I had to think fast on my feet today. I came home after breakfast with this grandiose plan to get candy-making done on my day off, in hopes that I could plan ahead for the rest of the week. But wouldn’t you know it, the flippin’ gas company was in the neighborhood and…

Homemade Vegan Sno-Caps
So maybe Sno-Caps chocolate weren’t the best candy item to make during Los Angeles’ hottest week of the year. I found photographing these puppies only enabled them to melt even quicker while being subjected to my extremely hot-as-a-donkey’s-butt kitchen (sorry Mom for the vulgar language–I know you are reading this, threatening me with…
Homemade Vegan Rolos
Man, it feels so good to be back in the kitchen with my candy thermometer! It’s been 2 years since I last picked it up and I cannot believe that I forgot how much I love doing this.

It has always fallen upon the month of October that I have been involved, and 2). I LOVE HALLOWEEN! (and that’s putting it…
The Best Gluten-Free & Vegan Brownies
We all have our differences when it comes to the classic brownie and each side has their fierce supporters.

There are others who love a lighter bite, resembling a cake-like texture but full of chocolatey goodness. I fall…
