)
For Teacher Appreciation week, my toddler's school asked families to bring in food for breakfast or lunch. The school is thankfully already gluten and dairy free (and I think it's cute when they 'remind' me, LOL!) Anyway, my RosemaryBlueberry Scones recipe popped into my head! So I made this version (along with another recipe plus fresh fruit), with enough for the 30+ teachers and therapists at … [Read more...]

Orange Chocolate Brownies (Vegan & Gluten Free)
These brownies are AMAZING! I created them for an Essential Oils workshop and they were a huge hit! Orange and chocolate go so well together, and the flavors meld perfectly. It's one of my mother's favorite combos'! (I am a fan too!) One guest at my event even said it was all she could do to keep from putting the entire tray of brownies in her purse! (Now that's a compliment if I ever heard … [Read more...]
Peppermint Crunch Bars (Vegan & Gluten Free)
A favorite flavor of mine is peppermint and one of my favorite things ever is chocolate!!! So a combo of the 2 gets me pretty excited. I just made this recipe for the first time for my Young Living Essential Oils workshop. It's a cross between my favorite chocolate bar (that I eat um... 'almost' daily) which has toasted quinoa for a light crispy crunch and a Nestle Crunch bar, which I no longer … [Read more...]
Lemon Meringue Cookies (Vegan & Gluten Free)
My current obsession are meringues. It's like magic (more on this below!) and I can't get enough. These VEGAN lemon meringue cookies are SO good my Dad (who is NOT vegan or gluten free) polished off an entire dish of them without even leaving me one! He also thought it was pretty darn cool when he found out what they were made of! Do you know what it is? No, not egg whites... it's VEGAN! Any … [Read more...]
Carrot Cake & Cream “Cheese” Frosting (Vegan & Gluten Free)
My husband's birthday was coming up and I asked him what kind of cake he wanted. Last year I made my chocolate cupcakes, but I wanted to make something new this year! His request... carrot cake! So I took the cream cheese frosting from my blueberry cake and made my first ever carrot cake! I know it's really hard to believe that as a bunny lover, I've never made it before but it's true! (Eaten it, … [Read more...]
