Okay, when I say this cake is super sticky… I mean it is super friggin’ sticky. See how the cake kinda dips in the center? I’m not exactly certain why this happened. :|
My guess is: incredibly moist (and heavy) cake with crispier ( therefore lighter) edges = cake that sinks in the middle. But the [...]

Vegan Star Crunch!
As a child, did you ever love a food so much that you would risk the wrath of your huge and terrifying older brother to sneak the last one?
The other day my husband and I were reminiscing about childhood junkfood favorites, and I remembered how much I desperately loved Little Debbie Star Crunches. I had [...]

Garam Masala Cookies
A little unconventional maybe– but pretty delicious for a last minute pantry raid. What I like best about these cookies is their texture– they are thin and chewy and crispy all at once. The flavor is, well, flavorful!
Since Garam Masala varies— I cannot guarantee that your cookies will taste just like my photo. :) Mine [...]

Blackberry Cobbler Muffins
When I woke up this morning, it was beautiful and sunny and the birds were singing. Yay!
There was still two feet of snow on the ground… but the sun gave me a much needed burst of energy. So, rather than the usual bowl of cereal my son is honored with in the morning, I made [...]

Chocolate Filled Vanilla Cupcakes
While not super fancy, these cupcakes are sure to please the kids and adults in your life.
The recipe provides an excellent, almost “no fail” type of cake, while the frosting is over-the-top chocolatey. I think it’s the best chocolate frosting I have made so far, and it goes really well with this simple white cake. [...]

Meyer Lemon Pudding
If you are craving sweet, sour and a little bit salty all at once, this pudding will deliver. It is pretty fast and easy to make… but it does seem to take forever to set up in the fridge. It is worth the wait though. The taste kind of reminds me of an Orange Julius… [...]

Almondy Chocolate Chip Cookies (GF)
Okay folks… they may not look like regular chocolate chip cookies… but you gotta trust me on these. They are seriously addicting little bites of awesomeness.
Since I first started eating gluten free, I have been trying to create a replica of my all time favorite vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe. Well, I finally have come [...]

Forbidden Rice Salad
Forbidden rice is so wonderfully amazing. With its chewy texture and deep purple hue, it is as striking as it is tasty.
If you have not yet experienced the taste/texture/greatness of Forbidden rice, it’s worth tracking down. It is, without a doubt, the best rice I have ever enjoyed… and it’s practically black. Very cool.

Gluten Free Focaccia
Last week I received a special recipe request —-from a very seasoned foodie. I was asked if I could conjure up a GF focaccia recipe, because her mother (a celiac) missed the taste of the flavorful flat bread. Isn’t that sweet??
So I searched through my old recipes, artisan bread books, gluten free baking [...]
Sweet Potato Tart with Maple Icing
I adore sweet potatoes. I could go for them any time of day. Today, I had this sweet potato tart for breakfast. It was pretty awesome, and went well with my pumpkin flavored coffee that I have been trying to use up. Although it is easy to make, it would be a royal pain if [...]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffle Cookies
These are super rich and chocolatey, exist somewhere in between a cookie and a truffle, and are loaded with peanut butter. Yes, they taste as awesome as they sound. If you are feeling a little lazy (or are just out of chocolate chips) the cookies are fantastic if you skip the dipping step.

Lentil, Kale and Potato Soup
Since the weather outside is so frightful, (and freezing!) soup is on my mind. This lentil soup is nice and light, yet very satisfying. It is also chock full of warm fuzzy feeling. I created it to emulate a soup I always order at one of my favorite restaurants. Fragranced with lemon and cilantro, and [...]

Shiraz Ganache Covered Brownies
I did something wonderful this weekend… I made brownies, and they tasted amazing. You see, this is a very rare occurrence in my house, so it was cause for a tiny celebration: hence the red wine ganache.
I have a great trusty ol’ brownie recipe… which I never use. I am always looking for something better, [...]

Anise Cookies
Ever since I first tasted a springerle, (which honestly was less than ten years ago) I fell in loooove with anise flavored cookies. There is something about the whole “flavor explosion” thing that happens –from just a touch of anise oil– that really drives me over the edge.
With these, I tried out a flour mix [...]

Cranberry Cupcakes with Clementine Frosting (Gluten-Free)
Cupcakes are an essential part of one’s diet… so, it is entirely necessary for me to figure out a few good gluten-free versions. This cupcake is a good start, its tangy and sweet, with a generous amount of spice (because I still can’t get into the way “wheat-less” batter tastes). I used a flour [...]

Seiten is Evil?!
This is a slightly different type of post- and I apologize in advance for the lack of redundancy. But, there will be a few changes with Manifest Vegan. Nothing huge, but I thought I should let everyone know. My intention for the site will still be the same: to show people that their [...]
