adventures in vegan baking & cooking

Recently, I became vegan. I really miss butter and cheese. 

It's been a challenge cooking and baking. I've had some hits and misses.


I was trying to copycat PF Changs tofu lettuce wraps. I've made it several times already. 

This was a complete miss. I mean in in the trashcan taste like cardboard miss. It was supposed to be pumpkin bread. 

Lemon Olive Oil bread. This was decent. I don't think I'll make it again, but not bad. 

Chocolate chip cookies. At first they were good, but I think it was because I was desperate for a cookie. This happens when you haven't had a cookie in a month. 

This blogger claimed these were the best cookies. You only need 3 ingredients bananas, oatmeal and chocolate chips. I wasn't that desperate for a cookie. These sat on the kitchen counter for way too long. Fail. 

Vegan coffee cake. This one I liked probably because it required a nice amount of Earth's Balance. 

Mrs. Coldplay's oatmeal raisin cookie passed the test. This one was a keeper. Thank you GP.

If you would like any of the recipes please leave a comment :)
