Vegan Buttercream Frosting is perfect for cupcakes, cakes, or eating by the spoonful when no one is watching.  This frosting is made with 4 simple ingredients: Vegan Butter, Almondmilk, Vanilla, and Powdered Sugar. The best vegan butter I've found is the Miyoko's Cultured Vegan Butter. If you can find it in a store near you, I definitely recommend it.  The key for this recipe is to let the butter warm to room temperature prior to mixing it together. I used my Kitchenaid mixer with the whisk attachment on medium to high speed.  Please like, share, and follow for more content!

I love sweets but not always in large portions. These Bite Sized Strawberry Cupcakes are perfect for that sweets craving.  I start this recipe by pureeing the strawberries. I just added them to a blender until smooth. Then I created the "buttermilk" while mixing the sugar, olive oil, and vanilla. I used my Kitchenaid mixer. I added the remaining ingredients to finish up the batter. I tasted it to see if it was too tart or not. If it is too tart, you can add extra sugar. I baked mine in a mini muffin tin with cupcake liners. To be more sustainable you can buy silicone liners or oil the tin prior to using.  Please like, share, and follow for more content!

I was fortunate to grow up with 3 great-grandmas in my life. Unfortunately they began to pass away when I turned 20, and last week my last great-grandma passed away. I'm honestly still a little shaken by last week's death. Even though she was 101, there was no warning or time to prepare - she was just gone.  I flew home to Minnesota on Thursday and was able to attend the funeral. I had extra time to visit some family as well, and I wanted to share a few highlights from my trip.  I sat by one of the 10,000 lakes and tried a new vegan ice cream that I found at Target.  Some of my family has farm land, so I was able to visit and pet some of the baby cows.  And I made a casserole which is a traditional dish of the Midwest. This one is a Taco Casserole with half Daiya cheddar and half non-vegan cheese for other family members.   While my trip to Minnesota was sad, I'm thankful I was able to make a few memories. I'm also thankful th...

Buying roasted red peppers in a jar produces a lot of waste unless you reuse the jars every time. Instead, you can buy 2 bell peppers and roast them in the oven for about 45 minutes. Then let them rest for about 15 minutes and easily peel the skin. You can store them in some olive oil in the fridge or use them right away. Please like, share, and follow for more content!
