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...

Chocolate Banana Muffins with Chickpea Flour

October 12, 2011
Chocolate Banana Muffins with Chickpea Flour
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...

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...

Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
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...

Rhubarb Crumble & Ginger Ice Cream

June 28, 2011
Rhubarb Crumble with Ginger Ice Cream
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...

Apple & Plum Crumble

Apple & Plumb Crumble
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...

Macadamia Macaroons
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"....

Vegan Sugar Cookies

December 27, 2010
Vegan Sugar Cookies
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...

Blueberry Macadamia Crumble
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...

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...

Vegan Chocolate Truffle Torte

Vegan Chocolate Truffle Torte
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...

Vegan Caramel Apple Muffins

October 5, 2010
Vegan Caramel Apple Muffins
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...
