Pecan Pie - Vegan & GF

11/8/2019 0 Comments

This week I have a request from my dad, Ernie Larson! It's his birthday Monday November 11, join me in wishing him a happy birthday! He requested his favorite pie, Pecan Pie, with my twist on it. So here it is. Fully of ooey, gooey sticky filling with pecans to boot. I went a little pecan crazy so have reduced the amount of pecans in the recipe so it'll be just right for you. :) This recipe reflects a standard 9" pie but if you want to make the cutsie mini cast iron skillet version I have the measurements in the notes of the recipe. Let's get baking! Make it with me on YouTube/FaceBook or read about it below. Happy Birthday Dad! Thanks for being the best dad and our weekly calls!
All my love, Christa

Nothing like a piece of hot berry pie fresh from the oven. Am I right? Who can resist? I surely cannot! Especially when it is made with love. A homemade crust, mixed berry filling, topped with care, baked until golden and served hot or cold. I doubt anyone will notice that it's free of refined sugar, dairy and gluten, they'll just be sneaking a little more. Easy to make oil-free. Get your slice!

Luscious White Chocolate Cheesecake on a Fudgy Brownie Crust | A Rich and Decadent Vegan Dessert

3/8/2018 2 Comments

A homemade brownie is topped with a white chocolate cheesecake and adorned with more chocolate and sliced almonds. An easy dessert to assemble with the wow-factor in full-force. It's a very rich dessert yet is somehow laced with good health. From almonds to dates to cacao powder you can find all that and more. This is a #plantbased/#vegan, #glutenfree and #oilfree dessert yet you'd never ever know it. I spent time perfecting the "perfect" cheesecake and this is my take. It is the Luscious Cheesecake from "The Artistic Vegan Cookbook: An Alchemical Transformation" dressed up as I was celebrating my birthday!
