The Best Vegan Vanilla Sugar Cookies with Royal Icing
‘Tis the season for holiday gift exchanges and what better gift to give than one that comes straight from the heart: Cookies! I’ve been using this vanilla sugar cookie recipe for YEARS- back when I was still eating eggs and cow butter and once we went vegan, part of me was a little sad thinking I’d have to give up this delicious recipe altogether.

What I’ve learned along the way with vegan baking is that with the removal of animal products you some how magically end up ...
Vegan Lemon Poppyseed Loaf
Happy weekend friends! I'm excited and a little nervous to share this recipe because it's not a traditional lemon poppyseed loaf that may come to mind when you think of one.

I knew that at least for Elias' first birthday we would do something wintery themed but I'm sure it'll be the last of that for a long while now (enter: Star Wars & superheroes!) so I took full advantage of it knowing full well I'll have zero creative control in the years to come. A December birthday naturally inspires ideas of snowflakes and barren trees while gingerbread and fluffy marshmallows swirled in my head as I pieced together the dessert ...
