I’m a big Fudgsicle fan — but really, who isn’t? I wanted to try to make a vegan version of the frozen chocolate treat, and, dare I say, make it even better?! This dessert gets its sweetness from bananas and saltiness and creaminess from peanut butter. Plus, they take just five minutes to whip up…

Orange Chocolate Scones
I spent a year living in England, where I met my English hubs, so needless to say — he and I both have a fond appreciation for the scone! We also really love the flavor combination of orange and chocolate, which I found to be much more popular in Europe than in America. I really…

Ooey Gooey Brownies
I think brownies might be my favorite dessert.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Snack Balls
It is surprisingly hard to think of creative work snacks. I bring a couple of snacks every day for when I get hungry in the afternoon, and it’s hard not to get tired of carrots and hummus, and apples and peanut butter. Don’t get me wrong, these combinations and others similar to them are basically…
