I’m a huge fan of homemade bread (and bread in general) and always looking for great, simple recipes. I’ve been making these flatbreads to bring with me to work for breakfast and snacks (served with hummus and raw cut veggies like cucumber, bell pepper, tomato), but it was time to try something new. Since I love […]

Two Ingredient Healthy Cookies
If you follow my daily musings on Instagram you may know that morning tea time is my favorite ritual. After having my lemon water, supplements and green smoothie, I boil a big pot of Yerba Mate mixed with something flavorful like raspberry tea and maybe tiny bit of local raw cinnamon honey (bought it at […]
Vegan Oatmeal Lace Cookies
Oatmeal lace cookies are a favorite of mine from childhood and I remember making these when I was home alone after school because they’re so easy to make. Making the dough has just two steps: melting the coconut oil and sugar in a pot and then adding the rest of the ingredients. Veganizing this recipe was […]
GLUTEN-FREE QUINOA FLATBREADS
I love bread and always been a big breadhead (it’s a real word to describe people who enjoy eating lots of bread). Since moving to the USA over 10 years ago I’ve been having hard time finding good bread. Supermarket bread aisles here don’t even smell like bread, they smell quite bad honestly. Bakeries are […]
VEGAN APPLE CRISP

I’m pretty good at not buying sweet things for the house, but when the cravings hit I’m quickly whipping things up in the kitchen based on whatever ingredients and imagination I have. And I have tons of […]
VEGAN SPICED COFFEE CAKE
This spiced coffee cake came out so darn good! I love a good coffee cake, just like my mom makes, and found this recipe by Googling vegan spiced coffee cake. I of course altered it quite a bit as usual and this time successfully. It didn’t need the frosting, but since I had cashews and […]
Vegan Marble Cake with Chocolate Frosting
I may have mentioned at some point that I’m a culinary school graduate (restaurant chef) with one year bakery training on top of that. Now this was all very long time ago and I really don’t consider myself as a great cook or baker. But sometimes (usually when I’m hungry) I get inspired to create […]
Vegan Runeberg’s Torte
Runeberg’s torte (torttu) is a Finnish pastry flavored with almonds and rum. The torte got its name from the Finnish poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804–1877) who, according to the legend, enjoyed the torte (baked by his wife Fredrika) with punsch for every breakfast. Runeberg’s tortes are typically eaten only in Finland around Runeberg’s birthday on […]
