For St. Patty’s Day I made this traditional Irish carrot soup.

I think sometimes I idealize life as an Irishman/woman. I had very romantic notions about this soup and its ability to transport me to jaw-dropping cliffs and sea swept country sides of rolling green.

I have had two sugar pumpkins in the back of my pantry for months that I almost forgot about. I wanted to make something more exciting than plain ol’ pumpkin pie out of them, but the inspiration just wasn’t coming…until today! I have wanted to experiment with a vegan cheesecake for some time and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to marry the two flavours together: pumpkin pie and cheesecake! READ MORE

Not trying to toot my own horn or anything, but I am pretty darn proud of myself for these puppies!

I whipped these up last night during a movie break (we watched Red Dawn and all that action was making me hungry!). I wanted something rich and chocolatey but I was also feeling creative.
