(Apparently that was the one he had to have)

For the past few months I have had an obsession with Oh She Glows, cookbook and blog. Trying all of her recipes and enjoying most. But recently I have to admit I have a new love. I discovered Isa Chandra Moskowitz and her website.

Have you tried her recipes before? O-M-G! Her pizza was the first I tried and I have made it so many times i’ve lost count. It’s a bit of a time consumer with having to prepare the dough, sauce, pesto, and tofu ricotta but it is worth it! Her pesto is a must try, and she has an oil free version which I am really trying to make more these days.

When browsing her website I came across her “The Best Pumpkin Muffins” recipe when I was looking for a recipe that uses molasses and I decided to give them a try since I have been having such great luck with her. I made a few modifications and they turned out delicious! I decided to use spelt flour (her recipe calls for all purpose) which makes these muffins wheat-free and making them easier on digestion.

Hope you enjoy!

Gingerbread Cookies

So I was dying to make and decorate some gingerbread men/women and I couldn’t find a cookie cutter anywhere! So I had to settle for Holiday shapes. I guess it all goes down the same. These cookies are absolutely delicious and the icing is amazing. 🙂 I think I ended up eating half of the icing as I was attempting to decorate.

In a large bowl, mix together butter and sugar. Mix in egg replacer,molasses and apple cider vinegar. Set this aside and mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and refrigerate.

Vegan Gingerbread Cookies

Preheat the oven to 375. On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough and cut into desired shapes.
