It’s been years since I had popcorn since being corn-free. This “popcorn” is made using mahkana which is also known as lotus seed. Once cooked properly it has a very similar taste and texture to popcorn. As someone who used to LOVE popcorn, this is honestly the best snack! …

The Best Dairy Free Whipped Cream
There’s nothing better than the sweet simplicity of whipped cream. Growing up we would always make homemade whipped cream to serve with fresh berries or make ice cream sundaes. It was so fun to make to from scratch, tasted 1000 times better but was actually incredibly easy to make.
This whipped cream is dairy free and vegan and just as creamy, thick and fluffy like the one I had growing up. It’s truly the best!

Vegan Chickpea “Chicken” Salad Sandwich
Sometimes you just crave a really hardy, savory sandwich! In this case, one of my favorite go-to’s for a vegan option is this vegan chickpea “chicken” salad sandwich.
It’s filling and really meets any plant based sandwich craving! I used to love things like chicken and tuna salad growing up as a kid. (Far before I was vegan.) These were foods commonly found in all the deli’s and prepared food sections at markets.
Growing up, making something like this out of a plant based alternative like chickpeas would have never even occurred to me. Now, I love using chickpeas as a plant based protein in my cooking. It’s really versatile in the way it can absorb flavor, it has a great texture, and a great source of vegan protein and fiber. Not to mention all the vitamins and minerals!…

I’ve been tweaking this recipe a bit over the years because I was determined to make the best vegan classic pumpkin pie and I’m so excited to share it you!…
Vegan Apple Cobbler
This vegan apple cobbler is SO easy and SO delicious to make, it’s truly a must this time of year. Or any time of year for that matter.
To me, there is nothing better than warm caramelized apple filling with flaky cobbler bits paired with cold vanilla ice cream. It’s one of those beautifully classic recipes that brings me back to childhood and always makes me feel comforted when eating it.
Of course I made a vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free version of one of the favorite deserts.
