Dessert

Vegan Strawberry Shortcake

June 5, 2020 by Ariel Leave a Comment


The begining of summer means many things: warm weather, longer days, gardens, running through sprinklers, and more. But one of my favorite things about the start of summer is strawberry season! And it isn’t really summer until you’ve made STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE, am I right?!

If you thought that being plant based meant you had to miss out on something this delicious, think again. This vegan strawberry shortcake is everything you’ve ever wanted it to be: Fluffy, buttery shortcake, juicy red berries, and clouds of smooth whipped topping. (Are you drooling yet?) Let’s do this!…

Aquafaba Whipped Topping

June 4, 2020 by Ariel Leave a Comment


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!…

Vegan Strawberry Vanilla Cake with Strawberry Buttercream

February 13, 2019 by Ariel 2 Comments


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!…

Four-Ingredient Green Smoothie

March 18, 2018 by Ariel Leave a Comment


Four-Ingredient Green SmoothieI try to pack as many nutrient-dense foods as possible into my diet during the winter (especially now that I’m pregnant!), when fresh foods and sunshine aren’t as plentiful. One way I LOVE doing this is with green smoothies! And it doesn’t get much easier than this four-ingredient green smoothie.

Vegan Banana Cream Pie

March 9, 2018 by Ariel Leave a Comment


Vegan Banana Cream PieHappy 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….

Double Dark Chocolate Granola

February 12, 2018 by Ariel 6 Comments


With Valentine’s Day coming up in just two days, the stores are full of hearts, candy, and flowers for that “special someone.” Meanwhile, those of us who think a lot about food have had sweet treats on our mind… But sometimes we focus so much on dessert for Valentine’s Day, that we forget about the other meals! I mean… We still have to eat. 😉  Allow me to share an easy, [semi] healthy granola recipe that is decadent enough to serve for breakfast in bed!

You guys… I am SO EXCITED about this Double Dark Chocolate Granola! It is seriously SO perfect. Crispy-tender, chocolatey, not too sweet… And it almost melts in your mouth. Plus, chocolate for breakfast??? Who WOULDN’T be excited about that? …

Vegan Lemon Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting

August 24, 2017 by Ariel 2 Comments


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!…
