Peppermint Rocky Road Chocolate Bark
Peppermint Rocky Road Chocolate Bark Inspiration struck. We were sent a package of Dandies Mini Marshmallows, which just happen to be vegan. And I just happen to be going to a potluck at a friend’s house, and she also happens to be vegan. Chocolate was in the pantry, nuts and some peppermint candies […]
Coconut Milk Caramel Sauce
Coconut Milk Caramel Sauce I wasn’t sure what to name this Caramel Sauce. It is made with Nature’s Charm Evaporated Coconut Milk, so I figured I had to put the word “coconut” in the title. But the thing is that the result is not overwhelmingly coconut-y. This tastes like a classic caramel […]

Peaches and Cream Dump Cake from Scratch
Peaches and Cream Dump Cake from Scratch I became a bit obsessed with the concept of dump cakes, but not the reality. Let me explain. One Google pass at the term and what comes up again and again and again are cakes using goopy sweet canned fruit, cake mixes and the like. Not the way […]
