Finding Joy in Healthy Living
Move over whipped cream, there’s someone new in town. Friends, allow me to introduce you to aquafaba. 😀
What is aquafaba, you might ask? It’s really just a fancy word for chickpea juice… Not exactly appealing. But truth be told, it’s amazing! It’s easy, cheap, has a neutral flavor (ie doesn’t taste like beans), and makes stiff peaks that are swoon worthy. And since it’s free of the 8 major food allergens, it’s safe for virtually everyone around your table!…
Valentines Day is almost here, and I have the perfect dessert for your special meal. Enter this incredible Vegan Strawberry Vanilla Cake with Strawberry Buttercream. Yum. 😀
I’ve been holding onto this recipe for over a year, waiting for the perfect time to share it. And now, not only is it perfect for Valentine’s Day, but Seasoned with Sunshine turns three this month!! (yay!)
I’ve loved working in this little corner of cyberspace, slowly (but surely) adding yumminess and sunshine post by post over the last three years. What started as a love for cooking and a super supportive friend who urged me to “just go for it” has turned into a hobby and a dream that I hope keeps growing. And I hope each of you stay with me for the journey! 🙂
So, the bottom line is that it’s time to celebrate. And if there’s a cake worth celebrating with, it’s THIS Vegan Strawberry Vanilla Cake with Strawberry Buttercream!…
Happy Friday, friends! March 2nd was supposedly National Banana Cream Pie Day (who knew there was such a thing?). I’m joining in on the festivities (better late than never!) with a vegan twist on this classic dessert!
This vegan banana cream pie is started off with a crunchy graham cracker crust (the best beginning to any chilled pie, in my opinion). The filling is made from a super-easy vanilla pudding, and fluffy coconut whipped topping. Add more coconut whipped topping and some fresh bananas on top, and *Woah*… I bet you’ll be coming back for another slice. 😉 Or, you could be like my husband, and eat 3 slices for breakfast. Win-win….
Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and with it the hustle and bustle of holiday baking. Pie has always been a must-have at our Thanksgiving dinners. And even more important than the traditional pumpkin pie, is a tender, flavorful, delicious apple pie. This vegan apple pie fits that description perfectly!…
They say that desperation is the mother of invention, and I can attest to the truth of that statement. A few months ago, a friend asked me to bake the cake for her wedding [read: over 250 cupcakes, plus a cake]. Lemon was one of the three flavors she requested. I had never made a lemon cake before, and couldn’t find one online that I liked… So what’s a girl to do? Create her own recipe, of course!…
Nothing says summer like a creamy, chocolatey, melt in your mouth frosty. And now, you can have the classic treat guilt free!
With only 6 ingredients, this is a super easy recipe that whizzes up in mere seconds in your blender. This vegan chocolate frosty has quickly become a favorite in our household, so I make sure to always keep our freezer stocked with frozen bananas….
Red White and Blueberry Buckle
With the 4th of July right around the corner, I wanted to create something yummy and sweet… And of course patriotic in theme. So even though this berry buckle probably isn’t the healthiest thing you’ve ever eaten, your family (and guests) will love it. And I guarantee they won’t know it’s vegan. 😉 …
