These delicious vegan cupcakes are made with cocoa powder and espresso powder to make a rich chocolatey base. I top them with vegan buttercream made with fresh cold brew and coffee extract. It's like biting into a Baileys an coffee in cupcake form!
Peanut Butter Pumpkin Pruppet Treats
These peanut butter pumpkin dog treats are good enough for you to eat but I’m pretty sure your doggo will enjoy them more!

So make these for your very bestest fluffy friend!

Easy Lentil Soup
I invite you to see soup the way I do. It’s meditative and yet easy as heck to make. One of my favorite things in the world is cracking open a bottle of red and cooking down some onions and garlic, which means soup is always a win. You can make this for a friend even if they aren’t in need, it’s never to early or late to let them know you care.

Ok, quinoa doesn’t sound mind blowing I get it! But I promise you this is easy and delicious. If you have an instant pot it makes this even easier. I love quinoa because you can basically whip up a healthy meal in less than 20 minutes with no effort which means more time for you or your friends!
A (sorta) Basic Vegetable Soup
I know we are hedging into summer time so soup sounds weird but I encourage you to embrace the year amazingness that is soup! It’s easy to make and usually uses whatever you have on hand.
A Potato Dish for Julia
It doesn’t get any easier than Potatoes Julia. Slice some potatoes, toss them in butter and garlic and then brown them until they look good enough to eat. And well, eat!
Victoria Sponge Cake
Bake a classic-vegan-Victoria sponge cake with this easy recipe, perfect for everyday baking. Lore says this cake earned its name after the death of Prince Albert, as it was a constant friend and nourisher of grief for Queen Victoria. But don’t worry, like all my recipes you don’t need to wait for the passing of the monarchy to make it.

Mabel Ann Haynes Sneed’s Pumpkin Pie
This is terribly unprofessional photo. Yup I know. But, it’s the only one I could find at the moment and maybe it will shame me into giving this family recipe one last vegan go. This is the original recipe so you can enjoy it in all it’s non vegan goodness. And yes, I know it’s March but I figure it’s ok to post now, since you can’t plan a funeral and this family pie has been to at least two.
