Creamy Vegan Potato Salad by The Blender Girl

I recently shared this potato salad with my friends Kris, Michelle, Emily, Nicole, and my father-in-law, Bob; and the reaction was unanimous–“Oh Wow! I could eat this salad every day. This is a keeper. You need to put this on your site!” At the risk of appearing unashamedly self-congratulatory, I have to agree with my discerning…

Mango Banana Soft Serve by simplynutritiouskate

As an ice cream lover it has been difficult for me to cut store bought ice cream out of my diet.

Allergy-Friendly Vegan Lemon Shortbread by The Blender Girl

So, when I set about creating an allergy-friendly shortbread recipe that my niece could indulge in this Christmas, it was quite a frustrating endeavor.

Gluten-Free Vegan Brandy Cream by The Blender Girl

This vegan incantation of my mom's sensational recipe can be made in five minutes and is utterly divine. This cream is delicious poured over Christmas pudding, fruit cake or berries.

Cinnamon and Ginger Cranberry Sauce by The Blender Girl

This home-made cranberry sauce can be made in minutes; it is ridiculously easy; and absolutely scrumptious. Once you make this, you will never be caught dead buying a jar of pre-made cranberry sauce again. I have always loved cranberry sauce, and this blend is a winner. I have deliberately kept it very basic. I just love the…

Vegan Chocolate Chili Pepper Mousse by The Blender Girl

This vegan chocolate mousse is a beacon of hope for even the most self respecting 1000 calorie mousse devotee. Everything comes to the party to create the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. The tofu gives you some protein, and that lovely creamy texture that gets better when set. The cocoa adds that vital decadence that is a…
