Vegan Strawberry Scones
Scones are the perfect thing to make on a weekend morning, they are so delicious while still warm out of the oven! Since strawberries are in season, I love to use them in baked goods like scones this time of the year. You may think that scones are difficult to make, but they are actually quite easy as long as you don’t over-handle the dough. These ones happen to be vegan, so if you are allergic to dairy or eggs, or just choose not to eat them, these are the perfect thing to make! They taste just as delicious as traditional scones too!

Chickpea Wild Rice Salad
Chicken wild rice salad is a Minnesota staple! So I thought I would create a veganized version, my chickpea wild rice salad! This is just as good as the traditional chicken wild rice salad but without the dairy, eggs and meat. I make a creamy dressing with coconut milk and cashew butter and it is perfect for the hearty salad! This is good to serve at picnics, for Memorial day, or any other potluck you may need to bring a dish to! Although it tastes rich, it is actually pretty healthy thanks to all of the nutrients from the veggies, and fiber and protein from the wild rice and chickpeas! So you can feel good about eating it!

Waffles are the perfect thing to make for Mother’s Day Brunch! So today I am sharing my recipe for Vegan Vanilla Almond Waffles!

Asparagus and Edamame Barley Risotto
If you are looking for a hearty vegan main dish, barley risotto is a good option! The recipe I am sharing with you today is actually healthier than traditional risotto, and is really easy to make. I use hulled barley, a whole grain instead of the usual rice, and instead of cream and cheese I use coconut milk and nutritional yeast which may sound odd but trust me, they taste cheesy in this dish. I include asparagus, since it is in season now and edamame for protein so this is a full meal. This is serious comfort food, and something you will want to make again!
Vegan Almond Butter Chocolate Eggs
Peanut butter filled chocolate eggs were always my favorite Easter candy. So I always make my own at home as an adult. This year I decided to make some almond butter ones as well, since I feel like almond butter is a little more fancy, and you don’t generally find almond butter eggs at the store so they are special. These are perfect for sharing around Easter with your friends and family if you are looking to give out treats! They are pretty easy to make, all you need to do is mix up the filling, shape them, and dip them in melted chocolate. If you are not a fan of almond butter, or are allergic, feel free to use your favorite nut or seed butter for the recipe.
