Holidays
Vegan Berry Trifle
This berry trifle is really easy to make, but it looks spectacular as the centerpiece on your holiday dessert table!

Vegan (& Gluten Free) Speculaas Cookies
These spiced Dutch cookies are light, crispy, and perfect for the holidays! I made them for St. Nicholas Day, but they would also be great for Yule or Christmas. The spices get stronger as the dough sits, so make the dough a day or two before baking the cookies if you have time to wait. …
