Last-Minute Vegan Cheesecake
December 16, 2012
The holidays are so crazy, aren't they? From wrapping-up work projects for the end of the calendar year, to finalizing gift shopping and decorating the house, there is often little time to do anything else. Even though I had plenty of notice for a holiday get together with friends a...

December 12, 2012
The last few months at work have been crazy for me, and that's left me little time to blog and try new recipes. The good news is that I have a fair bit of time off over the holidays, and I plan on cooking and blogging up a storm. Stay...

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone! I'm posting this recipe for those of you looking for a quick Thanksgiving recipe idea. The bonus is that it's healthy enough that you could get away with eating it for breakfast. Can you say win-win?
I got the idea for this recipe from a magazine years...

I picked up some puffed quinoa at the health food store this weekend and decided to make a little treat with it. I have a deep and unending love for peanut butter, so that's what I went with...
Notes
The natural peanut butter that I used is not very sweet, so I...

With all the excitement of participating in the Vegan Month of Food, I sort of forgot to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Vegangela.com. Working on this blog has been such an enriching experience for me - and even if I were to stop blogging tomorrow, I know that my life has been...

October 28, 2011
So many amazing-looking pumpkin recipes have come out as part of the Vegan Month of Food. Are you all pumpkined-out though? I hope not, because I have this "rawsome" contribution!
This recipe combines traditional pumpkin pie and my decent discovery of raw vegan cheesecake. Even with the cashews and coconut oil,...

October 12, 2011
I realized today that I had two very ripe bananas that I needed to use ASAP. With the price of bananas in Sydney hovering around $13/kilo at the moment, there's no way that any banana in this house can go to waste. Being a temporary ex-pat, I have limited kitchen...

October 7, 2011
When I came across this recipe over at Vegan Good Things back in May, I very swiftly bookmarked it. Anything with peanut butter in it is pretty much awesome in my books. But PB&J? That's even better. I never thought that it would take me this long to get around...

October 6, 2011
I'm sorry for the lack of posts but I've been absolutely swamped with my brother and his friend visiting from Canada. We've been busy sight-seeing and attending various events, and there hasn't been much time to cook, let alone blog. But they left today, and I promise to make up...

September 12, 2011
These are the chocolate chip cookies that my mom made for me growing up - and it's also one of the first recipes that I ever veganized, waaaaay back in high school. At the time, I susbstituted vegan margarine for the butter, and because the recipe didn't call for any...

September 2, 2011
My little mama is so cute. I had sent her the link to Veggie Weggie's Banana Mango Ice Cream in Chocolate Cups a while back, and she surprised me by making them for me when I was visiting last month. She was already a big fan of raw vegan banana...

All my friends and family back home in Ottawa and Toronto have been saying how warm it's been there lately. I'll be there in a couple weeks myself and I really hope that the weather holds-up. I'm especially looking forward to those long hot summer evenings. Sydney has amazing weather...

July 4, 2011
Ever since making my first almost raw vegan cheesecake, I've been thinking about making a key lime version. The slight coconut flavor and taste in the original recipe inspired me to put a further tropical spin on it. All I really did was swap-out the lemon juice for lots of fresh...

June 28, 2011
My oldest memory of rhubarb is eating it straight out of my grandmother's garden when my brother and I were little. Whenever she would cut fresh stalks of rhubarb to make pie or compote, she would give us each a stalk of rhubarb and a little bowl of sugar to dip...

Check out this recipe for Pretty Darn Raw Vegan Cheesecake from Allyson @ Manifest Vegan. Like Allyson, I'm trying to incorporate more raw foods into my diet. Thankfully that doesn't just mean eating more salad! This recipe is proof that you can make delicious raw desserts that compare in flavor...

I found these mini pears at the farmer's market the other day and instantly fell in love with them. Apparently, they're called Paradise or Faccia Bella pears. Although I didn't have a particular use for them them, they were so cute that I had to bring a few home with me....

As you may have read in my Roasted Fresh Tomato Soup post, I've been going a little overboard at the farmers' market lately. I never used to make the effort to get up early and go to farmer's markets, but I have to say that it has since become something...

I really love the healthy truffles that I discovered a couple weeks ago but when I went to make them yesterday, I realized that I didn't have enough walnuts, pecans, or almonds to make them. I did however have a lot of desiccated coconut and really felt like something "coconut-y"....

It's not everyday that you come across a recipe that will become a staple for your household and lifestyle. For me, it has to:
Contain simple ingredients that I normally have on hand
Be easy to prepare
Taste great while being healthy enough to eat each day
I recently discovered raw ice cream, which...

Pretty epic title, huh? Well, it's totally true.
The other day, while watching a boring movie (can't even remember the title, it was THAT bad), I was Googling vegan raw recipes on my iPhone. I was in the mood for something sweet, yet healthy, and I eventually settled on some raw...

You're probably sick of holiday sweets by now, but I made these elegant truffles over the holidays and wanted to share them with you. I actually found this recipe for Easy Decadent Truffles a few years ago and have veganized it with great success a few times now. You've got to...

December 27, 2010
I try to eat pretty well during the year but all my rules concerning minimal sugar and margarine go out the door during the holidays. Being 1/2 French Canadian, food was a big part of Christmas when I was growing up. Because I'm vegan these days, I think it’s really...

Vegan MoFo #22 - I’m always on the lookout for healthy cookie recipes, and was inspired by this one that I found on About.com. I've made it a couple times now, and have modified it a bit each time.
The recipe didn't specify what kind of flour to use, but I...

Vegan MoFo #17 - Fruit crisps are some of my favorite desserts. They're always so fresh and comforting, from apple, rhubarb, mango, peach, raspberry - or combinations thereof. This particular recipe was handed-down to me by my mom, and I've modified it by using wholewheat flour and raw sugar. I...

November 13, 2010
Continuing with my tropical theme this week, here's a yummy tropical tapioca pudding recipe. I especially like serving this after Indian or Thai food. The cool, creamy texture is refreshing after a spicy meal, and the tropical fruits compliments those themes as well.
I love tapioca pudding because it's so...

October 24, 2010
This is a recipe that my mom made for us growing up and I always loved how moist and delicious these muffins were. There's something about the pineapple/carrot combo that is just so perfect (I've got a pineapple carrot cake post coming soon too!) I've since veganized the recipe, and replaced...

October 19, 2010
This is the most luxurious vegan dessert that I make. It's definitely not an everyday dessert, but something that I reserve for special occasions a few times a year. It easily holds-up to any non-vegan dessert served at fancy restaurants. It's extremely rich, so you only need to serve a small...

Canadian Thanksgiving is on Monday, and even though I'm living in Sydney Australia right now, I still like to celebrate it with a nice meal. I haven't yet figured out what I'm going to make this year, but I looked through last year's photos for some inspiration. I made this Tofu...

October 5, 2010
This one of my favorite vegan muffin recipes. The crumbly, sugary topping makes them taste like gooey caramel apples - minus the sticky fingers and face! I suppose you could leave out the topping to make these a bit healthier, but it really adds a great taste and texture to...
